Touchaqua XYZ Reservoir (PWM) (BPTA-XYZ-RES-PWM)

I have not graduated into acrylic yet but upgrading from a cylinder res/pump to this has me considering it. Great block, very well built. I am not using the optional flow indicator, so those are just capped off. The install/manual is located in Bitspower's website, it did not ship with one. For the included bracket, it does not come with screws to attach it to a radiator/fan. For my setup in the LianLi, I used the long screws for the radiator and went through the block bracket -> fans -> radiator. Worked better than I expected. It also comes with an ARGB splitter which works great. The pump is okay, like the other reviewer mentions, upgrade the pump. This pump will connect directly in to your CPU fan connection or you can use the included molex converter to go full bore.

Not much more to say. I love the way this thing looks, and it's compact enough to fit in even modest cases. The pump does the job well enough and after a year of use has shown no signs of stopping - however mine had a minor problem with fluid that would seep out of the edges. I say 'minor' because it would evaporate before it could condense and become harmful to my system, but I would have to 'top off' a few ounces of fluid every couple of weeks. Spotted by adding some UV reactive fluid to my loop, and fixed by replacing the gasket and making sure the screws were adequately tightened.

I bought this for a loop with 2 360 res, GPU and mono block. Not enough head pressure. Its an spc pump. Its compatible with ddc pumps from ekwb so Im just going to upgrade. Also the pump speed inst constant even though the rpms say it is in the bios and its set to 100%. The block looks amazing, love the built in flow indicator(Otherwise I would of never know the pump was fluctuating so greatly). Its a 5v add led so you will need the thermaltake adapter for 5v to12v on some motherboards and not all colors register through that but most due. It looks like it would be easy to change the leds yourself as they enter into the acrylic from the side and are only trapped my a screw. Overall happy to get away from the cylinder res that all my friends have.

So far, so good. I've had this pump and well installed for about a month now without a problem. You will need to consider how you want to run your lines to make it easier to purge the air. Also, as a note, all the I/Os are acrylic, so be careful threading your connectors to them. I had no problem. You just can't manhandle it as if it was copper. And, hand tighten only! Stop after applying just a little force. I have mine set up with an opaque white fluid and sitting between two EKWB pumps with opaque blue. The LED lights reflecting off the white in the chambers is very appealing.

I don’t know why this has 8 mounting holes and it comes with only 4 screws.... what if you don’t want to mount On the brackets??

I have to agree with some of the comments. The head pressure is weak. Maybe that’s why it is never mentioned on Bitspower’s website among the specs. We know the flow is about 960 L / hour. The head pressure - unlike almost all pumps I worked with in the past like XSPC, alphacool , Ek , swiftech... - is not stated. Since I am using 2 of the “above average” restriction RADs : 1 x 360GTS and 1 x 240GTS plus 2 water blocks I can tell from the flow meter , and judge by the temperature performance that the pump is suffering in order to push through the liquid all over the loop. Also instructions did not come with the package. I had to go online and print it out. Inlets abd outlets are a bit confusing at first since this is a dual chamber , you have to plan your loop properly ahead. In all cases, I would pick a D5 over it if not for the great and unique looks. I think DDC when tuned down a bit will be even better.

I chose this product over the phantex block because the touchaqua has basically an all around (360)view and came with the pump assembled and all needed hardware to attache to radiator. wellllll every fan plus radiator in my system is 140mm. the brackets for this product is for 120mm applications. i decided to buy a 360mm radiator and don't forget the fans (3) plus a 5 volt switch for the led and a few additional fittings. what was going to be a thirty minute switch over turned into a five day 300 additional dollars, plus 200 for the touchaqua 500 total ordeal. THIS THING IS BEAUTIFUL I LOVE IT

I saw this specific Pump/Res used on the InWin 905 promotional material. It definitely goes well with the case. Filling it was a pain and took a couple hours for the air to bleed out using the red fluid. I wasn't able to figure out the correct Radiator and fitting combo to fit it up nicely and had to use a small spacer with the mount.
