EK-Quantum Kinetic TBE D5 combo unit is the revolution of the most popular pump-reservoir assembly design on the market. The new Kinetic combo units are part of the EK Quantum Line of products and come with sophisticated addressable D-RGB lighting implementation and a genuine D5 pump! The reservoir is equipped with a total of six G1/4“ ports so that users can choose the most optimal setup for their liquid cooling loops.


The top features three G1/4" ports, one of which has a pre-installed nickel-plated brass internal tube which helps to prevent the splashing of the coolant inside the reservoir if the top is to be used as an inlet. This reduces the chances of air being sucked in by the pump and foaming of the coolant as well. Any of these ports can also use used for filling the system or adding additional accessories (thermal probes, LEDs, etc.)


Another three industry-standard G1/4" ports are available in the bottom combo housing. The upgrade compared to the previous combo unit is the 3rd available side port usable as either an optional inlet or a drain port.


A special rubber shock absorber is used to de-couple the main pump body from the mounting clip for silent operation, free of vibration-induced noise. Additionally, horizontal and vertical positioning is supported for easier tube routing possibilities.

The 60mm diameter tube is made of high-quality acrylic material just like the reservoir bottom and top while the sealing is performed by a quality EPDM o-ring. Proper LED implementation is one of the main focus points of EK so that there are as few visible "LED hotspots" as possible.


The integrated addressable D-RGB is compatible with popular RGB sync technologies from all major motherboard manufacturers. The arrow marking on the 3-pin LED connector is to be aligned with the +5V marking on the D-RGB header.


This reservoir can be easily upgraded with longer acrylic tubes used by EK-RES X3 series reservoirs.

Expensive But Good

Would recommend - yes

I was after a pump and reservoir for a custom GPU cooling solution. The D5 is a little more expensive than the others but is a solid and robust unit. It is very configurable with lots of ports. If I had my time over, I'd buy it again.


Good Pump

Would recommend - yes

Fast powerful pump, has a bit of a whine around between 50% and 60% pwm (which I understand is common with D5 pumps), and outside that range is very quiet


Very Fast Pump.

Would recommend - yes

YouTube said the D5 was the best and wasn't disappointed. Flow looks good in a loop with a couple of blocks and a radiator. Bit loud at full speed, but I've found a sweet spot at 50% speed.
