EKWB EK-SBAY DDC 3.2 PWM incl. pump

The EK-SBAY DDC 3.2 PWM is a water cooling combo featuring an EK-DDC 3.2 PWM water pump, which EK Water Blocks has integrated into a custom alternative housing along with a reservoir.

The outer surface of the EK-SBAY DDC 3.2 PWM is primarily made of POM/Acetal. The acrylic glass mounted at the front of the combo allows for direct visibility of the coolant level and can create a lighting effect when using appropriate coolant. This is particularly advantageous as the combo can be installed in an external 5.25-inch slot.

According to the manufacturer, the built-in water pump achieves a flow rate of 1,000 l/h and a maximum head height of 5.2 m. However, the pump is regulated via PWM control from the motherboard, ensuring that only the necessary power (and thus noise) is produced.

The EK-SBAY DDC 3.2 PWM features two G1/4 ports, allowing for the installation of nearly any G1/4 fitting. EK recommends using the Compression Fittings from the EK-CSQ series. Additionally, there is a G3/8 port on the top, which is used for filling the reservoir.

When mounted in a 5.25-inch slot, the combo is dampened by rubber, providing decoupled operation from the case with reduced vibration transmission. The unit can also be expanded with the EK-DDC Heatsink Housing, although this would require the use of two external 5.25 slots.
