After the great reception of the EK-Pro Pump Reservoir Manifold X6 in the market, EK, the premium water-cooling gear manufacturer, is launching another pump-reservoir-manifold combo unit, the EK-Pro Pump Reservoir Manifold X3 D5 - Acetal. Just like its predecessor, the X6, the latest product also has a dedicated fill port, drain port with an optional QDC, and a small window for visually monitoring the coolant level.

EK-Pro Pump Reservoir Manifold X3 D5 - Acetal
This is a custom water-cooling reservoir, routing, and pump solution. It can act as a regular pump-reservoir combo, be used as a manifold, or practically as a distribution plate, even though its aesthetics vastly differ from most distro plates. The X3 in the name designates the number of components it can directly connect as a manifold, and D5 indicates a single D5 pump pushing the liquid around the loop. It can be mounted to the case in many different ways. EK-Pro Pump Reservoir Manifold X3 D5 has M4 screw threads on the side opposite the ports and on the backside, allowing for plenty of mounting options, multiplied by the bracket with 120 mm fan mounting hole spacing (105 mm).
