Pump/Reservoir Suggestion

post #1 of 16
6/9/12 at 5:08pm
Thread Starter 
The pump in my XSPC Rasa Kit recently died so I have to replace both the pump/reservoir since they're together. Anyone have any budget-friendly but decent pump / reservoir suggestions? I would prefer having a pump/reservoir in the same component but I'm open to all suggestions.

I'm only cooling my CPU so it doesn't need to be extremely power.

Thanks!

If you can afford it, I would recommend the Danger Den Monsoon paired with a Laing D5 pump. It's a double bay res where you attach the pump to the back of it. It's very quiet and a space saver. It also helps the pump perform better than stock.

Thanks. I've been out of the watercooling game in awhile so I don't remember much... What do I have to keep in mind to ensure that the new reservoir/pump will work with my existing loop?

Either option will work with your loop.
Im using the XSPC dual bay res with a mcp355 pump on my back up build.

Just make sure you get the same size fittings as used with the rest of your loop and you'll be fine.

to save more money for a cpu only loop you could get a mcp655-b with a xspc bay res.

I use the mcp35x + res with the downpipe mod as recommended by Martin. Love it and it's a very economical solution.
