EK introduces new Reservoir and Pump naming scheme
26/09/2014
EK Water Blocks, Ljubljana based premium water cooling gear manufacturer, is introducing a new, more standardized naming scheme for all Reservoir and Pump related products.
- RES - A cylindrical multi-port reservoir (e.g. EK-RES X3). This naming stands unchanged.
- SBAY RES - A 5.25" single-slot drive bay occupying reservoir (e.g. EK-SBAY RES - Acetal). Original CSQdenominates satin finish acrylic glass.
- DBAY RES - A 5.25" dual-slot drive bay occupying reservoir. Currently available with spinning wheel flow indicator and water fall effect (e.g. EK-DBAY RES SPIN - Plexi). Original CSQ denominates satin finish acrylic glass.
- XRES [size] - A pump-reservoir combo unit with cylindrical reservoir (e.g. EK-XRES 140 D5 - Acetal (Original CSQ)). Original CSQ denominates satin finish acrylic glass.
- SBAY - A 5.25" single-slot drive bay occupying pump-reservoir combo unit (e.g. EK-SBAY Dual DDC - Acetal).Original CSQ denominates satin finish acrylic glass.
- DBAY - A 5.25" dual-slot drive bay occupying pump-reservoir combo unit (e.g. EK-DBAY D5 PWM - Acetal).Original CSQ denominates satin finish acrylic glass.
Standalone reservoirs in various form factors are now known under these names. The units are available with- or without a pump (which is mandatory):
