looking very nice.. almost makes me want to bust out the dremel on my lian-li, but unfortunately, I've got very shaky hands and cannot cut smooth to save my life
got me into open boxing for newegg btw, grabbed myself a dfi x48 to play with a week ago and it arrived like it hadn't been opened (or knowing dfi, some kid installed it, opened the bios and got horriblly confused and just boxed it back up rofl)

OK CP here are a few picts of my idea..
![]() Im mountng the hoses on the back side of the mobo tray ![]() Koolance has these beautiful fittings (brass) The Tee is where I will fill the system, just imagine laying the comp on its side and the T will be the highest point on the loop so it will be easy to fill. Here is a shot of the pump and Koolance top. ![]() I am really against acrylic in tops (they all have cracks) and parts under stress but Koolance really did a sweet job by installing brass inserts for the threads here ![]() You cant see it but I made an alum bracket that supports the pump to the mobo mount, it also hides the pump wres.

thanks bro, thats a nice idea, and great way to run the tubing.
Let me ask you, how is the pump mounted? It looks like its hanging over the CPU. |

First its connected to the Block with this
http://www.koolance.com/water-coolin...product_id=633 Than I made an alum support/tray ![]() ![]() ![]() It attaches through the CPU block by a screw from the back side of the mobo.

Thanks.. after doing Steevos case trying to simplify the water cooling loop seemed like a good idea. The Liang DDC pump is MUCH smaller than the D5s, so hiding it in plain site was easy.
Tomorrow my hose shows up and I will start with the CarbonFiber mobo tray.

Compact, lots of pressure/flow/practically no noise its a win/win.
Add an aftermarket top and they are even better. (like Petras, just they were out of stock so I went with the Koolance) http://martinsliquidlab.petrastech.c...opTesting.html

One thing I noticed was the Koolance top had a very small ID for the exhaust port. I opened it up 2 sizes to 5/16 but it is VERY close to the mounting screws so I go with the Petras one.

^^^ hey guys thanks for this. I really never looked at pumps and reservoirs into detail. With the right parts, it can really simplify a loop :Toast:
