EK Water Blocks just announced their new lineup of DDC pump tops and reservoirs, called the DDC Elite Series.
The EK-XTOP DDC 3.2 PWM Elite offers increased hydraulic performance (up to 15%) compared to the original factory top. The unit features PWM control for automatic pump speed regulation depending on the CPU temperature. Full performance on demand or whisper quiet operation in idle mode. The Top comes in the two most common flavors used by EK; Plexi and Acetal and they are preloaded with a heatsink made of ZAMAK alloy which consists of “zinc, aluminum, magnesium, copper”. That heatsink comes with thermal pads and noise dampener installed which will reduce the amount of noise and insures better heat transfer to the heatsink. The EK-DDC Heatsink Housing’s metallic construction and finned design enhances the effect of airflow, so it can mounted in front of a radiator to maximize the heat dissipated from the pump. The heatsink itself comes in two finishes Matte black for the acetal top or Nickel plated for the plexi top.
EK-XRES 100 DDC 3.2 PWM Elite is another new member of the EK Water Blocks family, The unit offers the same increased hydraulic performance (up to 15%), as the EK-XTOP and features PWM control for automatic pump speed regulation depending on the CPU temperature. The EK-XRES also is available in the 140 mm Model which just includes a bigger reservoir.
