pump is nice and chunky but fairly compact
The media could not be loaded. Building my first Hardline rig I needed a pump with G1/4 threads this was my choice.Received the item with scratches on the motor, oh well. Res is high quality, barb fitting is throw away, pump is nice and chunky but fairly compact.Moves a TON of water with a ton of pressure slightly noisy at full speed, but with proper pump isolation (mounting on soft foam) it's very tolerable. Purchase a PWM controller to make it nearly silent.My main gripe is it does start at low rpm and rotor balance could be better.UPDATE: After modifying the mounting setup using foam and moon gel, I have it performing at around 25db, the pump seems to be running quieter with less vibration since first installed, and RPM's seem higher, motor runs stone cold, and I idle at 2C above ambient on a Ryzen 1700X.Overall VERY pleased.

It works like a friggen champ!
Pump works great, no leaks. Pushes serious water with really good flow. Its quiet, I have mine mounted to outside of case while I'm doing my leak testing and its only 20 inches from my head right now and its barely audible with my fan going on the radiator. If i had more space in case id recommend a bigger reservoir as getting bubbles out of system before being sucked up again will be difficult. I may invert the reservoir to have the return line feed into the water or I may get a Y splitter and do two return lines to slow flow back into tank, or another loop for gpu/memory, pump certainly has enough push for another loop.Also I'm missing a cap (picture shows two) as of right now the top is wide open(minus one star other wise it'd be five). Theoretically i should buy a silver bullet cap for the open port and have it do double duty as anti microbial. Also some thing to consider that the fittings to connect to tubing are slightly smaller than the "standard". Either buy extra fittings or choose tubing carefully, I went with tubing out of a fuel siphon kit(7.98 at wal-fart) and warmed the ends up to go over the standard fittings and used hose clamps from wal-fart(2.98$) to go over the pump fittings to ensure no leaks.Way, way, way cheaper than some alternatives that have to be bought in pieces(d5 are like double or triple the cost and that's just the pump nothing else) and then assembled. Not much in the way of customization but this pump is going in a Frankenstein build in a getawey case so looks aren't important to me. Not that it ain't great looking. Probably gona hit it with some spray paint to brighten it up once I get a more desirable/fancy case. Only thing id ask for in this product is a sata power cable instead of the molex so I wouldn't have to use an adapter.*update*moved in/out ports around and system cleared of air in about 10-15 minutes. Once i got the in/out ports in the right spot, the baffle in the system would let the bubbles rise to the surface rather than being sucked back into pump.Note when bleeding system its easier to have a spare power supply to toggle the pump off and on quickly to upset air in the system. I used a staple to jumper the power/ground on the atx cable off and on, then when most of the air was gone left it in place for it to run awhile with out having to fire up main computer supply.

2 weeks later, pump is rattling.
After a couple of weeks running this pump/res combo, the pump is making a loud rattling noise. It's a shame because it otherwise was very good for the money. Everything sealed easily and it was fairly quiet while running

Good value, but noisy
Had this water cooling kit for 1 and half years. This pump is audibly the loudest part of my computer and it always runs at 100%. I swapped the pins on the molex connector to run it at 5v which still pumped adequately and runs nearly silent. After 1.5 years running about 10 hours a day since the pump has greatly reduced flow. Such damage isn't unexpected for such a large undervolt for that amount of time. I have bought a different replacement pump, but I will be reusing all of the other parts.I would recommend this product only if you aren't concerned about the noise since undervolting isn't a long term solution.

PLEASE READ!!!!
So I got this pump/reservoir combo because my AIO went out. The build quality is amazing. But, the molex power connector comes wired up to 5V and this pump needs 12V. So after tearing apart my entire loop looking for a block I come to fund out the pump was only getting 5V. After wiring it up to 12V it really came to life. Pump is going through CPU water block, into a 360mm rad, into a 240mm rad and back to drain. It pumps the flow great. There are some small bubbles spitting back into the reservoir and I believe causing a very small clatter sound. Overall for the price it's a great starter pump/res combo. Also please note it does come with 2 plugs and 2 barb fittings. The plugs are great, the barbs are too small and junk.Packing included pump with molex power cable, reservoir with top, mounting brackets, screws, 2 plugs and 2 (junk) barb fittings.I've only had it running for a day, will update down the road!

Hands down, for $40, this pump is 100% worth it's price.
So my custom loop consists of ALL EK watercooling parts. For the second time however, my EK pump/res died. I've now learned a very valuable lesson for anyone who wants to get into custom loops, that has somehow had to happen twice for me to learn, ALWAYS have a spare pump. For this purpose, this pump/res combo is perfect. It's a good pump, it works. It's pretty quiet, and it comes with everything you need, though the fittings do seem a little cheap so I didn't use them. But as of right now this pump is feeding my custom loop that is cooling my Threadripper 1900x, the Asus Zenith Extreme motherboard, etc. EK is sending out yet another replacement pump however, which will go back in when it arrives, and this pump will be thoroughly cleaned and placed in a big comfy box wrapped in bubble wrap for the next time it's needed.Hands down, for $40, this pump/res combo is 100% worth it's price. If you're wondering if it's decent, yes it really is. The only con I would say is that it isn't PWM controlled, or voltage controlled, it literally plugs into a molex connector and runs at 100% all the time. It does so quietly, but it probably doesn't need to run at 100%, and will probably not last as long as a PWM pump/res because of it. But at this price you could just buy another one really.
