I have two of this setup that works well in both machines.



Just make sure no air gets trapped in the extender + ball valve used as "drain" when filling.

Greetings EK dudes.

I have an EK-XTOP Revo Dual D5 Pump. I have decided that I would like to mount it so that the outlet is facing the surface to which it is mounted and route the output of the pump through a hole in said surface. To that end, I would like to know the precise position of the outlet, so that I can accurately drill an appropriate hole to accommodate the fitting.

This is a copy of your mounting hole diagram annotated to indicate the measurement I am looking for.



Can you help me please?

I will send an email in hope that they have this measure on hand.

Would I be able to use https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-af-extender-rotary-m-m-g1-4-black and connect the ball valve straight to there? Or https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-af-angled-90-g1-4-black + the rotaty extender + ball valve if space proves to be an issue? I will have everything for my build here sometime during this week (except all the EK cooling stuff) and then I will know what fits, etc.

I mean without the EK-Extender you quoted.

You still need the extender since it goes into a recessed port.

Soon all D5 XTOPs / XRES will come with this new extra rubber insert and we give the user an option to use any. Pre-installed is still the 'old' one. The only downside to this it doesn't grab pump as hard as the default one does.

Revo Dual D5 doesn't have this downside due to how it's mounted hence it's the only choice now.

To each it's own, right?

@EK_tiborrr,

Not to hijack the thread, but I just received my D5 pump res combo unit and it includes the alternate rubber damper, does this really make that much of a difference? If so, why have the old one?

Thanks,
J

The main reason is what I put in bold. While the alternate rubber reduce more vidrations than the default one, it doesn't grab the pump as well as the default one do. So people who still find they feel some vibrations with the default ring and are fine with the fact that they will lose a bit of grip on the pump motor can than switch to the alternate ring. Otherwise, the default one is perfectly fine.

Time for a stupid question. I currently own the Revo Dual and have enjoyed it for the past year. However, I am thinking about going from 1 loop to 2 loops and am thinking it should be possible to turn the Revo Dual into 2 singular pumps. Is this correct thinking or would any additional pieces be required for the conversion?

I was thinking about upgrading to the dual pump and was curious if anyone knew if the reservoir holders are necessary? I use a caselabs SM8 and the dual pump would fit perfectly where I have my current pump/res (the 120mm fan cut out on the bottom), but I'm scared that it wouldn't be study enough to without the holders and it doesn't seem like holders would extend far back enough to the case unless I want to drill new holes to bring to mount the pump closer. I'd personally want to use the res X3 250 lite (saw it on performance PC) but was worried it would topple over without it being braced.

I bought a flow rate indicator thinking I'd be able to get a decent idea of my flow rate...felt like a waste of money (first time watercooling a PC), but I learned that shows me the RPM which seemed extremely slow even with my pump set high. 122 RPMs (and before anyone asks, all my other fans are on a sentry 3, so it doesn't show up there). So i'm thinking that I need more head pressure unless I'm totally missing something or have my curves set up wrong.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

In my looks, I have the following:
EK XE 480
EK XE 360
EK Supremacy EVO
EK 1080 GPU Block (x2) with a triple serial terminal

You will want the mounts. They dress up your pumps while keeping vibrations to a minimum and your Res rock steady.

I'm using the EK-XTOP Revo Dual D5 PWM Serial - (incl. 2x pump) that fits on-top of a 120x120 or 140x140 mm fan hole (the pump comes with the mounting brackets). Do note thought that mounting the pump vertically, e.g. with one pump facing downwards is unsupported.

Thanks for the help guys. Guess I'll have to replace the pump and drill through the case to hold the reservoir. I was debating on if it would be a good idea to mount it to the front radiators, but seems like I'd be completely blocking the airflow if I put the pump and a large reservoir there.

Hi guys

Is anyone aware of any method to cover/dress the ends of the Revo Dual D5 pump assembly?

At the moment, the bottom of the pumps with their white labels are visible. I want to find a way to tidy it up so it looks presentable.

So does anyone know of any mods, products or clever ideas that may help?
