Hi All, Hopefully you can help I’ve recently decided to join you all on the water-cooling side for my new build, been new I decided to try and get the best for each part but I’ve made a few mistakes I think, the first one got the wrong side radiator from blackice way too big for my rig, the second I’m not too sure about so I’ve come here to find out, I’ve just got 2 OcUK Tech Lab - D5 Vario Pump & EK D5 X-Top V2 Value Combo Units to go with a Koolance RP-452X2 Dual 5.25" Reservoir for 1 or 2 D5 Pumps Rev 1.2 but how do they go together it looks like the pump goes in the Reservoir, but not sure as my pumps don’t look like they will connect to it, Koolance say I need the D5 Vario Pump but do I need it without the TOP not sure? Talk to Overclockers Tec already he said if I talk to you guys first and if I have made a mistake then I can send it back to get it without the top but said it was best to ask you first. :confused:

Many Thanks in advance.
 
Cheers guys! can you recomend a radiator btw as I've sent my Hardware Labs Black ICE Radiator SR1 560 back for being to big is black ice the best make? and what fans should I be looking at for it?

Many Thanks again!
 
The Case is Level 10 LRS

CPU : i7 3960x 3.3ghz 15mb with Koolance CPU 370 CPU Waterblock
Board : Rampage IV
Mem : G.Skill RipJaw 32GB DDR3
GFX : EVGA GeForce GTX 680 with a Classified Cooling Block
 
Yer just CPU and Graphics, atm wanted to do the board but not 100% confident on doing it as it says u got to move a resistor or something to fit it! Was thinking maybe memory at some point so wanted one capable for upgrading.
 
cheers think I'll get it exchanged for the 320, Just need to give OC a call on tuesday or monday if there open to get the pumps exchanged and think im set! just hope it all works out ok with it been my first time!
