OMG do want. Can it fit in the Corsair 800D? I know some the XSPC bay res's had an issue where you needed file the 800D's bay shelves (or w/e they're called). :shrug:

This was announced a little while back. You buy one, use it for 3 months and then tell us how it turns out.
oh lawd ok. hmm, so I assume that this includes the fixes from the other XSPC bays?
I have no clue. I've not ever had a problem with a XSPC product personally, but you compared it to a T3.
From what I can tell from pictures, it looks like a good design. I like how the pump has been brought in - more like a cg mount.

Is this bay res even on the league with the T3 in terms of functionality?

If thisis anything like the dual bay res for DDC that I just sent back, good luck.... It was impossible to fit in the drive bay cage of my Raven 2 case and more importantly was a noisy SOB, the resonance from the pump making contact with the drive cage was a nightmare. Perhaps they have fixed these issues, but looking at the design it looks the same.....
Let me know how it turns out....
You mean, will it hold water?Quote:

It's like shouts about better reliability of D5 pumps, because DDC have failed for few guys - if you take into account that DDC pump is THE most common pump in LC scene, and outsells most of others by a lot, no wonder that some rarely bought/used pump might be seen as more reliable.
three failures from one person. . .not three separate people from among thousands of builds.Quote:

So as long as you get the revised version, with the top panel that extends all the way to and over the rear panel(the panel with the ports), you should be good.
How to differentiate the revised model?Quote:

Take that for what it's worth, but I personally have been using a XSPC 2x DDC dual bay res for a few months and have had no issues. After I saw the issues last year, I contacted Sidewinder directly and was assured that all of their old stock was replaced. I have also since built a new WCS for a friend using the same res and again, no issues.
As for the noise that Neutronman referred to, I bet the rails are simply too tight in his case. I have a MM UFO and my dual res is whisper quiet. My buddy on the other hand has a 800D and we had to file down the rails inside to make it fit. We were able to jam it in before filing, but the tightness did make the pumps resonate to the case and was very loud. After filing down the rails however, it's just as quiet as my UFO.
Man.. this is not very reassuring...

<this post is 100% sarcasm.. do not take anything seriously>
Just about every single product they've released that has acrylic in it has had problems of some sort. The biggest difference is, XSPC's stuff is all laser cut and chemically bonded or welded which makes mid run changes 1000x's easier to fix than something like the T3, which is something a lot of folks simply don't have a clue about. They think PC just snaps their fingers and a new revision T3 is made. . .sorry, it doesn't work that way.Quote:

Nah, if it's like the 2x DDC dual bay res, the 800D has rails that have to be filed down a bit. You can technically jam it in, but it 100% kills the anti-vibration rubber grommets.Quote:

That would be awesome if so. I know the newest DDC version that I have personally tried still didn't fit, but perhaps they changed the D5 version.
oh wow this is new news to me.Quote:

I believe the D5 is less of a hothead than the DDC, but I still like to know the temps inside those enclosures with the pumps running.
So have you found a couple of physic rules you've been able to ignore? Maybe gravity :rolleyes:? Is stupidity also a physics rule? I believe it's more of a constant. According to Einstein it might be infinite :rofl:.Quote:

Please excuse the micro bubbles, I just refilled after tweaking my tubing.

I think id buy it if i didn't hate D5's with passion so much.
I assume the D5 res is the same as the DDC res in that the bottom is completely open so the pumps can breath.
Look where the wire is hanging down, I'd guess that whole area is open and only the actual res part has a bottom piece of acrylic.
yeah which is why i said its a very nice unit.. however i really hate the D5.
Im also known on this forum as a major D5 hater.
Roger that!Quote:

I guess it will fit fine with 800D, I managed to fit mine in a CM 690II. Only problem i see is the mounting screws and adjusting the D5 pump.
