Ddc pump tops ( need some advise )

[toolking]

hi all im looking to upgrade my ddc pump that came with the darkside hard tube kit. the plan is to use the bits power bottom/heat sink and the ekwb clear top (links below). question is before i commit to buy will these 2 parts work with pump that came in the kit ? and will the 2 parts work together?

I'm rather positive that screws different on all 3

any suggestions daz mostly looking for the clear top. looking at pulling the trigger on what works for the pump i have

I'm afraid you only can reuse pump from the kit.

[toolking]

so in order to use the ekwb ddc pump top i need to purchase a new pump ?

[toolking]

the pump i own now from the kit is the DDC 3.25 Pump Combo if i remove the tube reservoir pump topper and replace it with the ekwb ddc pump top it will not work ?

Bitspower pump tops work with the Bitspower heatsink or the standard plastic housing, okay, follow me here,
the standard plastic housing can also be used for the EK pump top, ergo, they have the same screw slots.

I have an EK ddc heatsink on my xspc res/pump combo and that was my reasoning there as well. The screws that came with mine worked, but I may have been lucky. Make sure you use ones the proper length.

So i believe they will work together with your current pump. Don't forget to get a new reservoir though.

thanks for the info plan is to eliminate the tube rez and go with a flat design of my own

Your DDC 3.25 pump that came with Daz's kit will work with any DDC pump top. and so will the Bitspower heat sink. Howerver if you change the top to EK or BP then the tube res you got with the kit will not work with those tops.
Yes the EK top and the Bitspower heat sink will work fine together. I usually go for the EK heat sink though because I like the vibration mounting kit that it comes with. You can buy it separately as well

thanks @Hooded i think i will order up the ek bottom. but yea i'm going to ditch the tube topper and go with a flat rez i have a design i'm working on that i'm really excited to see the outcome of.but for now you can see in the second picture how the tube rez is blocking the flat rez in the back it bothers the crap out me im thinking flat top will help with the looks.

[toolking]

daz do you or have you ever sold the EK heatsink bottoms for the dcc pumps ?

[Hooded]

Yeah that flat res looks great. Built into the case is awesome.

Or if your not in a rush you can try the stock wish list here.
I'm surprized he has none in stock.
