EK Launches a Side Distribution Plate for the O11 Dynamic with a Powerful and Compact DDC 3.2 PWM Pump
EK®, a premium water cooling gear manufacturer, is launching the EK-Classic DP Side PC-O11D G1 D-RGB + DDC 3.2 PWM, a custom water cooling reservoir, routing and pump solution. This “distro plate” is specifically designed to provide an advanced water cooling solution with the strongest pump that can be fitted for the incredibly popular O11D and O11D XL chassis by LIAN LI.
Designed to simplify the custom water cooling build process for beginners PC builders who enter the hard tubing water cooling world, the EK-Classic DP Side PC-O11D G1 D-RGB + DDC 3.2 PWM offers an all in one solution that includes pump, reservoir, simple mounting mechanism, and multiple industry standard G1/4″ threaded inlet and outlets. The placement of these inlets and outlets are perfectly aligned to fit inline with the PC components in order to minimize the number of bends the user has to make in order to create the loop. Able to support 1 CPU, 2 GPUs and up to 2 radiators, custom water cooling has never been so accessible.


Engineered to be mounted next to the motherboard, the EK-Classic DP Side PC-O11D G1 can fit elegantly within the LIAN LI O11 Dynamic and the recently launched LIAN LI O11D XL ROG certified chassis. The built-in addressable LED strip contains 18 digital LEDs, connects to the motherboard 5V header and is compatible with MSI’s MYSTIC LIGHT SYNC, ASROCK’S MONOCHROM SYNC, ASUS’S AURA SYNC, and GIGABYTE’s RGB FUSION software for a coordinated lighting effect.
This water distribution plate comes with a powerful, market-proven, PWM controlled 3.2 DDC pump, but is compatible with any DDC mount compatible pump. The goal was making a product that has enough power to give great performance with multiple blocks and radiators. Due to size constraints, the DDC 3.2 PWM pump was chosen over a D5 pump. Its compact design, quiet and powerful motor make it ideally suited for heavy duty cooling in environments where space is at a premium.
