The main upgrades of the Kinetic³ combo units include:
- Additional G1/4″ connection ports
- Front-mounted pump for added versatility
- Side and back mounting holes for flexibility during installation
- A custom-made inner O-ring that prevents coolant from seeping between the channels and improves flow
- Dense LED strip implementation
- User-friendly LED cover for LED strip service
The flat-style combo units were first introduced to the market by EK Water Blocks in 2019, and this made them even easier to fit in tight spaces, as they also utilized standard 120 mm and 140 mm fan mounting holes and take up as much space as a radiator in terms of width and length.
These next-generation EK-Quantum Kinetic³ FLT D5 pump-reservoir combo units build on the success of the existing FLT, flat-style combo unit and further improves compatibility, and simplifies the installation process by moving the pump to the front side and implementing additional G1/4″ connection ports.
They all come with sophisticated addressable D-RGB lighting and a genuine D5 pump! The units feature standard 120 and 140 mm fan mounting holes for maximum flexibility during the installation. The reservoir is equipped with up to nine G1/4″ ports so that users can choose the most optimal setup for their liquid cooling loops.
The new Kinetic³ flat-shaped pump-reservoir units are to revolutionize the way you were thinking about combo units and loop building. Since 120 and 140 mm fan mounting patterns (105 and 125 mm apart) are the most dominant mounting options inside PC cases these days, these new Kinetic FLT D5 combo units will allow greater flexibility for installation since they don’t require drilling of mounting holes on your case. The combo unit is also equipped with additional mounting points on both sides (105 and 125 mm apart), which can be used with the included steel L-shaped mounting plates. All mounting holes utilize M4 threads with the included screws.
