While the aquarium pump was fun to try things out and gain some experience with building a water cooled PC for the first time, it is time to change it out for something better to resolve several issues.
We will be swapping aquarium pump it is time to swap out the pump to something better, a D5 based ThermalTake Pacific PR32-D5 Plus.

This is my first water cooled PC build and have gained a lot of experience with this first build and will continue to improve this build as more experience is gained. Quite a bit of knowledge was through watching hours of water cooling KZitem videos and was about time to take the plunge myself.
Yeah I could have just bought an (expensive) kit with everything included, but was was the fun in that, I guess I just wanted to make it hard on myself, but also wanted to know how to source all the parts. I had fun and learned a lot of ways not to build a water cooled PC, and that is what counts, right?
First and foremost it was not a good idea to run the system with an open reservoir as foreign debris was introduced into the system which we will discover later when we drain things out. Nothing was damaged but I can imagine if those debris sat in there for a longer period of time, the mess it would cause...
