thats just the bay res right? the price doesn't include the pump

Yeah, just the bayres. If with pump I think that one can consider fire sale and would have been an immediate grab. laugh.gif

Does anyone have any experience with XSPC Photon with pump combo? I really like it but I already have a pump. I don't think they sell it without the pump. :/
*
Photon is sold with or without pump. Your pick. I can get you the Photon without pump if you're interested. Local stock so no overkill shipping charges. laugh.gif

But Photon without the pump has a different base right?

Without pump.

Yeah definitely will require a different base. Well, I guess if you wait long enough XSPC should wise up and allow for people to buy without a pump or buy an adapter kit. laugh.gif

Just wondering for beginner, which kit should I go for? Can't find kit pricing in forum, usually they sell parts sad.gif Hoping to find a basic set.

Depends what you're looking for. Basic kits start as low as 489 (Swiftech H220) and 499 (XSPC Raystorm 750V4 EX240).

I'm sure you remember that I went all out with my pump. Don't want to have to change it after a year.
I honestly hope they allow people to buy without a pump.
*
Of course I remember. haha. Good to know your 'uber' pump is still working fine. Yeah, they should. Otherwise it's a complete waste.

Or maybe, buy the res pump and sell the pump. thumbup.gif

Sounds more reasonable. But H220 is black tube right? Looking for those transparent tube
*
You can always swap out the tube for the H220, no problem. The XSPC stock tube isn't that great to begin with, just so you know.

Swiftech
Install and go, factory assembled
Uses coolant, prefilled
Excellent pump
Pump + CPU Block, Radiator/"Reservoir" setup = Saves more space than XSPC, you don't need a 5.25" bay.

XSPC
DIY Installation
You'll need to buy distilled water or coolant to use
The pump isn't too bad, but isn't great either
CPU block, Pump + Res, Radiator setup, you'll need a 5.25" bay for the res.

I'd go for the XSPC though. It's less of a kit when you have to install and fill up the loop yourself.
*
If that were the case, then the H220 can be considered an AIO and the XSPC a starter kit. haha

QUOTE(Lucassss @ Nov 1 2013, 12:07 AM)
I'd be furious if it wasn't. I'll lose some money if I do that.  cry.gif

Actually maybe not. Depends how you look at it I guess.

Thanks for the info, I prefer a starter kit because I want to try build and assemble. If for AIO, I might just as well go for corsair one.

I do prefer having a reservoir block, 5.25 isnt a problem, I got like 4 empty on my CM690 and I think the XSPC one I can refill the liquid while swiftech one I cant.

What I'm looking for is a decent kit which will looks nice(so transparent tube thing is the way to go) and affordable price with decent performance. It seems the XSPC one will be great.
*
Then that's a good enough reason to go for the XSPC one. But if your budget permits, consider the D5 version of the res pump combo. It's a long term thing. wink.gif

The swiftech radiator has a fill port which allows you to fill it up with whatever your heart desires. tongue.gif

Do keep in mind that the XSPC will not mount like what you see in the photos. Raystorm for AMD mount looks like this:

I saw there are some which use glass tubing? They bent it themselves or there are ready made glass tubing which I can just fix them up like lego.

Usually DIY bending though you could probably pay people to do it for you.

Hoho bro, I'd advice that you stay far far away from them as you're still a beginner and under a budget.

You won't believe how much acrylic tubing you'll waste trying to get a perfect bend. Fittings for acrylic tubing ain't cheap either.  brows.gif

It's not hard if you've got the right tools, patience and understanding of the process. thumbup.gif

Is it possible to use 2 inlets and 1 outlet on a single D5 pump?
1 inlet from the reservoir and another from the loop.
*
I don't see why not. But you might get some weird flow and possibly bubbles in your pump if the flow isn't constant.

I'm doing the same for my pump, but both from reservoir.

QUOTE(Lucassss @ Nov 7 2013, 04:31 PM)
Can you explain a little more about bubbles in the pump? How does this compare to single inlet in terms of bleeding the loop?
*
When you use two inlets, the water flows from two different sources. Coz of this, if the water flow is too different when they meet, you might just get bubbles. Also, if the water flow from one source is rather inconsistent or stuck or something, there'll be an air gap within the pump top unless the other source compensates and fills the pocket.

But that's theoretical. You gotta try it for yourself and see. But it'll work. Just make sure there's water for both inlets. When you fill and bleed.

One of the inlets will be coming from my reservoir and another returning from the loop. Do you foresee and issues with it?
*
It's possible, coz one side the water will flow slower than the other. Why not use a tblock?

Then again, you should give it a shot and see if it works for you. I might be wrong. laugh.gif

QUOTE(sasaug @ Nov 7 2013, 06:50 PM)
I wonder where you guys place cylinder reservoir normally? I'm using Phantom 530 and my card is too long, which almost hits the HDD bay.

I can only think of removing the HDD bay but I have 3 HDD, so I cant get too long cylinder as well sad.gif

Ah. Then maybe consider Swiftech MCRes? If you want small reservoir, smallest one available locally (both in terms of diameter and height) is Primochill CTR.

QUOTE(Lucassss @ Nov 7 2013, 07:40 PM)
I only have about 150mm of room for my reservoir and pump combo. I'm trying my best to reduce unnecessary height.

BTW, you do sell Bitspower BP-DSRAP-BK?
*
Oh. Well, just go ahead and do the dual inlet thing and see if it works out for you. Sometimes theory doesn't work out in real life. laugh.gif

Sadly, nope. Don't have that part.

Tried looking on taobao or hardware stores that sell the custom oring kit? They used to sell the oring material with the glue so you can make your own orings.
