What the loop needs

The block has two G1/4 connections. Both take the compression fittings for your tube size, which are not in the box. The power connection of the Digital RGB lighting is the usual 3-pin 5V connector. Its outgoing cable has an integrated Y-adapter, so several Aurora products can be connected together without special cables. The manual lists a Digital RGB adapter cable with this block for the motherboards that need one. A digital RGB controller is not included, and the manual names the Eiscontrol Addressable RGB Controller for running the LEDs without the mainboard. To run, the block needs a pump and a radiator in the same loop, and the coolant has to stay under the maximum working temperature of 60 °C.
