Help with watercooling setup!

It would be much easier using a XSPC Acrylic Dual 5.25" Reservoir for Laing D5 for routing your watercooling loop since it sits in the 5.25" bays with your pump.

Do you have your case with you atm?

If so, take a picture of the internals then in paint just draw in where you think each component would go

sunjoo2012 · 31 Oct 2010 at 12:39

yup that ^^^ would be much quicker and easier

Lay it out like this using the pump/bay res i linked you to?

Edit:Re sized image.

here you go: this is what i have at the mo but WITHOUT all of the watercooling gear, this is wear i will mount all of the w/c stuff

but not sure where to route tubes but i will figure it out

Off the top off my head i can't think of any, you could possibly ask TheCenturion for his opinion since he owns the exact same bay res.

i am currently looking at pump/res all in ones and have a question

do i need to take apart a pump to install into the bay res or does it come with one pre-installed, also how hard would this be because i have noticed this on ocuk: XSPC Dual 750 Bay Reservoir & Pump - Clear that has a pump built into the bay/res and seems more of a plug and play component? any ideas on this?

Use compression fittings easier to use. look better, just as safe as barbs + clips. if there good enough for rjkoneill there good enough for use. I use a XSPC Res/Pump 750 in my loop no probs at all, use distilled water + silver coil, See Sig.

I would suggest you to change pump D5 vario is noisy,save some money and buy swiftech mcp350 plus custom top.same performace for less money.
Also is takes less place.

thanks
