EKQuantum
Reflection Evolv X
DISTRIBUTION PLATE
USER GUIDE

Before you start using this product please follow these basic guideline s:
Please carefully read the manual before beginning with the
installation process!
The EK Fittings require only a small amount of force to screw
them firmly in place since the liquid seal is ensured by the
rubber O-ring gaskets.
The use of corrosio n inhibiting coolants i s always recommend ed
for any liquid cooling system. EKWB recommends any of the
EKCryofuel for worry-free usage.

PREPARING THE PC CASE
Before installing the EK-Quantum Reflection Evolv X
distribution plate, carefully read the Phanteks Enthoo
Evolv X PC case manuals.
In order to install EK-Quantum Reflection Evolv X remove the front
panel and both side panels from the case. Cable covers also needs
to be removed.
PREPARING THE PC CASE
Steel Washer
M4 X 10 7984DIN
STEP 1
Place the EK-Quantum Reflection Evolv X in the right position inside
the case. Make sure that mounting holes are aligned.
STEP 2
Secure the EK-Quantum Reflection Evolv X distribution plate with
six (6) M4 X 10 7984DIN mounting screws and steel washers.

In order to complete your loop, all of the ports should be used as
marked on the diagrams.
All remaining and unused ports should be closed using the

CONNECTING THE D-RGB LED STRIP
D-RGB Connector
D-RGB Header
Plug the 3-pin connector of the distribution plate D-RGB LED light to
the D-RGB HEADER on the motherboard. The LED will work if the pin
layout on the header is as follows: +5V, Digital, Empty, Ground.
Please ensure that the arrow indicated on the connector is
plugged into t he +5V line as indicated on yo ur motherboard.
If you put LED Diode to the 12V RGB HEADER you can
damage the LEDs.
Connector is the same on D-RGB and RGB versions,
but D-RGB version has 3 cables from connector to PCB;
RGB version has 4 cables. If you connect D-RGB led to
ordinary RGB header you can damage your motherboard
or LED strip.

TESTING THE LOOP
To make sure the installation of EK components was successful, we
recommend you perform a leak test for 24 hours.
When your loop is complete and filled with coolant, connect the
pump to a PSU outside of your system. Do not connect power to
any of the other components. Turn on the PSU and let the pump
run continuously. It is normal for the coolant level to drop during this
process as air collects in the distribution plate.
The EK-D5 PWM pump has two connectors.
1. 4-pin Molex: It must be connected directly to your PSU at all
times as it is used to power the pump.
2. 4 -pin PWM fan: It can be connected to your motherboard’s
CPU_ Fan or designated water pump header. It can also be
connected to a controller. This cable is used to control and report
the rotational speed of the pump. If it’s not connected, the pump
will run at maximum speed (100% PWM).
Inspect all parts of the loop, and in the eventuality that coolant leaks,
fix the issue and repeat the testing process. Ensure that all hardware is
dry before the system is powered on in order to prevent any damage.
