Excuse me...mustard, ketchup cables????

Very swish.

Oh for crying out loud, bloody RGB's for pumps now!! This is getting ridiculous. They could have at least braided the cables instead of leaving them bare and looking cheap. You watch, radiators will be next.

Oh FFS, I only said it in jest as well. I hate all this RGB nonsense and it's getting harder to find anything decent (especially motherboards) that doesn't have it. I don't want a pc that looks like a tacky fairground arcade.

Looks gash.

"Of course, the LEDs can also be deactivated and their brightness adjusted."

I looked and it and that “Oh that’s aweso... Eh?” I wish they’d braid the cables instead of including rainbow chunder. It’s an omission that can make a quality product look cheap.

That said, I REALLY like it. So much so that I might actually buy it new for my upcoming build that should really be named ‘SkinFlint’ or something. I love the look, and I would re-sleeve the cable to Carbon anyway. Still madness they’re not sleeved.

Thanks for sharing OP.

Ooooh that's pretty clever! This would add several features I want without any extra devices/fittings/cabling.

I'm not a fan of RGB but wouldn't complain at the option of a selectable lighting element.

khemist · 6 Oct 2018 at 17:41

I think the cables will be sleeved, that's not a retail version is it?.

haszek · 6 Oct 2018 at 18:00

On the video they look sleeved, just not at the pump itself. So the photo might've caught only this bit.

Could prove popular in pre built custom systems.

New mounts announced also which look quite nice.

Got some sauce to go with that mate?

Looks great to me, not overdone and you can turn the lights off if you want. nice to see EK getting some competition in the 'popular' bits and bobs.

I'm sold....I need more RGB to pad out the deep dark depths of the Corsair 1000D!!

WantoN · 17 Oct 2018 at 00:54

I decided to stick with a DDC for this iteration of my rig. However, when I next get the urge to tinker, I think this’ll be the first item on my purchase list.

Imo the WC scene was getting a little stale, it just seemed to be new blocks and reservoirs all being RGB’d up. Some of the Phanteks kit (their new res in particular, bloody gorgeous!) and now this D5 NEXT is exactly the kind of innovation we need.

Awesome. I think that’s probably the nicest ‘really big’ case out there, it’s beautiful. That being said I could never imagine owning a case so large, I’m upgrading from mATX to ATX and even then I’m getting one of the smallest mid-towers available

Got any pics of your setup?

ubersonic · 17 Oct 2018 at 12:02

Meh, still prefer the D5 Varios, set and forget FTW

tipes · 17 Oct 2018 at 13:39

Very nice I am sure - but cost is rather too much I think. I would need two of them, plus the extra bits you need to make them work, around £450. Eeek.
