I love this top. It does make the D5 smaller. I had a little trouble finding room on the floor of my Cosmos 1000, now with this top, no problem. It was extremely easy to put together. The main reason I bought this was I needed the G1/4 fittings. This top is the cheapest and according to Skinnee's test, the best performing. Absolutely no complaints. Great work Erik.

I just got everything put back together tonight. As I said, I did change my loop a little bit. I will post a couple of photos, probably tomorrow, under the water cooled case gallery thread.
It doesn't seem that you will see any major temp differences. Using Asus AI Suite and EVGA Precision I measured in Celsius:
-Stock Head
Idle:
CPU - 44
GPU - 39
Peak:
CPU - 60
GPU - 49
-Detroit AC Head
Idle:
CPU - 45
GPU - 40

I did not conduct this as an official test, so please don't take it as one.
