Hi guys finally found a full cover block for my gpu so, full loop is a go!!
I have picked the Alphacool Eisbecher Helix 250mm reservoir and I am unsure which D5 set up will work with it? a lot of pump combos i have seen, the res seems to screw into the pump but this one doesnt look to do do, Would the only way to use this is res - tubing - pump?? if so can someone link me to the one i would need on overlockers shop?

Many Thanks
 
Yes that item is a stand alone reservoir. You would need to buy a pump and have a tubing / fitting run from the res to the pump.

It will just be your normal G 1/4" going into the pump and one of the outport's on the reservoir. So just need to pick your tubing and pick up a pair of fittings accordingly, or just buy something that ends in male end's on both side's like https://www.overclockers.co.uk/bitspower-dual-g1-4-high-flow-fitting-black-sparkle-wc-156-bp.html (as an example)
 
Yes it would work. I have however not used that pump specifically so can't comment on its quality, having stuck to the tried and trusted DDC and D5 pumps. I would say if you can spare a bit more cash and the build your doing is fine on space to opt for the D5 by EK: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ek-water-blocks-ek-xtop-revo-d5-pwm-plexi-incl.-pump-wc-884-ek.html Much higher flow rate and pressure then pump you choose and will be able to scale up and down for a majority of loop size's without any issue's. Not to mention the D5 is very quiet.
