New Darkside D5 Tops

[DazMode]

I'm thinking to make 3D printed plastic shim to improve clearance, but it may take a while as I just trying to learn all this thing.

Meanwhile, all who have problems I can provide with universal 120mm bracket. See picture below to see if that fit your config. Request trough RMA.

I actually bought that mount thinking I would be able to mount it on my case but because I have very limited space and fitting it on a CF rad I wasnt able to fit it. Question is there a very low profile stop plug available that I can put on the top inlet that wouldnt bulk up. Im currently using the darkside stop plug and it adds a bit of height to it. Also will a locking mechanism like this work? https://www.dazmode.com/store/produc...it_-_red_ver2/ to reduce the diameter of the pump

1499 or C9 stop plugs.

Most likely you have air bubble in pump, so impeller cannot rotate smoothly.

It pretty much the vibration since its sitting on the bottom of the case , whenever I lift it there wont be any noise. Anyway, Im switching to EK D5 top plexi, Its been 2 weeks and the vibration noise bothers me so much that I really have to ditch it. Hope you find a mounting solution for it.

Switching tops won't cure noise issue as top has nothing to do with that, unless pump grinding on it.

That was my opinion as well.
Try a more solid mount with some foam between mount and case.
I save all the foam/rubber from the center of my rad gaskets for just such a purpose.

In my case it does since im using NZXT Manta and have a very limited space on the bottom compartment. If i tried to mount it horizontally with the darkside mount its a very tight fit and the ring lock is squeezed by the power supply shroud. If i mount it vertically which im doing right now the bottom is resting on the case cause the vibration while the top is hitting the shroud. The only reason im switching to ek top is because its more compact and low profile than the d5 top which will give me more room for mounting option.

I tried all the foam,rubber and antivibration pad. It barely work in my case since the pump itself is being sandwich by 2 metal plate.


To give you guys a better look on how its mounted atm

Two solutions are incoming for putting those nice tops back to store:
1. With help of my customer and friend Mike a 3D model was created to address clearance issue with stock Laing retention ring:



2. Barrow multi-colored D5 Dressing kits (similar to Bitspower) are incoming. That have slim ring and no clearance problem as is.

Woohoo! Finally an alternative to those expensive (albeit very nice) Bitspower dressing kits! Any idea what the pricing on the Barrow kits will be like Daz?

We will see in person first. Can't say price till all import expenses are paid, but obviously less than BP

Great bit of news indeed

ohhhhhhh interesting
