EKWB Res Help

Hi Guys/Girls

I'm wanting to buy the new RGB EKWB Res.

I've already got a D5 pump so don't need another but it seems that EK don't do a separate "bracket" to allow you to add on a D5 pump to the larger xres.

If there is a bracket then if someone can link me to it as I'm obviously blind.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x EK Water Blocks EK-RES X3 250 RGB Reservoir= £56.99
1 x EK Water Blocks EK-XRES 140 Revo D5 RGB PWM (incl. pump)= £139.99

Total: £206.88
(includes shipping: £9.90)

The larger one is designed as a standalone res.
As I understand it, if you want a bigger res atop the Revo, you'd just buy a longer tube, unscrew the existing one and screw the new one in.

would just get the res and mount pump near by and route it nicely

I don't want a standalone pump as I feel the all in one looks cleaner

Yeah I know you can get the longer tubes but unfortunately they only do the xres with a pump included which is a pain

What, these things?

If you mean the base block, then those do appear to be end of life and no longer available.
Might be 2nd hand only...

I'm sure if you wait a while longer EK will come out with an RGB combo unit.

Then as mentioned, they're old kit and no longer stocked, generally.
