Well ye pobably a good idea on the mounts to stop vibrations tho I can hardly talk (mine's loose on the floor that's awaiting the finishing for the case)
Re: the pump - just put it at the lowest point in the loop
Re: the pump - just put it at the lowest point in the loop
It depends, noise caused by vibrations can be much louder than the pump 'whine' itself. If you're mounting the DDC in a drive bay you can use a Damper Kit (might depend on your top though), some Gel-Stuff or just use some foam/packaging lying about.

I used Velcro on one of my pumps
All
My setup is being installed tomorrow and I need more advice. My PSU is located beneath my gfx cards as shown below:
The picture shows an elbow joint used to route pipe over the top of the psu because a normal bend is impossible due to the close promity of the psu. My questions is:
Should I use a similar elbow or shall i have the outlet from the lower gfx block coming out from the same side as the inlet.....thus keeping the tubing well away from the psu and would probably be better for flow rates.
Thanks in advance guys.

Yeah, there doesn't seem to be a generous amount of space between the gfx cards and I think putting the outlet on the same side as the inlet will put too much torque on the outlet tubing/barb.
I know 90° connectors are considered bad for flow rate but when you have that many blocks in your loop what difference will adding one more 90° bend make?

IDK it still might be too close for comfort. If it's not too much bother then I guess you could do a 'dry run' to find out if the tubing fits OK this way. If it's too tight or looks clumsy then go with the 90° connector.
Good luck with your build, I can't wait to see the final pics! :rocker:
The idea is that after the restriction of most blocks, why add more
That's true, but if using a 1/2" 90° connector makes routing your loop easier and neater then I wouldn't lose any sleep over any extra restriction.

Aye....
Had some trouble fitting the cpu water block....one of the holes on the plate (silver section of the block) was a tad small...so required some gentle encouragement to slide the block down the scres which act as mounting pillars. All sorted.
NOTE to other STORM owners -- how tight should I have the nuts which keeps pressure on the springs which push the block down onto the CPU?
