Hey, I am doing my first loop and I need some kind of gasket for under my pump/top setup to stop the noise/vibrations. Whats the best stuff to use? It must look stealthy, not interested in those sponge jobbies!!

Never had custom watercooling but I don't think you'd need to be a nasa engineer to give advice on vibrations haha

First thing that comes to mind is to use foam tape, not sure whats its real name but something like this.

Seeing that the 600T graphite is on the darker side, I'd suggest getting black foam tape.

i was looking for some kind of soft silicone or something but i think this is a great idea! thanks!

Ah I see, how about blue tack, that stuff you use to stick papers and stuff. If you put a small piece under the pump it shouldn't necessarily show from the sides and should dampen it nicely (Although it does harden over time). But I am thinking something along those lines.
