I've decided to go a bit Xtreme cooling mine. It's not really needed, just something I got carried away with when the idea came up. The final mount may not even be what you see here, but it will be close.



That is the very same pump that sat on the SA foam. It sat on the SA foam without the heat sink. I'm currently swapping all the hardware from a CM Centurion 5 to a Yeong Yang YY-0221B that's been heavily modified.

Interesting pump mount. I am curious do you think the heatsink adds value? I understand putting a fan under it or the pump in front of one, I plan to make 3" high square tubes and mount small fans in the tube with the dcc's sitting about and inch or so from the fan at the top of the tube, basically little shrouds for my pumps, maybe overkill but i built a sheet metal bending break and I was fooling around with some scraps when i got the idea. The reason I ask about the sink is its not touching anything metal or very conductive of heat i would assume to transfer the heat from, looking at the bottom of the dcc's i just got there isn't even any kind of hole or vent just the circle thing on the bottom not even sure what that is. (still don't have enough part to even turn then on atm) I guess if you think that helps it would be pretty easy for me to pick up a few small sinks or see if i can salvalge any from dead machines. Oh and thanks I was wondering if you can mount the pump on its side like that, that answers one of my questions.
