Know before you buy
No, this distro plate is designed exclusively for the Hyte Y60 case. It is engineered to replace the front glass panel specifically, so it will not fit other chassis models.
The pump is controlled via a standard 4-pin PWM header on your motherboard, allowing you to manage speeds directly through your BIOS or fan control software. No proprietary controller is required for the pump's operation.
The 11 addressable LEDs use a standard 3-pin 5V aRGB connector. You can plug this directly into your motherboard’s aRGB header and manage the lighting effects using your motherboard's native software.
The distro plate is rated for a maximum working temperature of 60 °C. It is important to ensure your loop stays below this threshold to maintain the integrity of the acrylic and seals.
Installation is straightforward as the plate is designed to mount using the original screws from the Y60 front glass panel. However, since this is a custom water cooling component, you should be comfortable with loop planning, tubing, and leak testing before beginning.
Yes, the D5 Apex pump is integrated directly into the unit. You will not need to purchase or install a separate pump, making the assembly process more efficient.
