    Im using an XSPC 2 bay (d5) reservoir in my actual pc. now I,m involved in my new build and I will repit the 2 bay reservoir experience, but will like to know your opinions about the different models on the market, the pump will be the same D5 I use now.

    I have a REV 1.3 Koolance RP-452X2 and I love it. They just recently released a 2.0 Version that looks significantly better though.

    In my case I have a single loop only with one d5 pump. This Koolance looks very nice but it seems is showing two loops

    I can wholeheartedly recommend the Monsoon: http://www.dangerden.com/store/pump-bay-reservoirs/

    Both it and the Koolance can be run with either dual or single loops.
    If I'm a danger to myself just think what I could do to you.

    The one from Danger Den is the one I like better,unfortunately is not available in Europe in any re-seller and get it from US, make the price very high ( shipment+customs). Away from that I understand the Koolance can run a single loop only but in this case what happens ? You see de water running only in the half part of the reservoir or in both?? The front will allways show two sections instead of one ??

    You can run the Koolance for a single or dual loops with up to 2 pumps using compartmentalized or one combined reservoir.

    Let see Phil- I understand I can use a single loop with one d5, but what i need to know in this case is , if the water will flow on both sections of the reservoir or just only in one.

    Correction: There will be minimal or no flow in the other compartment without a pump attached. That said, I'm sure the temp will somewhat normalized after a while.
