Temp solution for pump/res

[yannickverc]

HeyGuys

 

I was building my water loop when I noticed I forgot to buy the pump/res mounting *facepalm* 

Now I don't wanna sit here for 4 days without a gaming PC so I'm looking for a temp solution to keep the pump/res in place.

The thing I forgot:

 

It's a mounting thing that screws in a 120mm fan spot. I'm gonna mount it the place of the back exhaust fan in an H440 case.

 

Any ideas how I can securely get my pump/res in place until the mounting bracket arrives in 4/5 days?

 

The pump/res: 

 

Thanks!

Unfortunately unless you want to mount the pump/res at the bottom of the case or horizontally, you're going to have to put in some serious effort.

This same situation happened to me and I was stuck waiting an extra few days.  Luckily performance-PCs.com had a DDC UNI holder and fairly cheap 2 day shipping.

 

If you're really antsy about it, go to home depot and find two small metal L-brackets and drill holes in them so you can mount it anywhere.

 

Basically make these

Hang it by the tubes. Thats what I do, keeps the vibrations down

My res is fairly heavy since it's a res/pump combo. Don't think it would be safe to let it hang by the tubes

some hot glue and zip ties should give you a temporary solution albeit with a little creativity
