EKWB: Together with Lian-Li they launch the O11D Distro-plate G1, a kind of distributor with a pump that can act as a deposit
Collaboration between Lian-Li and EKWB to develop a kind of block or distributor with an integrated pump, which is quite expensive.
Custom liquid cooling systems are becoming increasingly popular. They offer high-quality, high-performance solutions with excellent durability. They obviously require more specialized knowledge than AIO kits. While the reservoir and pump are typically separate, Lian-Li and EKWB have integrated them into a single block. This block features dedicated ports for the CPU, GPU, and radiator.
If we talk about custom liquid cooling systems, we have to talk about EKWB. The Slovenian company is considered the best manufacturer of elements for this type of cooling systems. This is how EKWB and Lian-Li have come together to develop the O11D Distro-plate G1, which is a water block with an integrated pump.
EKWB and Lian-Li team up to create a tank with integrated pump
We see that it differs from others in that it looks a lot like a radiator that is often used. It is a completely flat transparent methacrylate block with internal segments. A specific circuit has been developed so that the water circulates throughout the system.
It is intended that the routes are as short and efficient as possible between the different parts. It uses the G 1/4 ″ connectors, which are the standard. Support one CPU block, up to two GPU blocks, and radiators up to 360mm.
By integrating the pump, this is an element that acts as a pump and tank / distributor. The DDC 3.1 PWM pump has been integrated which can move up to 500L of liquid per hour at a maximum of 3 600 RPM. In addition, this distribution board has 18 addressable RGB type LEDs for customization to taste.
Those who want to buy it, at the moment it is only available in the United Kingdom for about 175 euros. This is not exactly an economical solution, really.
