Known as the snappily named EK-Quantum Kinetic TBE 160 DDC Body D-RGB, it's the standalone pumpless version of the newly released tubular style Kinetic TBE combo units made for DDC pumps. The thinking is that it can be used to upgrade your old DDC-based combo unit or to utilise any existing previously owned DDC pump. Because who wants to spend excessive sums unless they have to, right? It's a move that EK has done previously with other versions of its pump-reservoir combos with this being the next natural step.
The combo unit is equipped with six G1/4" ports so you can choose the most optimal setup for your liquid cooling loop based on how you've arranged things. The 60mm diameter tube is made from acrylic material with the same material used for the reservoir bottom and top. The sealing is conducted by a quality EPDM o-ring. Two variants are available with tops made from either glass-like Acrylic or black POM acetal. EK also reckons that the reservoirs can be easily upgraded with longer acrylic tubes used by EK-RES X3 series reservoirs if you want.
