XSPC pump and reservoir kit D5 with ARGB lighting, black — pump-reservoir combo

The XSPC pump and reservoir kit D5 with ARGB lighting, black is a pump-reservoir combo designed for custom liquid cooling loops. It integrates a D5-series pump with a compact reservoir and addressable RGB illumination in a matte black finish. The unit provides controlled coolant circulation, quiet operation typical of D5 pumps, and a visible coolant chamber to simplify filling and monitoring. This kit is intended for PC builders who require reliable flow control and coolant containment for CPU and GPU cooling in custom open-loop or advanced closed-loop configurations.

Advantages

The integrated design reduces installation complexity by combining pump and reservoir into a single assembly while maintaining pump performance and serviceability. ARGB lighting offers customizable illumination compatible with common motherboard controllers and external controllers, enabling synchronized system lighting. The pump delivers stable flow rates and quiet operation, and the reservoir allows easy bleeding and visual checks of coolant level without disassembly.

Suitable for

• Custom open-loop PC liquid cooling systems
• Advanced closed-loop or semi-custom cooling setups
• CPU and GPU cooling in high-performance workstations and gaming rigs
• System builders who want integrated ARGB lighting and a compact pump-reservoir solution

Key specifications

• Pump type: D5-series centrifugal pump designed for PC liquid cooling
• Reservoir: integrated vertical reservoir with visible coolant chamber for filling and monitoring
• Lighting: addressable RGB (ARGB) illumination compatible with standard ARGB controllers
• Finish: matte black housing suitable for most system color schemes
• Control: flow regulation supported through pump speed control (via compatible PWM or voltage methods depending on controller)
• Mounting: compact form factor for case mounting or bracket integration in custom loops

How to use

Mount the pump-reservoir assembly in a suitable location inside the case or on a mounting bracket that supports its dimensions, ensuring secure fastening and clear access to inlet and outlet ports. Connect the inlet and outlet to the loop using appropriate tubing and fittings, taking care to use compatible materials and correct orientation. Connect ARGB lighting to a compatible ARGB header or controller and connect the pump power and control leads to the appropriate fan or pump header on the motherboard or an external controller. Prime the loop by filling the reservoir slowly, run the pump at low speed to purge air, and top up the reservoir until the loop is fully bled and operating without air pockets.

Recommendations

Use high-quality coolant formulated for PC loops and compatible tubing and fittings to avoid corrosion or degradation. Regularly inspect the reservoir level, fittings and tubing for leaks or wear, and follow routine maintenance such as coolant replacement and system flushing at intervals recommended by coolant manufacturers. When adjusting ARGB lighting or pump speed, consult motherboard or controller documentation for proper synchronization and safe voltage limits.
