I got the email today to say the distro is ready to be sent!!

Damn thats nice!! Sooo tempting to get one, can't wait to see you build this into your rig! Have you worked out your lines and routes now? Should be pretty straight forward with this with some 90 degree angled fittings and some extensions where needed.

I think I know, but will need to double check.

I have a fitting for every hole and then a load of 90s, 45s and S's. I'll find out tomorrow if I have enough. I've got dialysis this evening so will start building it tomorrow.

I think this is right.

That looks about right i think, the good thing about these is you no longer need a reservoir/pump as the distro acts an all in one. Perfect solution!

Just a note, make sure you check all the screws on that distro block is tight before fitting it. I had a few bad experiences where EK had not tightened all the screws and caused a leak over time. Wasn't straight away so i thought all was okay.

I only recently became aware of them as I was planning the system. I knew about the Phanteks rear distro, but they only come in 140mm and I didn't really want a case that big. Then I noticed that Lian Li were making a distro and pump with EKWB and decided to wait for that to come out today.

Thanks for the tip, I will be sure to check and tighten if needed.

Ok so this is a rough guide to see how it should go.
I'm not totally happy with the CPU fittings, it's not the most elegant of solutions. It might be better if it's possible to go from the left CPU to top GPU?

Have you got a dead on side view of this? Just wanna see where the distro fittings are in relation to where your inlet and outlet ports are on your blocks.

The CPU fittings are not level so will have to be sorted out.

The radiators fittings all match up though.

Ok I think I've created a better way of doing the CPU. It looks level to me.

The bottom radiator isn't screwed in yet, as once that's in I can't access the wires that need to go at the bottom.

That looks a lot better and cleaner. The straighter the lines the cleaner it will be. Have you started the build yet? Hope you managed to have some time this xmas to build it up.

How thick is your bottom rad btw?

Almost finished, just struggling with the tightest corner piece from the upper rad to the distro.

The rad is 38mm.

Is it a tight right hand bend? Pics?

Thanks mate, tempted to try a 20.5 TX 360 at the bottom by shifting the vert mount up 1 slot. Need to do some measuring first though haha.

Actually it's the bottom one not the top. Yep a 90 degree bend. The problem is there's not much give to put in place, a longer piece is easier to do.

It's not perfect by any means, but I'm getting there.
