This product is intended for installation by expert users only.
Please consult with a qualified technician for installation.
Improper installation may result in damage to the 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 website at www.ekwb.com for updates.
Before you start using this product, please follow the basic
guidelines:
Carefully read the manual before beginning with the
installation process!
EK Fittings require only a small amount of force to screw
them firmly in place since the liquid seal is ensured with
the rubber o-ring gaskets.
The use of quality market-proven corrosion-inhibiting
coolants is always strongly recommended for any liquid
cooling system.

Install the EK-D5 PWM G2 Motor onto the EK-
Quantum Inertia by following these steps:
1. Install the provided 60x3 O-ring gasket to the EK-D5
PWM G2 Motor.
2. Once the O-ring gasket is in place, take the pump and
place it into the EK-Quantum Inertia. You can rotate
the EK-D5 PWM G2 Motor if required.
3. Fix the pump onto the EK-Quantum Inertia using the
locking ring.
4. Take the rubber damper and place it into the pump holder.
5. Once the rubber damper is installed into the pump
holder, push the assembled part onto the EK-D5
PWM G2 Motor.
6. Take the M3x12 DIN7984 screws and secure the EK-
D5 PWM G2 Motor to the pump holder. You should
use the 2mm Allen Key. The plate with two M3 thread
holes is preinstalled by EK.
INSTALLING EK-QUANTUM
INERTIA D5 PWM D-RGB

By default, the EK-Quantum Inertia D5 PWM D-RGB
ships with a pump holder that can be installed directly
to the computer chassis. If there are no appropriate
mounting holes available, the user may need to drill
four (4) Ф5 mm holes through the metal chassis with an
electric power drill. Included is a sticker that can be
used to mark the hole centers accurately.

EK-Quantum Inertia D5 PWM D-RGB can be used in
any mounting configuration (position) apart from being
mounted upside down! Mounting the pump upside
down will result in the pump running dry and eventually
lead to premature failure of the pump!

INSTALLING THE ASSEMBLY
USING A PUMP BRACKET*
EK-Loop UNI
Pump Reservoir
Bracket
M4 PVC Washer
M4 x 10 DIN7984
*an optional step; the pump bracket is sold separately
If you have an option to mount the assembly on
120/140mm fan or 120/140mm fan mounting holes,
EK recommends using the EK-Loop UNI Pump
Reservoir Bracket.
Secure the EK-Quantum Inertia D5 PWM D-RGB
onto the EK-Loop UNI Pump Reservoir Bracket using
the enclosed M4 x 10 DIN7984 screws and M4 PVC
washers (as shown in the image).

ATTACHING THE FITTINGS
OUTLET
INLET
EK recommends using EK-Quantum Torque Fittings
with the EK-Quantum Inertia D5 PWM D-RGB series
pump tops. To ensure the tubes are securely attached
to the barb/fitting, please use hose clamps or an
appropriate substitute.
• It is mandatory to use the correct INLET and
OUTLET ports.
• The OUTLET is the G1/4 threaded opening on the
side of the pump-top housing.
• The INLET (suction) port is the central G1/4
threaded opening on the EK-Quantum Inertia D5
PWM D-RGB front face plane.
• Make sure not to use fittings or barbs with a
G1/4 thread longer than 5mm! All EK fittings are
compatible.

CONNECTING THE PUMP
4-Pin Molex
Connector
4-Pin
PWM Fan
Connector
The EK-D5 PWM pump has two following connectors:
1. 4-Pin Molex - Must be connected directly to your
PSU at all times as it’s used to power the pump.
2. 4-Pin PWM Fan Connector – Can be connected to
your motherboard’s CPU, fan, or designated water
pump header, as well as a controller. This cable is
used to control and report the rotational speed of
the pump. If it’s not connected, the pump will run at
its maximum speed (100% PWM).

- 16 - - 17 -
CONNECTING THE D-RGB LIGHTS
D-RGB Header
RGB Header
Plug the 3-pin connector from the water block’s D-RGB
LED light to D-RGB HEADER on the motherboard. The
LEDs will work if the pin layout on the header is as follows:
+5V, Data, Empty, Ground.
Please, ensure that the arrow indicated 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 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 distribution plate.
Inspect all parts of the loop, and in case the coolant leaks,
fix the issue and repeat the testing process. Ensure that
all hardware is dry before the system is powered on, to
prevent any damage.
