Quality of XSPC Acrylic D5 Tank Reservoir??

[The_Governour]

So, as the title says - what is the quality of the XSPC Acrylic D5 Tank Reservoir?

Specs as follows:

http://www.xs-pc.com/reservoirs/acrylic-tank-reservoir-for-laing-d5

Supports one Laing D5 pump
G1/4″ Thread
Dimensions: 121.5 x 72 x 90mm
High Quality Acrylic
1x 5mm LED hole
Individually pressure tested
Capacity 210ml

I have not seen any reviews of this res so any one know of any?

Also it should be noted that XSPC says that Maximum water temperature: 50C. Acrylic will deform at 60C. ????

So that means that you could not do any safe overclock that goes over 60c?? That sounds just a bit silly....

Water temperature will be much lower than your CPU/GPU temps mate, unless of course you have a horribly inadequate loop for a load of hot running components.

Remember the water will always be cooler than the thing it is cooling (otherwise no heat transfer will occur), so as long as you have an adequate amount of rad space your water temp will not get that high. You have no need to worry about the thing deforming.

If your water is approaching 60 degrees C you have a serious problem with your loop!

The fluid is never as hot as the components it's cooling down, otherwise it wouldn't work

Sry I was thinking of the CPU temps not the actual water temps...

How about any review on this res? Must be a bi**h to bleed...

That's why you put the res lower than the rest of the loop. Makes it easier to bleed.

I don't suppose you ever bought or found any reviews for these did you?
I've been looking at it myself for my first loop, trying to avoid a bayres/pump combo and wanted something different.

Also for a draining point of view, I'd imagine you could stick a T junction fitting on there and have a Tap coming off it for easy drainage right?
