5. EKWB EK-Loop D5 G3

The EK-Loop D5 G3 PWM motor is a true high-performance D5 water pump with PWM speed control via the motherboard or a special fan/pump controller. Compared to the previous generation G2, the G3 has elegant black cables and a SATA power connector. The EK-Loop D5 G3 PWM motor is an improved version of the world-famous, original Xylem D5 PWM pump, which has an improved PWM control driver. 

6. Alphacool Computer cooling system part/accessories

After completing the water circuit, the last step is usually filling the system. Occasionally, it happens that some liquid leaks out somewhere. This is often due to a hard tube or hose not being seated correctly or a connection not being fully tightened. With the Alphacool Leak Testing Tool, you can test the tightness of your water circuit even before filling the system.

The Leak Testing Tool consists of a hand pump, a pressure gauge, an 11/8 mm hose, which has a connection with a G1/4“ thread at the end. Everything is connected via a T-piece. The hose is 40 cm long and features a kink protection spring.

You connect the Alphacool Leak Testing Tool to a free G1/4“ connection in the system and operate the hand pump until the desired pressure is reached. Please note that there may be different maximum specifications depending on the manufacturer. Now, you should wait about 15 to 20 minutes. If the pressure has not dropped during this time, then the water circuit is tight.

10. Aqua Computer -Pump mechanics with PWM input and tacho signal

The D5 pump mechanism represents a powerful pump motor that needs to be completed with a suitable housing to form a complete pump. The electronically commutated ball motor operates extremely quietly and has a long lifespan.

The pump's performance can be adjusted via a PWM signal; alternatively, the pump can also be controlled through the input voltage. Additionally, a tachometer signal is available for monitoring the pump's function.

Attention: The Aqua Computer D5 pump features an optimized PWM input and can therefore be controlled by any PWM output designed according to Intel specifications. In particular, this pump can be operated from the aquaero 5/6 on the fan channels with an additional PWM output without incurring power losses at the aquaero. All currently available D5 pumps with PWM input from other manufacturers (as of January 2015) have different hardware and may not be properly controlled by the aquaero 5/6 via PWM! The Aqua Computer D5 pump is compatible with all known controllers.
