Reservoir Mounts

[xHadrian]

So basically I'm trying to mount my reservoir to my radiator (360) but couldn't find any mounts. Before you recommend me the UNI pump bracket from EK, I don't have a combo pump/res, and there's no upgrade kit which would allow me to fit them together or create a combo unit.

 

tl;dr looking for a way to mount my res on a 360 rad

 

Thanks.

You can try to get creative with one of these :https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-uni-holder-50-70

 

Also, you can convert a D5 pump + EKWB top + res into a pump/res combo. I actually did the reverse in my own build where I started with a pump/res combo but needed to split it, but i essence it can be reversed.

Depends on what reservoir you have but you can get brackets such as this and holders for mounting the tub res.

I have the EK ones, however I don't know how I can fit them on a rad.

I guess this will let you upgrade to a pump/res combo: https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-xres-140-ddc-acetal

But you will end up with 2 tubes..

Nah not willing to pay 60 dollars just for a piece that could have been 20 dollars.

What are your plans on setting up the res, the metal brackets hold it out away from the rad and the plastic holders clamp onto the reservoir in place.

Yeah, I know that however it's not intended to be used on a rad. It's intended to be used on a case, so would you recommend screwing it in into the holes where the fan screws would usually go?

Yes they are intent to mount on a rad those brackets are used exactly for that same as the EKWB ones. It's another option to say drilling holes in the motherboard tray. With adapter brackets you can mount it directly to a rad or over top of fans on a rad such as this, which is another kind of adapter:
