EK-Quantum Kinetic³ FLT D5 PWM D-RGB Installation Manual
Basic Guidelines
Before starting, please follow these basic guidelines:
Please carefully read the manual before beginning the installation process.
The EK fittings require only a small amount of force to screw them firmly in place, as the liquid seal is ensured by the rubber o-ring gaskets.
The use of corrosion inhibiting coolants is always recommended for any liquid cooling system. EKWB recommends EK-Cryofuel for worry-free usage.
There are many ways to install your EK-Quantum Kinetic³ FLT Body as it utilizes a standard fan mounting hole pattern with 15 mm spacing, the same as all EK radiators. The mounting holes have standard M4 threads with maximum engagement of 10 mm. Use of longer screws or screws with incorrect threads, such as those intended for fans or radiators, may damage your product!

Mounting Orientation
The FLT Reservoir can be mounted in multiple directions. Vertical and horizontal positions are optional.
Do not mount FLT Reservoir when the pump is in dead position. ⚠️
Correct mounting: ✔️
Incorrect mounting: ❌
Installing EK-Quantum Kinetic³ FLT Directly to the Chassis
Using the included M4 screws, you can mount the reservoir directly to your chassis or any other standard fan mounting location.
Diagram showing a PC chassis with arrows indicating mounting points for the reservoir using M4 x 10 DIN7984 screws.
For this step, you will need:
- Allen Key 2.5 mm
- M4 x 10 7984DIN Screw (4 pcs)
Installing EK-Quantum Kinetic³ FLT with Supplied Mounts
EK provides a Kinetic³ Side Mount Bracket along with M4 nuts, washers, and screws to allow the installation of the reservoir onto fans, radiators, or PC cases. The bracket can be positioned across any pair of mounting holes in various orientations.
Example: EK-Quantum Kinetic³ FLT 240 mounted on a radiator.
STEP 1
Screw the bracket onto the radiator using the supplied four (4) M4x4 DIN7984 screws with the 2.5 mm allen key.
For this step, you will need:
- Allen Key 2.5 mm
- M4 x 4 7984DIN Screw (4pcs)
- Mount Bracket (2pcs)
STEP 2
To secure the reservoir, use four (4) M4x8 DIN7984 screws with the 2.5 mm allen key. In this configuration, the ports on the reservoir are aligned with the ports on the radiator.
For this step, you will need:
- Allen Key 2.5 mm
- M4 x 8 7984DIN Screw (4pcs)
Attaching the Fittings
92 Version
EK-Quantum Kinetic³ FLT 92 has two inlet and two outlet ports; one of each must be used! All unused ports should be blocked using G1/4 plugs.
Diagram showing the 92 Version reservoir ports labeled: FILL, INLET, OUTLET/DRAIN.
120/140 Version
EK-Quantum Kinetic³ FLT 120/140 has three inlet and three outlet ports; one of each must be used! All unused ports should be blocked using G1/4 plugs.
Diagram showing the 120/140 Version reservoir ports labeled: FILL, INLET, OUTLET/DRAIN.
240/280/360 Version
EK-Quantum Kinetic³ FLT 240/280/360 has three inlet and three outlet ports; one of each must be used! All unused ports should be blocked using G1/4 plugs.
Diagram showing the 240/280/360 Version reservoir ports labeled: FILL, INLET, OUTLET/DRAIN, ROUTING/SPLITTING PORT.
Connecting the D-RGB LED Strip
Plug the 3-pin connector from the water block's D-RGB LED light into the D-RGB HEADER on the motherboard. The LED will work if the pin layout on the header is as follows: +5V, Digital.
⚠️ Please ensure that the arrow indicated on the connector is plugged into the +5V line as indicated on your motherboard. Failure to do so will damage your motherboard or LED strip.
Connecting the Pump
The EK-D5 Pump has two connectors:
- SATA Connector: It must be connected directly to your PSU at all times as it is used to power the pump.
- 4-pin PWM fan: It can be connected to your motherboard's CPU_ Fan or designated water pump header. It can also be connected to a controller. This cable is used to control and report the rotational speed of the pump. If it's not connected, the pump will run at maximum speed (100% PWM).
Testing the Loop
To ensure the installation of EK components was successful, perform a leak test for 24 hours.
When your loop is complete and filled with coolant, connect the pump to a PSU outside of your system. Do not connect power to any of the other components. Turn on the PSU and let the pump run continuously. It is normal for the coolant level to drop during this process as air collects in the reservoir.
Inspect all parts of the loop. In the eventuality that coolant leaks, fix the issue and repeat the testing process. Ensure that all hardware is dry before the system is powered on to prevent any damage.
