xspc X2O 750 Dual Bayres/Pump V4

[Remove]

I have enjoyed using a XSPC X2O 750 Dual Bayres/Pump V4 for almost a decade now. Mine is still operational but I figured I would grab another one for a backup as I may be doing a new build soon only to find they are discontinued and hard to find.

What would be a similar dual bay res/pump combo that is available and has been proven?

That really depends what case you're going to be using. Most people these days aren't using dual bay res/pump combos as a lot of new cases don't have drive bays.

Using a Corsair 540https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categ...40-High-Airflow-ATX-Cube-Case/p/CC-9011030-WW so plenty of room.

Check how I set up my old rig with a water loop in the 540. Water stuff starts happening on page 4, final pics on page 8. Had the pump/res stuck in the back half under the drive bays.

I'm still using the D5 Dual bay res/pump combo V1 identical to the V2 link: http://www.xs-pc.com/discontinued-eol/d5-dual-bay-reservoirpump-combo. When I first got it, there was a manufacturer defect of the V1 that the top was warped thus causing it to leak. It needed a locking screw at a weak key point which XSPC addressed with the V2. I sealed my V1 with flex seal and it hasn't leaked since Only distilled water with PTHNuke. The D5 Lowara pump has been rock solid. Picked it up from Hardass several years ago. I know it's been more than 5 that's for sure.

XSPC made a similar setup that used a D5. I used it for years without problem and was sad to see it go as well so I know your pain. I guess they changed that to a dual pump setup though. It looks like the same basic parts but an added second pump now so you might check that out.

EDIT: I see Neb beat me to it.

Alphacool still have some dual bay reservoirs for both d5 and ddc pumps.

I believe Koolance also have something but they are really expensive.

I may have to go with the newer dual pump model but sheesh those things went to crazy expensive. Hoping someone had a personal review of them or similar,

Alphacool dual d5, no pump included, is cheap https://www.alphacool.com/shop/rese...k-dual-laing-d5-dual-5-25-bay-station?c=20599.

I dont know if you can get it in your location, maybe aquatuning online store.

Yup they did. That is why I went with a standard tube reservoir and mounted the pump separate for this build. I just don't see the need to pay these crazy prices because the manufacturers like to stiff us. I also don't buy into this sudden need for a dual pump that everyone feels is necessary when one works just fine.

Agreed. The one in their now is on year 5 of continous function.
