Mcp655 D5 Res/Pump Combo Conversion

[babelmh13]

Getting pretty aggravated trying to figure this out at this point.

So I have a Swiftech MCP655 OEM w/ speed control. I have a Bitspower Z-Multi 250ml res. In my current build inlet and outlet are on the bottom. I want to utilize what I already have and get the necessary parts to achieve the second photo (doesnt need to be Bitspower) but I want inlet outlet on the bottom and I'm not sure that I've found the correct adapter to do that..

I've been researching in circles for two days...

You will need to buy a new reservoir.

Just search "D5 Reservoir".

So I bought this stuff arriving today which I THINK should accomplish what I'm trying to do...

I'll report back for anyone that may be interested in doing the same thing (though I doubt many are trying to hold on to such old components like I am)

It may work. The biggest issue are most brands reservoir tubes are not the same size/thread etc.

You may just want to order the full Protium reservoir without the pump. Saving the tube while buying the more expensive pump adapter and cover seems counterproductive.

Good luck let us know how it turns out.

Might be less expensive to just get an "upgrade kit," which is $49 on ppcs (less for the shorter version). Make sure you don't get the DDC version.

Edit: Way less, didn't realize he already made a purchase though. Hope that works out for ya, see links above if it don't.

You were correct, the Bitspower Z-Multi 250 V1 res tube is not the same thread pattern as the Singularity Protium 3.0 pump top.. I was hoping it was standardized like G 1/4 fittings are..

Upon opening these components, the Protium 3.0 pump top screw holes did NOT align with the Protium 3.0 vertical stand bracket holes... Rather odd considering both packages were sealed from Singularity and said 3.0 on them. I reached out to PPCs about a return.

I may go back to the pump upgrade route you suggested. I've been confused about the one hole thats sits IN the reservoir, that functions as the port for flow in AND out?

The hole in the center is always the inlet (that is, where the water is sucked into the pump impeller). If you look at the pump top adapter (the square part in the product photo), you'll see there are two holes in it. The round part with one hole is the cap for the tube.

I don't know why they show the bottom of the adapter, it's an odd choice imo.
