STEP 2: INSTALLING THE RESERVOIR HOLDERS

EK-RES X3

series

reservoirs comes with a pair of special -Reservoir holders. These holders are meant to be installed directly on the computer chassis. User EK

may need to drill 2 (two) holes through chassis metal using electric power drill if there are no appropriate mounting holes available. Φ4mm

STEP 2.1

STEP 2.2

STEP 2.3

Use enclosed M4 screw, washer and

nut to mount the reservoir holder

through the pre-drilled hole to the

computer chassis.

Install reservoir onto reservoir holders.

Using a gentle force the reservoir will

easily 'click' into position. The clamps

should always hold onto acrylic tube and

not the acetal top or bottom.

Once the reservoir is positioned please use

enclosed 2.5mm Allen key to tighten the

hex head screw in order to clamp the

reservoir. Do not use high force. Partially

unscrew the aforementioned screw when

removing the reservoir.

Alternatively one can purchase various reservoir holders, such as EK-UNI Holder 50/70 (EAN: 3830046997715): One can use the EK-UNI Holder 50/70 if the

chassis lack the appropriate holes to install the reservoir and the drilling is out of the question. EK-UNI Holder 50/70 can be install on 5. Drive Bay cage and 25”

fixated with M4 screws and nuts to carry the Reservoir Holders.

STEP 3 (optional): USING POLYETHER ANTI-VORTEX FOAM:

EK-RES X3 series reservoir comes preinstalled with EK-RES X3 Anticyclone by default (long or short depending on the variant). In case your system suffers – –

from excessive vortex issues, air bleeding problems or if the pump is sucking in air you may replace the anticyclone with the enclosed polyether foam. There are

two ways to use the polyether anti-vortex foam:

Default configuration

PE foam use whole –

PE foam trim to fit recess –

This is the default configuration of

EK-RES X3

series

reservoir.

Use the foam as a whole to replace EK-

RES X3 Anticyclone. –

Trim the foam to size to fit into the

desired recess on the Reservoir Bottom.

STEP 4 RECOMMENDED RESERVOIR CONFIGURATION :

EK-RES X3 series reservoir features 5 (five) G1/4 threaded inlet/outlet openings on the Reservoir Bottom plus additional one on the Reservoir Top. In order for

reservoir to function properly one port must be used as an inlet and one as an outlet. Unused ports must be closed with plugs using enclosed 6mm Allen key!

GENERAL OVERVIEW OF ALL G1/4 THREADED PORTS:

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. When using ports #3, #4 or #6 it is mandatory to use the enclosed EK-Extender G1/4 (EAN: 3831109845165) due the ports being recessed into the plastic

Reservoir Bottom.

2. When using EK-Extender G1/4 make sure not to use fittings or barbs with G1/4 thread longer than 5mm! All

EK-PSC

and

High Flow

fittings are

compatible!

3. When using ports #1 and #2 make sure not to use fittings or barbs with diameter larger than 25mm! All

EK-PSC

and

High Flow

fittings are compatible!

4. EK recommends the use of EK-PSC fittings. When using fittings other than EK-PSC series please use hose clamps or appropriate substitute to secure the

tubing to the barb. The use of biocide containing and corrosion inhibiting coolant is always recommended for any liquid cooling system.

5. Port #6 of EK-RES X3 series reservoir should only be used to connect this reservoir with external fill port!

TIPS AND ADVICES:

- Using a horizontal pass-through configuration (using ports #1 and #5 as inlet/outlet) will yield in most optimal hydraulic conditions but may result in

difficult initial bleeding of air in low restriction- or high pumping power water cooling systems.

- When using a bottom feeding vertical configuration (using ports #3 and #4 as inlet/outlet) you may experience severe vortex issues. Using a PE foam as

a whole to replace the EK-RES X3 Anticyclone will remedy this issue. Please see STEP 3!
