Whats a good way to mount Laing DDC 1-T Pro?

[Chaltharr]

I am currently having a look around the interweb for a Vibration freeish way to mount my Laing DDC 1-T Pro pump.

Seen some things like the Shoggy Sandwich and Petras Gelstuff but not really liking the look.

Seen some people using the Anti-Vibration Rubber Bolts but not been able to find any videos or pictures of that in use up close. Also curious as to how much of the vibration it can handle (remove). Anybody tried those?

Also seen some of the mounts/stands but i think those build to much. Trying to keep the pump with as small a footprint as i can manage.

There may also be other ways to mount the pumps and i am open to suggestions.

I plan to mount the pump with a Bitspower res top just above the power-supply of my Obsidian 800D.

Comments, pictures or even vids be greatly appreciated.

Well with water cooling you need to be willing to try new things and experiment to see what fits your needs. what I experimented with was tracing the shape of the pump on a cloth rubber mouse pad I had lying around once you have the shape cut it out, then use double sided tape to keep it on the pump. You don't always have to go out of your way to buy something to fit your needs when the easiest solutions are right in front of you.

Used all sorts over the years. Last build used the dampners ( bolts ) and they wernt bad. Currently using some really high quality foam placed where the pump mounts to the case. This stuffs about 40mm thick and used as sound dampning on air con extraction units in buildings/ offices.

I'll try get some shots up later.

Note: you won't ever get rid of the Laing typical motor whine/ rattle / noise whatever you want to call it but when you eliminate the vibration they cause it's hardly noticeable.

The high quality foam sounds very interesting! Pictures would be great if you have them. My pump was delivered without any bolts or vibration dampening at all. will also see if i have an old thick mousepad about to test that out.

I've tried every mounting option I can find with mine and its cost me loads to find out they are still noisey. However having all the crap means you can slam it all together for a half breed that actually works. The quietest way I found was using a HDD drive 5.25" bay mounting kit that was basically rubber door stops screwed to angled metal and the rubber touched allowing around 3/4" of squishy goodness to try and shut the damn thing up. Minor problem was it didnt fit in the lower section of my TJ07 but while on my desk I could barely hear it.
