Any way to mount a tube reservoir to a pump

Overclockover9000 · Dec 8, 2013

I want to know if I can mount to attatch a tube reservoir (like the Alphacool Cape Corp ) to a pump like the swiftech mcp655 (or another D5 pump) without completely blowing my budget by getting a combination like the XSPC D5 Photon Combo or the EK-D5 Vario X-RES 140 (incl. pump). I will need to fit the res/pump combo in a m-itx enclosure so it needs to be pretty small, but able to cool a slightly overclocked 4770k and a GTX 780 with ease.

My personal recommendation is to use a male to male adapter like this:

Basically you connect it to the bottom of the reservoir and I used the EK X-TOP and directly connected the two.

Another option is to mount the pump and reservoir together: http://www.ekwb.com/shop/reservoirs-and-acc/res-pump-combo/ek-d5.html

Nuclear101 :

I just saw that res/pump attachment before your answer but I am not a fan of having square edges ( I like the design of the xspc D5 Photon combo). If I have to keep that look is there any way of getting a pump top that attaches to a reservoir and a pump for cheaper. For example, if I used a Bitspower 150mm upgrade like this with a pump and a bitspower pump top. Also would you recommend any cpu blocks for lga 1150/1155 for ~ $60, because i heared that the xspc raystorm dosent perform well.

Update: I also found this combo of getting a Koolance pmp-300 pump with a pump top (link here) for the pmp 300 that attaches a seperate reservior (here) for only $77 for the pump, pump top, reservoir, and reservoir cap. In the end it will look like this, which isn't my exact liking, but will do. The only problem is the pumps specs, because I don't know if it will be able to push water through my whole loop. (includes a gtx 780, 4770k, and a 240mm alphacool nexxos xt45) I am also pretty sure the pump top is only designed for the pmp 300, so I don't think I will be able to replace it for another pump.

I think the bitspower pump mod top upgrade kit is your only choice. There are no good CPU blocks under 70 USD. I own an EK Supremacy Clean Acetal+Nickel thats ~77 USD: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/19630/ex-blc-1445/EK_Supremacy_Universal_CPU_Liquid_Cooling_Block_-_Clean_Acetal_Nickel_EK-Supremacy_Clean_CSQ_-_AcetalNickel.html?tl=c603s1908b133&id=pjkqcr6P&mv_pc=17159
