Thermaltake Pacific PR32-D5 Plus 16.8 Million RBG Color Software Enabled (TT RGB Plus/Alexa/Razer Chroma) 5-Speed D5 Pump/Reservoir Combo CL-W280-PL00SW-A

The reservoir is watertight, assuming you make the connections properly, and the pump is quiet on its highest setting. That's the most important things to me. The inlet tube makes sure air trapped at the top of the reservoir doesn't get entrained into the water flow and circulated out into the system. It's a common feature on reservoirs, but some don't have a long enough tube. The mounting is a little clunky, I mount it to the floor of the case and I don't need the vertical mount bracket sticking out the back and making it look part finished. The pump wiring is long and colorful, which doesn't go with the black wiring on the cap. The pump/reservoir comes with a USB hub with another Molex connector, seems like they could have done something to reduce the wiring. It also comes with a micro USB cable for connecting to the motherboard. Fortunately my motherboard has plenty of USB connectors, and I don't need any of the conventional USB headers, so this wasn't a problem. In my case the pump drives water through two water blocks, two large radiators, and an inline mesh filter rapidly enough to keep the exit temperatures from the water blocks down to 10C over ambient. If I need another reservoir/pump this would be high on my list. I bought it on sale, so it was an easier choice at that time.

Excellent build quality and operation. Non PWM so you'll have to manually set the desired pump rpm. Kind of tall so it fills in a bit of that unused space. Just beware that the pump speed selector is located on the bottom of the assembly and that could make it tough to change rpm. Flows great, runs quiet. Very happy with it so far.

Works great and quiet. had one small hiccup few days after installing. pump stopped working tho was no big problem took pump out and cleaned the ceramic ball in it. Have had 0 problems since.

It's a simple looking combo that I decided would be the better route for myself as this was going to be my first custom loop. It looks clean and I am grateful for the mod kit on the top. The shroud over the pump looks clean. I can't comment on sound other than I never hear the thing run and I have it sitting right around 50%. When you crank it to 100% it makes a lil noise but it's not bad (I game with openbacks and that doesn't interfere at all). It looks good and I like the larger reservoir* I like it's size but Thermaltake could have done a few things different I feel: 1. I couldn't make the side mounts work with their p90 case (short of maybe drilling holes in it which I didn't want to do to a brand new case). 2. Adjustable speeds for the pump is great but the only way to access this is with a small screwdriver and to get under the pump with a flashlight to spot the lil bugger. Otherwise it works good, just not easily accessible nore to change speeds. 3. Lastly I had some issues getting a good seal with at the fitting at the exit? port (the port coming from the pump). While it didn't help the EK extension I was using didn't have many threads but I couldn't get the compression fitting in there due to the fitting coming into contact with the plastic pump cover. So the threads probably only had 3 full rotations to go in which left me with a tiny tiny leak (like a drop every 8-10 minutes) but a leak nonetheless. I didn't want to torque the fitting on anymore since I was afraid of stripping the PLASTIC threads...but eventually with the help of some silicone spray it has sealed things up and a month later not 1 drop leaked. Overall it's a great combo for a beginner such as myself but now that I've dabbled with it I think my next loop will consist of separate pump and reservoir. ***Update 5/17/2019*** Figured I'd add another picture after I decided to reconfigure my loop. While cleaning everything I ended up breaking the insert for the top feed port that goes inside of my reservoir. I did find a replacement piece (Barrow G1/4" External Flow Guide Adapter) that does the job but isn't as long and also technically mounts externally on the cap. I'm sure if I had reached out to TT support they probably could have helped as well.

La bomba en si es una bestia. Peeeero en la mia no vinieron los tornillos para sugetar a la base ni la llavecita que si indica como pieza el intructivo que trae.

They work pretty good, i will say, they dont seem to work as well as my EK D5's and have no way to adjust the speed/flow (EK ones did). For the price, they are great. They make water move from A to B. Now, the downside is the massive lack in design forward thinking. There is 1 port on the bottom, 2 on the top. Unless you are adding a split (Y or T) for drainage, there is no train port on these. Dumb. Total lack of forward thinking in the design. I dont want a massive T/Y splitter on my lines for drainage because all those extra parts cost A LOT. Do i want to burn 4-6 MORE parts to connect random lines that really shouldnt need to be there? No, no i dont. As for the RGB, its ok at best. Lots of little design lighting but in the end, the single LEDS are terrible. Maybe if you are using some pastel color stuff, but, in the end, its not effective. The full colors are great, sound detection is OK at best. Barely lights up, again, using a single LED doesnt even show up so why do it? There is nothing really subtle about the lighting ... just lack of lighting lol. They are ok, nothing great, nothing bad, its a solid "meh". Update: Already have MASSIVE vibrations in these pumps. Its one of the most aggravating issues because its making the ThermalTake case just rattle and vibrate and its horrible. I have taken the entire system apart 4 or 5 times now to tighten screws and do everything possible to remove the vibrations but nothing helps. The functionality of the pumps is "whatever". They work, they are not as good as my EK pumps (still). The software gives me so many issues. Rebooting the system causes the USB controller to no longer be detected. Few more reboots, then it works fine (very very common issue with the software). #1 issue is this intense vibration. 100% would not use this companies pumps/setups ever again. Dropped about 10k on the entire build, will go with EK next time (was a full EK system prior to going this route due to shipping issues) Update 2: 6/10 second pump started the same thing; now needs replaced as well. lol. Replaced first one with my original EK products, 0 issues. Looks like the second is coming out of retirement as well. Never will i buy Thermaltake products again in my life.

There's good and bad with this. The Good. I think it's well made (by feel and look) and quiet even on max. Note: We know it's not PWM but understand that's not a switch, it's a variable resistor. Mine shipped on MAX but it looked like it was set on 2. No leaks (not in loop yet - just out of box tested). The specs are good. Thermaltake customer service good as well. The bad. I think Thermaltake has over estimated its real value. Not really a fan of the cheesy plastic bucket mount. At this price point, I expected better. It's not even particularly secure in the mount. The unacceptable. There's no 140mm mounting option. I feel, at this value proposition (Amazon won't let you address price) I totally expect a 140mm mount to be included. Not only is one not included, there are no Thermaltake options. How crazy is that? That means expect about 2 days and another $20 for stainless steel hardware store screws, paint, cutting and somebody else's 140mm mount. And, you are forced to waste money on the included ARGB control, wire packs, and light ring. They offer a non RGB D5 silent pump, why can't they offer this in non RGB? Recommend: yes/no? Yes 💯% if you want a 120mm RGB pump for a custom loop. No, for every other scenario. Summary: I suppose I am sorely disappointed because I feel I had to pay for stuff I didn't want and some of what I wanted wasn't even optional as an add-on accessory. The results: if Thermaltake is going to set up a "Premium" ask, Thermaltake needs a "premium" kit. Bottom line? No I wouldn't buy it again for a non-RGB, 140mm (wide) radiator mounted custom loop. It's just not a good product for that application.

First, I'll say I do not like Thermaltake. Their software for the RGB is annoying. With that being said, their hardware is exceptional. I have been building PC's and using Thermaltake products for many years. This pump in particular has been in two different builds over the past year and half. It runs strong, is super quiet, and I can trust that it is going to last a long time. In the current machine it is pumping through 2 360mm radiators and no problem with flow.

It was time to retire my around 18 years old Eheim based pump. 3x 360 radiators and the TechN AM4 water block (fine fins) was to much for this old lady. This ddc pump has so much more water flow and is quite enough (if the air is out). I was real positive surprised, nearly shocked about the flow rate. Wow... I didn't expect this. Not needed, but nice to have. I was reading so often, the ddc is loud for some ones. I disagree - for this huge water flow it's a quite pump. Not louder than my 4x 140 and 6x 120 fans in lilent mode. I mounted the ddc with 4 rubber absorber screws and all is ok. No leaking, no other problems. I tried to let the pump run in 7v. It's not bad, but I went back to 12v, because I don't see any benifits. Temerature of the pump is a little bit at the warm side, maybe less at 7v but no drama at all with 12v. Only thing - make sure, you have enough space in your case. The diameter of the tube is bigger than many other tanks. Even in my huge x71 core tower, the HDD's went down to the lower chamber. I would buy it again and recommend this pump/tank combo

This piece of reservoir ACTUALLY LEAKS NOW I AM PISSED OFF. WHAT THE ACTUAL PIECE OF TECH THAT LEAKS AT THE BASE. THE SEAL IS HORRIBLE. I EXPECT A REFUND.

Used this Res + D5 Pump combo in my first custom loop and couldnt be more happy with it. Installation was easy & streamlined and the fact that it runs off a 4pin molex is great as its super easy to power with a supplementary PSU for maintenance without having to power your main machine. Runs cool & quiet - 100% recommend for any DIY PC enthusiast.

perfect, work in silence.....
