Small D5 res

[qbazdz]

Hi all,

I've been trying to locate brand and models of the various small reservoir's suitable for use with D5s and came across EK FLT 120.

Would you happen to know if there is anything else out there that is similar in size, maybe even smaller?

Thanks

Alphacool, barrow and byksi do a 120mm version similar in size.

If it's not for aesthetics but for space you might want consider a t block type fitting plus a quick disconnect/ball valve prior to inlet solution might work for you.

Its definitely not asthethics, the whole pump assy will be squirreled away in the back of the Air Mini where HDD cage is. Not a great deal of space there.

Don't EK do an FLT80? I believe i have seen them floating about but not sure if it uses a D5 or DDC.

Another alternative, mod the case and fir the FLT on the back fan near the CPU.. like my old build

@im4gine3 that is a neat option, but I need to double check if I have the space at the back for the pump to stick out (I think that is possible).

BTW. what case was this, the riser cable allowed mounting GPU to the side of the case?
How did you do maintenance on the res like this with re-fill and drain?

Lian Li O11D Mini - non air version

I had to cut out the fan grill to allow the pump to stick out of.

I used a 75cm gen4 riser cable to loop from the socket to the side and used a custom bracket to mount the GPU.

Must admit, not much maintenance is needed.. typically you would drain and refill every 6months or so but as long as you look after it, shouldn't need to. I've never had the need to since i had the build for around 3-4 years... but filling it was a pain. Lucky the case was small so i just had to lay it on it's side and fill up (mainly because i had the pump mounted sideways)
