Looks amazing
Works great and quiet. had one small hiccup few days after installing. pump stopped working tho was no big problem took pump out and cleaned the ceramic ball in it. Have had 0 problems since.

No significant problems
The reservoir is watertight, assuming you make the connections properly, and the pump is quiet on its highest setting. That's the most important things to me. The inlet tube makes sure air trapped at the top of the reservoir doesn't get entrained into the water flow and circulated out into the system. It's a common feature on reservoirs, but some don't have a long enough tube. The mounting is a little clunky, I mount it to the floor of the case and I don't need the vertical mount bracket sticking out the back and making it look part finished. The pump wiring is long and colorful, which doesn't go with the black wiring on the cap. The pump/reservoir comes with a USB hub with another Molex connector, seems like they could have done something to reduce the wiring. It also comes with a micro USB cable for connecting to the motherboard. Fortunately my motherboard has plenty of USB connectors, and I don't need any of the conventional USB headers, so this wasn't a problem. In my case the pump drives water through two water blocks, two large radiators, and an inline mesh filter rapidly enough to keep the exit temperatures from the water blocks down to 10C over ambient. If I need another reservoir/pump this would be high on my list. I bought it on sale, so it was an easier choice at that time.

Good construction, great performance
Mounting was simple, and I love the tube that comes in the top. It comes on the 2 setting, but my gosh it moves some water. I barely had time to flip the switch to shut it off before the water was gone. As a result, I'm seeing really low temps. My 7700K games at 44-50C instead of 55-60 like I use to see on my Photon D5. It's visually appealing to look at and really gets the job done.

Wanted to give it 5 stars.
The media could not be loaded. The pump is high quailty. Thick glass, Silent, beautiful.Why the knock on 1 star? The RGB controller and software is garbage.I have spent more time troubleshooting the controller and software more than any other component in this custom waterloop. It worked intermittently for a while, and now it does not recognize in the software at all.I have sent Thermaltake an email and left a voicemail on their support line for a new RGB controller..Hopefully a new RGB controller unit will fix issue, and this one is just a fluke.. Will update review if/when I get a new controller.

DDC pump failed after three months
The ThermalTake DDC pump reservoir combo was straightforward in terms of filling. The installation was a nightmare and the wires coming out of the pump left a lot to be desired in terms of strength and quality. The pump is noisy and getting bubbles/foam in the fluid is way too easy.I've been water-cooling my PCs for a long time (Koolance never let me down) and I've never had a pump fail this fast. This particular pump/res was part of a dedicated loop for my GTX 3080. The only indication I had that something had gone wrong was my video card would turn off after a minute (DisplayPort signal drop) even when in the BIOS. The fatal mistake I made was not setting a shutdown alarm up on pump RPM signal missing. That wouldn't have helped when in the BIOS as there is no way to set that for any of the other motherboard headers besides the CPU related ones. Fortunately the 3080 did not fry itself. I had something similar happen a few days ago that "went away" on its own, so this is not a simple working / not working situation.The moral of this long story is this:Always have a dedicated hardware based flow meter (visual is better than nothing) and avoid products with DDC pumps, like this one.

RGB is complicated to setup, but pump is working
Pros:1. Nice looking, be sure to add at least 80% to reservoir.It’s very quiet when it doesn’t have to work hard so make sure once again that you have added about 80% to the reservoir. **** I can’t stress this enough. If you turn the pump on and water is still being sucked down the reservoir it isn’t quite full yet**** it’s loud when it needs coolant but quiet when it doesn’t.2. My configuration: I added a bitspower T-valve to my outlet port at the bottom, straight off the pump. This is working great. I let it bleed for 24 hours with the fill port open to remove bubbles.Cons:1. The instructions are horrible. I have the plus model. I still don’t know how to use the RGB cap, theirs a controller and a whole bunch of cables that made my head hurt. If I figure it out I’ll update on how I got mine working.2. I’m coming from a EKWB kit and the only reason I can’t use that one is because the case Thermaltake 900 doesn’t have holes pre-drilled for other reservoir/combos but their own.3. No header controls. This is running off a molex connection from your power supply. Be sure to use a jumper to do testing. Not necessary but be efficient.4. I don’t believe the lid comes off on the Plus RGB model. I could be wrong but I didn’t risk forcefully taking it offTip: if you get some leakage near the outlet port and you have a drain valve running on it, tighten it the best you can with some gripped pliers if possible. You should see your o-ring at all.Update(05/12/2020): I set my pump to 5-speed.My radiator is a 240mm CoolstreamUPDATE: Stopped after a year. Loud grinding noise and now I think it might have burnt up my CPU. I’m deeply saddened.

Good flow rate
The media could not be loaded. Just put this in my Tower 900 and looks good instead of my bitspower pump reservoir whitch had no mount on the base. Ill install it in my nephews PC. When i started to fill it i dredded having to turn this mini fridge of a pc on its side whitch would include disconnecting my stereo on top. However to my suprise it flushed itself out and the air went to the sump telling me i got a wicked awesome flowrate and the meeter is spinning way faster. This will be good when i get my 480 rad. Might get another pump and split the gpu and cpu

Excelente qualidade
A construção é muito boa.

Mala como ella sola
Una estafa, desde que la compre no aventaba tanta presión, el potenciómetro que regula las RPM estaba tan duro que termino roto al intentar moverlo, no me di cuenta porque cuando queria regular ya había montado y no había manera de modificar (esta en la parte de abajo el dichoso potenciómetro), para rematar el RGB requiere conector exclusivo de TT el que viene de stock falla mas que escopeta de feria, el premium sincroniza con ARG pero requiere conector sata de corriente

Outstanding pump reservoir combo
really pleased with pump reservoir combo, little overpriced thoughworks perfect lots of power and quiet too

Impressive little pump
Nice D5 pump/reservoir It's not too loud on speed setting 3. Perfect fit for my ITX build , cools my Ryzen 5800x CPU at idle 34c and peak load at 64c. Will have to see later when I add a GPU water block to my FTW3 Ultra 3080 as that can get pretty hot under load.Not disappointed at all with this pump.

Buena bomba si tienes un gran gabinete.
La construccion del producto es excelente, pero tiene dos problemas: es demaciado grande tengo un mid tower NZXT H700 y no entraba en el area designada para la bomba y de hecho en ningun lado salvo que la pusiera acostada sobre la fuente de poner (por lo que no lo hice) y la tuve que devolver, pero en las prubeas del look que hice el flujo fue constantes, y de gran capacidad, esta bomba es recomendable si tienes una high tower, la otra desventaja es que se conecta directo a la fuente de poder, poner una velocidad (entre 1 y 5) y ya no la regula la motherboard.
