It is an all-in-one solution that includes a pump and a reservoir while acting as a coolant routing system. To avoid any confusion that this distro plate is only for novice-level users, seasoned PC builders will also appreciate the engineering that went into the EK-Mana G2. This product is EK-Matrix7 compatible. The Matrix7 standard ensures the placement of the inlets and outlets is aligned with other Matrix7-compatible products. This minimizes the number of bends needed to create a perfect loop, or completely removes the tube bending process from the equation if using pre-bent 90° tubes. The distro plate comes with a powerful, market-proven, PWM-controlled 4.2 DDC pump made in Europe! The pump can draw a maximum of 18W and is powered via a black flat cable with a SATA connection. The goal was to create a product with enough power to give outstanding performance with multiple blocks and radiators. Users can buy an aftermarket heatsink from the EK-Quantum Convection series for added cooling of the DDC pump to increase its lifespan. It is mounted on the side of the case, revealing the beautiful aesthetics through the side window. The built-in addressable LED strip connects to the motherboard 5V header and is compatible with MSI’s Mystic Light Sync, ASRock’s Polychrome Sync, ASUS’ Aura Sync, and GIGABYTE’s RGB FUSION software for a coordinated lighting effect. It also works with Lian Li’s L-Connect RGB control software.
