I purchased an Alphacool AGB ES Reservoir 1U - DDC Pump Top Version and had a lot of trouble finding a pump to go with it. I finally found an Alphacool 13178 Laing DDC310 - Single Edition but I'm not convinced this is the right pump.
This is for a 1U project, so everything has to be under 40mm in height and the pump I have is too tall only because of the cooling fins. In addition to that though, it is fairly loud. The noise is water noise though, not electronic or metallic sounds. Last issue is that I found a spec sheet on the alphacool site and if I'm reading this right, this pump isn't supposed to be mounted with the cooling fins on top and the circular part of the pump on the bottom.
(Update: The water noise has mostly gone away. I think that was from a bunch of micro bubbles in the loop. As those have floated out, the pump has gotten much quieter. Still don’t think this pump is supposed to be mounted upside down.)
The product picture for the reservoir has a note of: Montagebeispiel (example of installation), but I do not know what that means.
Searching for "DDC pump" only finds that one Laing pump that I purchased. If this is not the right pump to use however, then where can I find the right pump for this 1U reservoir?
Thanks in advance!
