This will be a rebuild of my current PC "The One". The PC was initially housed in Corsair Graphite 760T before moving everything to the Caselabs Mercury S8. My hope is to finish this build as quick as possible as I need a PC to do my application development. My laptop feels very sluggish, thus working on it isn't fun at all. Considering most of the stuff I do are data related, I need the PC up running asap.

Thanks guys and welcome onboard.

I just shortened and sleeved the power cables for the two Aquacomputer D5 pump mechnics with USB. Also, I created two short USB cables for the pumps. I have installed them in the EK-D5 Dual TOP. All tested good.

I tested the pump individually connecting one at a time to the Bitspower X-Station Power-Extension I.

I didn't realise those were a thing. I mounted LED strips behind my reservoirs.

Have you tried these with Pastel fluids? I have a multi-port top and could still easily incorporate these into my build.
I don't think you would really see any light with pastel, but it works great with x1. Just be careful, those lights are really fragile! I broke mine while trying to remove it and put it into a different port

It looked great for the 3 seconds I tested it before deciding it needed to be moved lol

I really love this Dual pump top. I was lucky enough to grab it from another user on EVGA.com forum. I think I will be using it for a very long time.
