Good day all,
I have been building computers since the 12Mhz (turbo) 286 days but I have never water cooled for various reasons.
In any case I am now preparing to water cool my first cpu/graphic card namely a 3050X and 2070 Super in my Lian Li 011-XL. All components are new.
I purchased a EK Quantum Kinetic 200 TBE D5 pump/res combo from Daz. However, in receiving the unit I now note that according to instructions it is supposed to be mounted to the case. I do not have the room and was hoping to mount it to the side radiator/fan using a bracket.
In viewing the brackets on Daz's site and in particular the Darkside brackets, they do not show the bolt pattern and I am not even certain that this is even an option.
Can anyone advise if a bracket is an option and if so, which one?
Also, I found a curiosity in the instructions from EK which state that the top ports are not intended to be used as inlet ports. My impression from Daz's review of this pump/res combo was that it could be used for this purpose and that in general he prefers to use a top inlet for intake. Any assistance on this would also be helpful.
Thanks.
