Know before you buy
Yes, you will need to drain your loop for the initial installation of the quick disconnects. Once installed, however, you can remove or service your CPU block in the future without draining the rest of your system.
The EK-Pro CPU Quick Disconnect Kit is specifically engineered for the EK-Pro line. Please verify your specific CPU block model's compatibility before purchase, as it is designed to integrate seamlessly with EK Pro-Manifolds.
The kit provides the necessary quick-disconnect components to transform your CPU block assembly. Depending on your specific loop configuration, you may need additional fittings or tubing to complete the integration with your existing setup.
Standard fittings require you to drain the loop every time you need to access the CPU or motherboard. This kit is designed for professional workstations where minimizing downtime is critical, allowing for rapid component swaps without the mess or time associated with a full system drain.
No, the EK-Pro CPU Quick Disconnect Kit does not include RGB lighting. It is designed as a functional, industrial-grade component focused on reliability and maintenance efficiency.
