Fittings for EK-Quantum Reflection² PC-O11D MINI D5 PWM D-RGB distro plate

The EK-Quantum Reflection² PC-O11D MINI D5 PWM D-RGB distro plate features numerous ports and offers multiple ways of properly connecting it to other loop components like radiators, CPU, and GPU blocks. This article explains exactly which fittings (like extenders, adapters, angled adapters, etc.) can and should be used to properly connect the radiators and water blocks to this distro plate. 

Here’s the table of content for easier navigation:

- Choosing the fittings according to the CPU block used in the loop

- Choosing the fittings according to the Monoblocks used in the loop

- Choosing the Plugs and Drain valve for the loop

Choosing the fittings according to the radiator(s) used in the loop

The Lian Li O11D MINI case provides enough room to fit several different-sized radiators, so we decided to explain which fittings are to be used with different radiator setups. 

Bottom radiators and port connections

If the bottom radiator is S360, (it will obstruct the PCIe slots 5-7) use the following:

• 2x 14 mm MF extender
• 2x Torque Rotary 90° (not micro)
• 4x EK-Quantum Torque HDC

If the bottom radiator is S240, (it will obstruct the PCIe slots 6-7) use the following:

• 2x 14 mm MF extender
• 2x Torque Rotary 90° (not micro)
• 4x EK-Quantum Torque HDC

If the bottom radiator is P240 (not the X-Flow), (it will obstruct the PCIe slots 5-7) use the following:

• 2x Torque Rotary 90° (not micro)
• 4x EK-Quantum Torque HDC

Top (optional) radiator and port connections

If the top radiator is S360, (not possible with the 7-slot layout!) use the following:

• 2x 14 mm MF extender
• 2x Torque Rotary 90° (not micro)
• 4x EK-Quantum Torque HDC

Side (optional) radiator and port connections

If the side radiator is S240, use the following:

• 1x 28 mm MF extender
• 1x Torque Rotary 90° (not micro)
• 1x Torque Rotary Offset 14
• 4x EK-Quantum Torque HDC

Top and Side (optional) radiator and port connections

If the top radiator is S360 and the side is S240, (not possible with the 7-slot layout!) use the following:

• 2x 14 mm MF extender
• 3x Torque Rotary 90° (not micro)
• 6x EK-Quantum Torque HDC
• 1x Torque Rotary Offset 14

GPU and CPU water blocks connectivity

Given the wide variety of motherboards and graphics cards available on the market, this distro plate has multiple ports for CPU and GPU connections, so you must choose the most suitable fittings, extenders, and adapters for your project. We also offer Offset Fittings to help you achieve straight-line tubing routes from your CPU/GPU block to the DP ports.  

Note: All Reflection², Vector², and Velocity² products, as well as all the Quantum Torque fittings, adapters, extenders, and Surface radiators, are made according to the EK-Matrix7 standard, enabling more user-friendly port connectivity. It also allows us to provide you with detailed info on how to easily connect the CPU and GPU blocks (Velocity² and Vector²) with the DP ports.
