Excellent
Really good pump recommended
Excellent combo tank pump
Easy way to get a high quality pump and tank without breaking the bank. The pump is very quiet compared to the coolermaster nepton 280l which whistled in my case. I regulate it via Speedfan, between 30% idle and 50% under load, so I never hear it. I wanted to put a foam between its attachment to the case and the case but finally the rubber ring absorbs the vibrations better than I thought so no need. The only negative point is that the diameter of the tank was too big to fix it on the glass side of the corsair air series 540, so I fixed it instead of the SSD cage. Apart from that, I think it's a very good item and recommend it.
Pro
- Practice
- Design
- Quality

Buy tip
Really very quiet, well made and with fan control on the motherboard no additional control technology necessary. Connect power + fan connector on motherboard (special "pump" slot available for me) => runs straight away. However, I had to drill 2 holes in the housing during installation. There would be a separate frame, but the Dremel also works.
Pro
- Quiet
- Processing
- Control via fan control on motherboard
- Easy installation
Contra
- Cable unsightly
- Separate mounting frame not included in scope of delivery
Highly recommended!
Very good combination of pump and AGB! Even under full load, the pump is not audible. The fans drown out the noise of the pump. Even with my very large system (Radis: 1 x 1080, 1 x 360, 1 x 240, CPU and GPU cooler) I still have 150 l/h flow.
Pro
- quiet
- AGB large
recommendable
Very high-quality product.
Pump is inaudible in operation even at full throttle.
If you buy this pump, you get a very good, technically mature product that is ideal for smaller enclosures. The workmanship and tightness are top-notch, and the idea of using the filling port as a thread is also quite nice.
If you buy the pump, you should make sure that you also install the Antivortex foam that comes with it. It needs it!
Unfortunately, I don't like the cabling very much. Here, a black/red individual cable has simply been fitted with a plug. The same applies to the control of the pump output.
In times of visually elaborate computers, this is a sin and not nice to look at. A proper cable conduit or a sensible cable right from the start would not have done any harm here.
All in all, recommendable! (the pump capacity of 1500 l/h stated on Digitec cannot really be correct, but it is more than sufficient).Pro

Best pump combo there is... (My opinion)
Extremely quiet pump. I have set it to silent on my asrock b85 anniversary. ~1000rpm. In my opinion inaudible.
Pro
- Additional anti-vibration ring
- Sticker for holes
