THE KIT PART 2

The VPP655 pump is available in normal (manual RPM) and PWM versions and is currently one of the strongest ones in the market capable of pushing up to 1500 liters of water per hour (the only downside is that it uses up to 23W at max RPM).

Mounting the pump onto the reservoir is not hard (just remove the holder with the bundled Alen key, place the pump and then put it back on to secure it) and if by any chance one of these is not powerful enough to push liquid through your multi-radiator setup you can install a 2nd one on the other side.

Alphacool doesn't have a very wide range of waterblocks but we did get their best one the NexXxoS XP3 Light Black Edition (measures 67mm in length, 14mm in height and 57mm in width).

The copper base is polished but not enough to give a mirror like finish.

We didn't want to possibly affect the performance of the waterblock by opening it so we decided to use a marketing picture to showcase its interior cross-slotted structure.

Unfortunately at the time we made this configuration Alphacool fans were not available from their EU distributor so instead we chose the latest NB-eLoop fans by Phobya. These fans can spin up to 1600RPM to produce up to 61.2CFM of airflow with just 22.5dBA of noise.

These fans use a thick rubber frame which reduces vibrations almost entirely while their blades feature airflow "channels" for improved performance.

By mounting these fans the radiator thickness goes up to 85mm so do pay extra attention to that.

Oh did we mention that these are high-quality fans manufactured by the German Noiseblocker?
