EK, the premium water cooling gear manufacturer, is launching the EK-Quantum Reflection Obsidian 1000D D5 PWM D-RGB, a reservoir, routing, and pump solution specifically engineered for Corsair Obsidian 1000D case. This distro plate is made to provide a unique water-cooling solution with dual D5 pumps for users who demand premium aesthetics, silence, and enough flow for multiple GPUs or even dual systems in one case.

This distribution plate is designed to bring the slim-lined EK Quantum aesthetics to the front of the 1000D case and to offer high flow and silent operation thanks to two serially connected genuine D5 pumps. While it is slim, it's absolutely massive in surface and weighs in at a whopping 5.3 kilograms. EK-Quantum Reflection Obsidian 1000D D5 distribution plate will only fit the Corsair Obsidian 1000D Super-Tower.
 
The distro plate takes up both frontal radiator mounting positions, leaving room for two thick XE 480 mm radiators in the top. Three metal brackets come with this Reflection waterway - two are used to mount it to the front telescoping radiator tray. The third is used, if your loop is utilizing soft tubing, to connect the top and front radiator trays, allowing you to pull them out together.
 
EK-Quantum Reflection Obsidian 1000D D5 PWM D-RGB distribution plate is made in Slovenia, Europe and is available for order through EK Webshop or EK Partner Reseller Network for €699.99.
 
That must be one large distro plate in my opinion to cost 700 Euros

    I think you loose front fan capability with this as it goes on the rack.

    3900X 4.5 GHZ on an Asus Hero
    32 GB 3600 MHZ Corsair RGB Pro DDR4 RAM
    1 EVGA 3090 XC3 soon to be Watercooled

    I just noticed the price.  That is pretty extreme.  It almost feels like a price gouging sob is reselling it at that price point. lol

    You could use the rest as intake and use the rear for exhaust.

    I never understood the point of this distro plate.  It eliminates two of the radiators.  Also it costs as much as the case.

    I so wish this plate was out a year ago...

    I used to mine. Now I compute.

    At this point EK might as well just build a case entirely out of a distro block. Or at least one entire side panel. 


    Have water, will cool.

    This seems completely pointless and way over-priced.

    haha, that looks so ugly in my opinion... The person that buys and doesn't see this picture of what it's going to look like... is going to be like "I paid $750 for that?"
