New Koolance *Dual D-5* Bay Reservoir! (RP-450X2)

[Koolance]

Just a quick question.
is the acrylic window removable?
Is the divider plate removable?
If they are can you tap the holes to install fittings if there is sufficient room to do so

Window is removable.

Divider plate is removable.

I don't think there's enough room in there for extra fittings... you'd have to measure the inside and outside of the acetal and see if more acetal could be chipped away.

If divider plate is removable .. maybe it's possible to design replacement one completely splitting res for those wishing fully separate dual loops? Though so far from few posts about this res it seems that most are interested in redundant serial connected dual restop for single loop for failover purpose/higher total head pressure. I wonder if Gabe's findings from test about single vs dual loops has something to do with it.

Lol gabes findings shifted everybody perception of it before then it was how many loops can I fit.

MagisD: It was also because few years ago old pumps (like of pre-ddc era, immersible aquarium pumps and alike) had very weak head pressure, so with many waterblocks/big restriction multiple loops was best way to have good flow. So that line of thinking/loop planning simply got common by inertia of thinking even after need for that lessened afterwards and probably is still popular among veterans of LC.

these babies are waiting for the serial version ... got a 6th on the way



Cheers Tim ..we wait patiently for that beauty

someone pick one of these up and build a log, im so tempted to fit one of these into my wc log!!

[Lanek]

I order one this week ... will fit perfectly in my case ... it's not for the dual D5, but more for a question of place, it will let me free the pump+res zone in the pc floor and use the bay (unused ) for it ...
let's hope all is fine, hard to fine stock for it in europe.

Very nice looking reservoir.

Any chance of making these as a reservoir only sans the pump provisions?

I don't like the fact it limits your choice for the which pump you want to run plus it places it high in the loop. Maximize the volume and adding baffles to minimize the chance of air entering the system and this would be the perfect resevoir IMO. Do that and I'm all over this thing!

There's already bay mount res's w/o pumps. Has been for a while. This is a different product. The reason it exists is cause people wanted the pump/res combo.

Can you point me to where it is?

OP photos updated with the new logo bezel. Recent shipments before we ran out of stock included the new bezels, and all of our future arrivals will be this way.

We don't have equivalent reservoir-only products yet, but we'll have some out soon.

I really like the updated version. I just ordered one and hope it will be the new version. If I am only using one pump, is it recommended to remove the divider plate?

There's no reason to remove any inside pieces when using one pump. The reservoir isn't divided.

Hi ty for advice!

Just recived one of these a few days ago, thanks Koolance for the prompt delivery. Today recieved gentle Typhoon P-15 fans. Gonna feed two Swiftech MCR , 120 x3 and a 120x2 ,cooling i7-965 and a XFX HD 5870, mounting in a HAF 932 . Got both rads inside the case,triple on top and double on bottom. Could not mount resivor in top two bays so dropped down one. Plumbed dd fill port from top to one of the fill ports. I ordered extra fittings,elbows,elbow blocks,ectra. The bits power fittings will work but a lil grinding between the two. Just a word to the wise, order plenty of fittings of different types. Been looking for a decent fan controller but haven't found exzactly what i'm looking for. Looking for a single or dual bay with a lil bling that will control the GT P-15's and the stock Cooler Master big fans that come with the HAF 932 ,if anyone got any ideas give me a shout.
