Hey guys, Thanks for your comments 'cause at times I'm thinking that some of this content is not all that interesting

Made a bracket that will be attached to 3 of the floor fan mounting screws. The plate that the pump will sit on attaches to this bracket. Any material that is not needed to hold the pump will be removed so as not to block air flow from the fan.








Disconnected the feed and return lines of the video card. The line from the memory block now goes right back to the 450ml reservoir.





Without the GPU block and the 120mm rad in the loop, the flow went from 150L/hr to about 175L/h with the D5 Vario set to 5. Using the onboard video while the video card is down.




Reworked the line from the rad to the 150ml reservoir. Went with the two 45 degree fittings in order to miss a plate that would have been in the way of a 90. And I didn't want that 45 degree compression rotary left laying around. The 'T' is for a temp sensor.





I think that 17mm is about the minimum length of tubing that you can fit between two fittings.




Was going to order a DDC pump and EK top, and then this guy shows up at the Dazmode store.





And then the very next day it showed up here. Thanks Daz




Had to go with it because it has the perfect dimensions if it is screwed to the plate without using the provided rubber isolation mounts. The whole assembly is attached to the fan's rubber grommets anyway. It is only 6W so it doesn't need a heat sink (according to EK) and it uses a 4 pin fan connector, so no cable modding. It also comes with a 50cm extension cable.






The fill tube for the 150ml reservoir is 10mm acrylic. The fill tube and air release tube for the 450ml reservoir is 3/8-5/8 EK ZMT.











Have to start whittling the pump mounting plate next.

[Bartacus]

You fit an awful lot of stuff into an awful small space! Great stuff!

[wattermain]

Thanks Bart. Fortunately, I've hit the space limitation wall.

[Bartacus]

You must have hands like a bulemic girl to work in those tight spaces!

Nah. They're kind of normal. Not that there's anything wrong with having hands like a bulimic girl.........Right?

Thanks very much Daz

Good one man. Might be a good time to post some update photos. Finished the pump mounting plate. The GPU loop is complete and just needs a leak test.

Awesome progress, Wattermain!
