EK-Quantum Kinetic TBE 160 DDC combo unit:
The internal tube, which is enclosed in a mounting Kit, can
be used for fluid intake into the reservoir. Make sure that
the sealing gasket on the inner tube is placed correctly.
EK-Quantum Kinetic TBE 120 DDC combo unit:
In the case of 120 Version, please follow these steps:
- Unscrew the reservoir and take off the pre-installed
Anticyclone
-
Remove the top part of the reservoir and attach the
internal tube on one of the three (3) G1/4 holes (make sure
that sealing gasket on the internal tube is placed correctly)
- Secure the top to the reservoir and make sure that all
gaskets are set appropriately.
CAUTION
Using the Internal tube and pre-installed Anticyclone at
the same time is strongly not recommended! This can
damage the Anticyclone.
IMPORTANT
Fittings must be placed on the Top port before installing
the Internal tube. In other case, you can damage the Top!

ATTACHING FITTINGS
INLET
OUTLET
EK-Plugs
G1/4

- 11 -
EK recommends you use the EK-Quantum fittings with
EK-Quantum Kinetic TBE DDC series combo units. If you
use barbs, ensure that tubes are securely attached by
using the hose clamps or an appropriate substitute.
All unused ports should be blocked with the enclosed
G1/4 Plugs.
CAUTION
OUTLET port must always be placed on the marked spot.
Ports on the top of the reservoir should only be used as
Inlet ports with the enclosed Internal tube.
The INLET (suction) ports are those with the G1/4
threading plane.
Make sure not to use fittings or barbs with G1/4 thread
that is longer than 5mm!

CONNECTING THE D-RGB LIGHTS
D-RGB Header
RGB Header

- 13 -
Plug the 3-pin connector from the EK-Quantum Kinetic
TBE DDC to the D-RGB header on the motherboard. The
LEDs will work if the pin layout on the header is +5V GRB.
Please ensure that the arrow on the connector
is plugged into the +5V line, as indicated on
your motherboard.
Failure to do so will damage your motherboard or the
LED strip.

TESTING THE LOOP
To make sure the installation of EK components was
successful, we recommend you 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 the power to any of the other components.
Turn on the PSU and let the pump run continuously. It is
usual for the coolant level to drop during this process as
air collects in the reservoir.
Inspect all the parts of the loop, and in the case of
coolant leaks, fix the issue, and repeat the testing
process. Ensure that all hardware is dry before the
system is powered on in order to prevent any damage.
