Pump Mounting

Hi everyone, I'm currently planning my first water cooling build and I've got pretty much everything I need to get the job done now, however I have one burning question..

 

I'm going to be building inside the Corsair 570X, but I don't know where I'm going to be mounting my pump/res combo (found here: https://www.ekfluidgaming.com/ek-kit-a360g). Can any of the more experienced water coolers help me out with this? The 570X doesn't look like it has a fan mounting area at the bottom of the case, so I'm at a loss right now. What do I do?

 

Cheers guys,

Flinty

people seem to be putting them on the floor of the case infront of the PSU shroud in the builds i have found, like this:

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

The pump has rubber feet for a reason. I can't think of a reason why you wouldn't be able to mount it there in the bottom. If you don't want it sitting in the bottom, you could also mount it to the fans/rad in the front using a bracket like this one: https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-uni-pump-bracket-120mm-fan-vertical
