In nearly 20 years of water cooling this is only the second pump that has failed on me. These things have even lasted me for multiple computers, 3-5 years 24/7 use. I had a really annoying clicky grind sound that came and went for about a week, then finally, it got REALLY loud, and the pump just flat-out died mid-game. Counter strike FPS went from 250-300 to 30. lol I knew exxatly what it was and powered down., Two days later, the new pump arrived, and I got it installed. The new ones are SATA instead of Molex, which at first was annoying because I didn't have an extra handy, but long term, this was a smart idea. I only had Molex in my system for LED and the pump. These are high-quality pumps with amazing performance. I think you could use them in a small pool. Review: works as advertised - For those who need the Ek water block this works. This is my second one the last one lasted about 2 years which i feel should have been longer. Pros: Moves the water nicely Cons: Could move it slightly faster, Durability and last con is sometimes this is hard to find. If you need this block its an easy flow to grab just dont get flushed away. ## Features - EK Loop D5 G3 PWM Motor is a genuine high performance D5 water pump with PWM speed control via the motherboard or a dedicated fan/pump controller - Enhanced variant of the world renown, original Xylem D5 PWM pump which features an improved PWM control driver - PWM control allows for automatic pump speed regulation depending on your CPU temperature - Equipped with an electronically commutated spherical motor which is held in place by a bearing ball made of ultra hard and wear resistant ceramic. - Maximum flow: 1500L/h ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B098FCJMGL | | Best Sellers Rank | #815 in Water Cooling Systems | | Brand | EK | | Brand Name | EK | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Cooling Method | Water | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 75 Reviews | | Item Weight | 0.3 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | EK Water Blocks | | Material Type | Polycarbonate | | Maximum Rotational Speed | 1500 RPM | | Noise Level | 25 Decibels | | Power Connector Type | 4-Pin | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 12 Volts (DC) | | Warranty Description | One year manufacturer | | Wattage | 23 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** EK - **Power Connector Type:** 4-Pin - **Voltage:** 12 Volts (DC) - **Wattage:** 23 watts - **Cooling Method:** Water - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop - **Noise Level:** 25 Decibels - **Material:** Polycarbonate - **Maximum Rotational Speed:** 1500 RPM - **Manufacturer:** EK Water Blocks ## Images ![Water Blocks EK-D5 PWM G3 Motor - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51FKlZ7dRpL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Had to replace my failing d5 g3 pvm pump so .. this was a no brainer! *by R***S on August 8, 2024* Unfortunately after 3 years my g2 pump has failed.

If you need this block its an easy flow to grab just dont get flushed away. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A D5 pump *by E***A on November 22, 2023* I have both the EKWB EK-Loop D5 G3 PWM and the PrimoChill Enhanced PWM D5. The EKWB is a bare pump only. No mounting hardware whatever is provided, not even an o-ring. What a cheap-out. The PrimoChill at least provides a quality o-ring. The EKWB seems to produces reasonable output maybe a couple of L/H less than the PrimoChill but not sure as I have different pump tops on them both and pump tops matter a lot (Bykski D5 Pump Top Kit Version 2 is good). The EWKB has a faint whine so not as quiet as the PrimoChill. On both, the PWM cable provides the tach-out and PWM-in signals but neither provide the ground signal reference which again is a cheap-out. Ridiculous to reduce cost by removing one whole wire -- especially considering the overall pricing. The EKWB is powered is by a SATA connection that you may like. I do not, I prefer Molex. The EKWB is less expensive than the PrimoChill version but I have both and prefer the quieter PrimoChill pump (better build quality too). I have had many D5 pumps work for over 10 years with never a failure. So a small difference in price is irrelevant in the long run. Get either one (PrimoChill or EKWB), all of the many D5 pump brands I have used have worked out well. The cheaper non-D5 pumps on offer are much noisier, have less output (that matters a lot) and not as durable. Avoid those, they are a waste of money. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/351521758-water-blocks-ek-d5-pwm-g3-motor](https://www.desertcart.us/products/351521758-water-blocks-ek-d5-pwm-g3-motor) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
