Build Help Build Help - DDC Pump Top + Reservoir not compatible please help

nitrousx123 · 18 Mar 2017 at 16:59

Hi overclockers UK I just recently purchased the Bitspower Magic Cube POM that I thought I could fit between my EK DDC & 250mm Z-Tube. EK-DDC and Magic Cube POM fit fine. But the final piece Z-Tube overlaps the fittings by 2mm and I think its made for D5 Laing. A big oversight that I missed =(.

I have two options return the BP Magic Cube or buy another reservoir. I'm opting for the second option but I need help in finding the compatible reservoir to fit my DDC Top, please help thanks

Can you not use a male to male g1/4 adaptor to fit the res to the pump top or is there some other issue?

Z tube is a standalone reservoir, it is not made for a specific pump type.

Can you post a picture of the problem as i don't understand the issue ?

DDC pump connects to the Magic cube top ( which you have done ) then you run a piece of tubing from the bottom of the res to pump top inlet ( or a male to male adpator as Bito said above )

Here's a picture of the Z-Tube of the magic cube if you can see it sorry the bad photo but it's off centre see here http://i.imgur.com/cn1G9VH.jpg. Then here's a pic of the res on top of the Bitspower Pom http://i.imgur.com/NWzW6VI.jpg

I currently have no male to male g1 fittings currently. I would like really would like to make it flush. But like i said i don't mind sending back the Z-Tube if i have just need to know what would be a better fit for the Bitspower magic cube pom please.

It does look like you have bought the D5 add-on rather than the one for the DDC Magic Cube, the BP-DDCRAP-BK is for the DDC and Z-Tube. Look for the Bitspower DDC Upgrade Kit 250.

Oh thanks so with the BP-DDCRAP-BK i can use both ther z-tube and my magic cube then?

That is the DDC Reservoir adaptor for use with the DDC tops from Bitspower. Alternatively, return the D5 adaptor/Z tube for the correct DDC version, the "Bitspower DDC Upgrade Kit 250"

Yeah I'll return the D5 and get the Bitspower DDC upgrade instead be cheaper too. Thank you for your help much appreciated =)
