D5 Series Reservoir
This product is intended for installation only by expert users. Please consult with a qualified technician for installation. Improper installation may result in damage to your equipment. EK Water Blocks assumes no liability
whatsoever, expressed or implied, for the use of these products, nor their installation. The following instructions are subject to change without notice. Please visit our web site at www.ekwb.com for updates. Before
installation of this product please read important notice, disclosure and warranty conditions printed on the back of the box.
Before you start using this product please follow these basic guidelines:
1. Please carefully read the manual before through before beginning with the installation process!
2. The EK HFB and EK-ACF type fittings require only a small amount of force to screw them firmly in place since the liquid seal is ensured by the rubber o-ring gaskets.
3. The use of corrosion inhibiting coolants is always recommended for any liquid cooling system.
STEP 1: PREPARING THE PUMP (already done by EK)
STEP 2: INSTALLING THE XRES D5 (already done by EK)
Unscrew the ribbed threaded ring that attaches the Laing pump’s
original factory top and the main pump core housing with motor.
Store the original top, the original o-ring gasket and the attaching
ring in a safe place.
1. Install the EK-XRES Revo D5 onto the pump main motor housing. Make sure you install EK
provided 61x3mm o-ring gasket! Reseat the gasket if needed.
You can rotate the pump and use it in any direction except upside-down to best suit your
installation.
2. Secure the pump on the EK-XRES 100 Revo D5 using enclosed M74 Nut.
STEP 3 (optional): USING POLYETHER ANTI-VORTEX FOAM or EK-HD Tube:
EK-XRES 100 Revo D5 series pump top / reservoir comes preinstalled with Anticyclone by default. 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 or EK-HD Tube. There are two ways to use the polyether anti-
vortex foam:
Default configuration
PE foam –use whole
PE foam –trim to fit recess
HD Tube
This is the default configuration of
EK-XRES 100 Revo D5 series
reservoir.
Use the foam as a whole to replace
the Anticyclone.
Trim the foam to size to fit into the
desired inlet recess on the EK-XRES
Revo D5 main body.
Insert enclosed o-ring 16x2 into the
groove inside center hole and insert
enclosed EK-HD Tube 12/16.
STEP 4: MOUNT THE EK-XRES 100/140 Revo D5 RESERVOIR INTO THE COMPUTER CHASSIS
By default the EK-XRES Revo D5 ships with EK-Revo D5 Holder. This holder is meant to be installed directly on the computer chassis. User may need to drill 4 (four) Φ5 mm
(enclosed sticker with designated holes) holes through the metal chassis using electric power drill if there are no appropriate mounting holes available. EK recommends users
to find an appropriate position in your computer chassis to install the EK-XRES Revo D5 pump assembly.
To sucessfully install the EK-XRES Revo D5 pump/reservoir assembly please complete the following steps:
1. Find an appropriate position for the unit inside (or perhaps outside) of your computer
chassis; drill mounting holes if needed. Sticker with designated holes position is enclosed.
Before drilling stick it to the Computer chassis.
2. Attach the EK-Revo D5 Holder to the computer chassis metal frame using enclosed 4
(four) M4x10 DIN7984 screws and PVC washers. Secure the screws using enclosed Allen
key 2.5mm..
3. Insert the rubber dumper into the EK-Revo D5 Holder. Insert the pump into the dumper.
And secure it using two M3x12 DIN7984 screws from the side of the holder. Use enclosed
2mm Allen key. Your installation is now complete.

STEP 5: ATTACHING FITTINGS
EK-XRES Revo D5 PWM (incl. pump) series reservoir pump combo featured 3 (three) G1/4 threaded ports on the main body of which 1 (one) is inlet and other is outlet. When
reservoir is in upright position outlet port is positioned lower than inlet port. EKWB recommends using EK-ACF fittings with the EK-XRES Revo D5 PWM series reservoir pump
combo units. To ensure that the tubes are securely attached to the barb/fittings, please use hose clamps or an appropriate substitute.
It is mandatory to use the correct INLET and OUTLET ports:
1. The OUTLET port (pressure port) is, when the reservoir sits in upright position, positioned
lower than the inlet port.
2. The INLET port(s) (suction port) is the port with G1/4 threading plane.
3. Make sure not to use fittings or barbs with G1/4 thread longer than 5mm! All EK-ACF,
EK-HDC fittings are compatible!
TIP: Port on reservoir’s top part is not intended to be used as inlet port. The
aforementioned port should only be used for connecting this reservoir with external fill
port!
IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES:
VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE: Once the installation is completed, it is a recommended practice to test the cooling circuit for leaks prior to powering up the computer. We
recommend a 24 hour leak test prior to powering up the computer. Do not test the water block using tap water pressure. This will rupture the top of the housing and render
the block unusable (and will void your warranty). While all efforts have been made to provide the most comprehensive tutorial possible, EK Water Blocks assumes no liability
expressed or implied for any consequential damage(s) occurring to your equipment as a result of using EK Water Blocks cooling products, either due to errors or omissions on
