EK Water Blocks will introduce the ARGB built-in plate type reservoir EK-Quantum Reflection2 Fractal XL D5 PWM, which will be compatible with Fractal Design Define 7 XL and Meshify 2 XL.

A pump-integrated plate-type reservoir that may be installed close to the motherboard mounting area. When utilizing EK Water Blocks water blocks, the acrylic panel is supplied with several G1 / 4 fittings to reduce bending of hard tubes. Furthermore, the pump unit is a high-power type with a maximum flow rate of 1,500 L / h and a lift of 3.9 m, allowing it to maintain an adequate flow rate even when numerous water blocks are used in the water cooling system.

The number of LEDs is 27, the cable length is 600 mm, the reservoir capacity is 557 ml, and the main body dimensions are 183 mm wide, 77 mm deep, and 490 mm tall. It will be available in early August for € (!)

Pricing for watercooling things is simply ridiculous.
The entire case (7XL) + lots of extension trays for HDDs costed me less than 300 EUR, and only this little acrylic thing costs 400?

Honestly, if it would cost about 100€, I'd get it, just because I've been fancying building my next rig in the Define 7XL (sound dampened), and it decently offers an easy way to connect to the top filling port. I'd not connect the RGB though, because I have no use for it.
For this price though, they can keep it.

wtf EK... I know this is a low volume product but your pricing definitely isn't helping either.

Also, case-specific distro plates are dumb IMO. A normal tube reservoir or even EK's own flat FLT-series is much better because it allows you to migrate it into a new case.

Typical overpriced EK crap. I have only two things from them (the filling bottle and the pressure tester), and with the second one, the fitting they provide was the leaky part instead of the hypothetical leak it made me look for three hours.

I smell a bunch off poor peasants in here and rampant ignorance. And lots of whining.

$100 in any currency for a block with a D5 PWN pump, drugs are bad people.

$149 for my EK block my 6800xt, so tell me again how EK is over priced crap.
And much better copper plate then all of the chinese ones out there for the same price.
