I honestly picked the DDC for aesthetics. The D5 looks kind of crap IMO. Is Is there any way to shroud it and make it a bit more pleasing to the eye (whilst still remaining compatible with the mount: https://www.pccasegear.com/products/33467/ek-uni-vertical-120mm-pump-bracket). Either way I'll switch to the D5. 

Dno imo the circular nature of the D5 blend better with the cylindrical res. While you would have to waiver the Ek mount, bitspower makes some D5 shrouds that always reminded me of ice cream tubs.

Considering you're doing both as intake radiators, make the front an exhaust. Even though hot air rises to the top, you're actively pushing it down. This way you can add addition fans in between the reservoir and radiator. I can guarantee you you'll hate your temperatures if you leave it the way it is.

 

Anyways, I'm not gonna try to make you do anything. Just consider it, because I went through the same thing. You can configure your fan in every which direction, and raise your pump to the max it won't help. I've tried it all.

I want to keep positive pressure, as dust builds up pretty quick where my PC is. I think I'll just cut my losses and accept the slightly higher temp. Thanks for the help

That looks a lot better than the ones in the EK combos. And is giving me cravings for ice cream. Does it come in black? I'm planning to have all black components and then use Silver Primochill Vue when it comes out so the white would clash. 

 

How much would I need to stray from my selected parts. More specifically:

• Mount pccasegear.com/products/33467/ek-uni-vertical-120mm-pump-bracket 
• Res pccasegear.com/products/34125/ek-res-x3-250-lite (remember I wanted it to screw into pump)
• Tube pccasegear.com/products/29611/ek-res-x3-internal-tube-12-16-40mm 
• And fill/drain config (inlet and fill port at top of res, outlet and drain port at the bottom, from the pump)

Im afraid I'm less than familiar with the bitspower pump and mount but it looks like there are lots of ports. Just compare the serial number and make sure the stuff is compatible.

you might have to buy directly from them? I could only find a hideous red version on pccasegear

Ew. Will definitely avoid the red. I'll check the specs and look into ordering from them but if the shipping to the west coast of Australia is too obscene (assuming it'll come from the US), I'll just go with a d5 from EK.

Also, both links lead nowhere. Goes to the bitspower site but says the product is not found.

Bitspower ships from Taiwan so might not be too bad for you. although you will probably get taxed.

 

I'm going to bed now, good luck!
