Hey guys, I want to do my custom loop, but I have a Corsair Air 540 Case which has 2 vertical bays. Will the XSPC dual 5.25 bay reservoir/pump be compatible with my case? Thanks!

It looks like it might work but I am not one to say since I use a closed loop system

I doubt it would work because the pumps on that unit are placed in such a way that liquid will be constantly fed to them, having them vertical might not be nice for the pump.

I tend to recommend against 5.25" bay res'.

It could work, but I can't say for sure.

If you want your system to be silent, I wouldn't use it. I have the XSPC dual bay pump/res combo, and the vibrations cause a bit of noise. Its difficult to dampen the vibrations through the case

 

Take my advice, go for a pump that you can place on an anti vibration pad.
