Alphacool Eisstation Reservoir and Laing DDC310 Pump

The Alphacool Eisstation DDC is a compact 250ml reservoir with the Alphacool Laing DDC310 pump included, 102 x 82 x 105 mm in size. Alphacool says that with it you get a reservoir that fits into nearly any case. The Eisstation comes in three different versions, a DDC, a D5 and a DC-LT version, and this is the DDC one.

Highlights

Alphacool's highlights are four: a cap made of sturdy Nylon, three versions for all current pumps, numerous mounting options, and an illuminated logo with LED mounting options. The three versions are suited for different pumps. Each pump is installed in the bottom of the reservoir and is not visible from the outside. That bottom is a metal plate that reduces vibrations and increases the stability of the whole unit.

Mounting possibilities

Alphacool calls the installation options numerous and comprehensive. The reservoir can be screwed onto a 2.5" SSD bracket, or mounted in a drive bay. In either case the special decoupling screws included are used for mounting it. This minimizes the transfer of vibrations to the case, lowering the operating volume significantly. Another installation option is the included Velcro fastener: one part is glued to the bottom of the Eisstation, while the other part is glued to the case. Then all that is left is to press the Eisstation's bottom against the corresponding Velcro on the case. According to Alphacool the size of the Velcro ensures secure positioning even during transport. It can sit vertically or horizontally, depending on personal taste and available space.

Connection possibilities

There are four possibilities for connection. An IN and an OUT with G1/4 threads are located on the top, next to the illuminated logo, and the logo's color can be changed with the optional modding kit. In the cap there is one G1/4 and one G3/8 connection available. With its larger size, the G3/8 connection simplifies filling and can also serve as a lighting module for 5mm LEDs. Two additional 5mm LED places can be found in the bottom of the reservoir, where they illuminate the water-filled portion from below.

What the loop needs

The pump is part of the scope of delivery. The loop adds two G1/4 fittings, one for the IN and one for the OUT, and a 3 pin connection each for the pump and for the LED logo.
