I don't know why they say it's not compatible with 360mm radiators. I have the EK-Quantum Surface P360M with the EK-Quantum Reflection² PC-O11D EVO XL, and it fits quite well. All the mounting screws go in correctly, even the only one where I had to make a modification was the vertical radiator, where two holes didn't match. But nothing that can't be solved with a round file; the screws fit perfectly on both the upper and lower radiators. That's why I still don't understand why EKWB says they are not compatible.
Were you able to use the push in fittings or did you use tubing to connect the rads to the distro and did you use offsets? I think they are speaking with regards to 360 rads in conjunction with that distro not being compatible. I could be wrong.
I have just built a new PC in this chassi and i use this distroplate... BUT! i have one 420 radiator in the top and two 360 radiators in the bottom and side, very smal mod to get that work ! The only thing i can say is a 420 radiator in the bottom would look nice just to fill out the space but i had the 360s and did not want to spend the money to just buy 2 more 420, A build like this is not Cheap :D
Very nice distro. I already have the original O11D XL and Reflection2 distro for that, but when upgrade time comes around (5090 launch) I will make that case my secondary PC and get an Evo XL for my main build with this distro.
Top and bottom 360mm not possible? wow thanks i have ordert 3 360mm radiators and 9 Fans for exactly this case and distro plate... Money well wasted... would be nice if something like this would be noted in the product description...
did you read the description ? "The Top and Bottom radiator positions are incompatible with 360mm radiators due to O11D EVO XL’s asymmetric mounting pattern." I mean IT IS in product description
Looks awesome, tried getting my Z790 GODLIKE MAX to work with it but the offset from Distro plate to Velocity2 CPU block is larger than 7mm, in standard MOBO mounting position. Can't stack 2x 7mm on the Distro Out side as one blocks the other. Any advice? Made a Reddit post about it on /r EKWB too.
Can only secure left side of distro plate to case. Right side does not align with front panel opening and droops creating gap at top. Looks terrible. I expected a much better fit for $450 + tax cost.
Distro plate is too wide for the front panel opening. There is no way to secure right side of distro plate to case body allows distro plate to swing like saloon door.
Radiator on the side in front of fans doesn’t help with looks, would be so much nicer if it could be mounted behind fans. Build like this is very expensive, just to get worse look than what people usually make with watercooling components
I'm making this build and this is bugging me as well. I think there's a way to put fan in front but you would need like 3 different spacers (times 2) because the offset needed is not a 7 increment. Not ideal but you could make it work
There are 2 ways to do it. Either use an S420 in which case you only need the right extenders to get it to work. Or you have to do what I'm doing with a p420. Run the right most port direct to the distro, the left has to be run back towards the motherboard and down a little. You'll also need a micro 90 and a 28mm offset off the second port of the distro. Connect these however you want but that's the only way I've figured out to do it. Plus side, that side rad can run push-pull comfortably this way. Mine is an x420 and 2 p420's.
Shocked that I clicked the link and it didn't say "discontinued" already.
You mean…”End of Life” 😂

Looks really awesome. Looking forward to a EK "waterbox" combo in the future.
I am totally fond of all the EK products.

currently doing a white and gold version of this build, it will look so good !

@@MrRealZack Yes now it is, but not at the time i orderd the parts
just waiting on the phanteks nv9 release of this, would be perfect for the case release.
EK, will you all be making a distro plate for the new O11 evo rgb case ? mid tower.

Can it fit push and pull fans
Does the side radiator have tubes to the distro?? or how does it connect to the loop?
Yes it's tubes. Ek also have a video building with this distro.
It would be nice if there were distro plates for other pc cases (like nzxt h7 flow) not just the lian li o11.
It’s compatible in reverse mode MB installation ?
how is the back radiator mounted? You never clarified that.

RTFM, they specifially say to not transport it mounted in the case without the rads
❤❤❤
What does he mean by it won't work with 360mm radiators, the ports won't line up?
No they don't line up, the mounting holes for 360's are staggered top and bottom.
"incompatible with p360"
Me: nah I still do it anyway.
It does work, you just need a reasonably tight bend and some offset fittings.
would be better with 2 water cycles, one for cpu and one for gpu! i still wait for a distribution plate for this case with 2 cycles!!!
the difference in temperature is minuscule.
@@ruuusssellyes but better to over-engineer everything to make feel better about yourself
Radikult makes a twin system for this case.
@@milanstojiljkovic135 Also makes it easier for maintenance.

It seems it's just me for some reason but these watercooling builds lately with so many straight lines runs look horrendous .

this is the worst possible case of all for a front distro plate. Ruins the entire fishbowl look, I'd sooner pick any other case for it

I mean it's nice, but it's not unthinkable. Unthinkable would be if you made an air cooler. Just sayin'
