Enermax NEOChanger 300ml RGB LED Reservoir and Pump Kits with Remote Control, Synchronisable RGB lighting via Motherboard, ELC-NC150RGB

Love these, for the price they are great. I bought 2 of them as I have the Thermaltake Tower 900 case which is designed to have 2 separate loops in it. The RGB lighting works well, and the brightness can be adjusted, the remote to change the colours and set it flashing or fading etc works great. The pump does it's job just fine, the flow seems consistent and good, my temps are good. Really happy with this product.

Arrived very quick.Did not work out of the box

Very Very good pump, got two of these in my thermaltake tower 900 case, they perform brilliant and are very quiet

This product needs to be recalled or at least stop being sold until it's been redesigned and the new version fixes and resolves all of the hugely glaring issues it has - It's DANGEROUS!*Very long review* (TL;DR version at the end)This reservoir and pump combo has so much potential, it looks great, has a pump speed digital reader, RGB lights, a remote control for the RGB and pump speed, different sizes, good mounting and number of inlet/outlets, extra accessories and of course... a low price. On paper, it looks like a fantastic deal, but as the phrase goes; "if it looks too good to be true... it probably is."THE PUMP:I looked at a couple of reviews on this pump/res combo before buying mine, the reviews were really good. Now, I'm not sure if Enermax sent out cherrypicked review samples or if they paid for good reviews but something is wrong, something smells very suspicious.Firstly, the reviews I read said this had a Laing D5 pump, which is one of, if not the best pump on the market, I've owned a D5 and they're fantastic. Sadly, this was a lie or the reviewers were tricked/misinformed by Enermax. This does not have a D5 pump, it could not be further from a D5 pump; it's loud as hell (it sounds like bad coil whine and a phone vibrating on a desk), it doesn't pump anywhere near as much water as a D5 pump, in fact, the water didn't even look like it was flowing until the pump was at roughly 2000rpm - and after just 3 days it started to get louder and louder, then on the fifth day catastrophic failure! The pump died, luckily I was just watching a movie at the time, if I had been out the room or the system was under high load I could have been looking at a fried and dead system. I was happily sitting here when my fans started to spin up and quickly got louder and louder, so I paused the movie and checked my hardware monitoring app on the taskbar - Core temp = 87c at idle and increasing by around 1-2c per second! I knew something was seriously wrong as the system has never been over 60c even under full synthetic CPU and GPU load, I didn't have time to shutdown properly as the temp was pushing 100c after just a few seconds, so I had to pull the power plug from the socket.I let things cool down for 30mins while I checked and looked around for leaks, air blockages, water blocks not sitting correctly... anything that could have caused the issue. Then I switch the system back on and booted straight into the BIOS, and yet with 30mins of cooling down and just idling in the BIOS my core temp was at 65c and rising fast, so I knew at this point the pump was dead or at least was not working. What confirmed this to be fact was the pump RPM indicator screen was flickering random numbers.This could have destroyed my system or added a huge amount of wear and tear to the components from excessive heat shorten their life.After it died I did some more research which is when I discovered I was misinformed (lied to) and in fact, the pump is a cheapo, made in Taiwan piece of rubbish and has an extremely high failure rate when compared to Laing and other reputable pump manufacturers.THE RESERVOIR:Upon draining the loop to take out the pump/res to discover what the hell had happened, as I unscrewed the plug (stopper) at the top of the res to allow air in to drain it... water started dripping out from underneath, luckily it was not above any component so no water made contact with anything except the case. Once the loop was drained and I'd removed the pump/res I unscrewed the cylinder from the base (pump housing) and sure enough... 2 large (8-10mm) cracks right through the acrylic and about 20 other micro-fractures too.The main cylinder is either made from cheap low-grade acrylic and/or very thin acrylic. I've owned many tube (cylinder) reservoirs over the years, from expensive Bitspower ones, to cheap no brand ones from eBay - the quality varies but they all at least feel solid, the cylinder was made from quite thick and solid acrylic, no give, no movement or flex in the cylinder... but not with the Enermax NEOChanger, oh no, the main cylinder feels like it's made from the same plastic (acrylic) that childrens clear rulers are made from, remember them, we all had one in our pencil cases, strong-ish plastic but flexable and easy to snap/crack. That's what this reservoir cylinder feels like, if you give it a gentle squeeze between your fingers it feels like it would shatter.And where the threads are cut to screw on the cap and pump housing, of course, the threads cut away some of the acrylics depth making it extremely thin and fragile.I've been water cooling since before dedicated water cooling components were a thing, back when we had to use plumbing parts, pumps from fish tanks and plastic fittings with cable ties, so I know how to use and handle things, I take care of my stuff, I do not overtighten things, I'm not heavy handed and clumsy, this is a manufacturing and/or material quality issue.This is serious Enermax! If I hadn't seen it when I did, or if my system had a different layout with the pump/res mounted above a component, I would now be looking at hundreds/thousands of pounds worth of damage from a dead PC, or even a damn fire or electric shock! A small handful of failures I can understand, all products have some issues, but literally every retailer that sells the Enermax NEOChanger has 50% or more negative reviews and complaints about the exact same reasons - catastrophic pump failures and cylinder cracks/fractures leading to leaks and dead components from water damage.THE TOP RESERVOIR CAP:I'll keep this one brief, the top screw cap on the reservoir is made from Aluminium, this is my own fault I missed this detail when reading about it at the time. Further reading and checking reveals that Enermax claim the Aluminium is anodised, claiming this means it's perfectly safe and no Aluminium contacts water/liquid in the loop as the anodised coating protects it. WTF! It doesn't work like that, even a high school chemistry student could tell you that! The ions will still leach into the water/liquid.Aluminium does Not mix with other metals, whether that be Copper or Brass, and no amount of anti-corrosive will completely stop it from eventually corroding and leading to a failure of a radiator, fittings and/or water block. There is a good reason why every other water cooling manufacturer explicitly labels all water cooling parts with the warning: "Do not mix Aluminium parts with Copper or Brass parts".CONCLUSION:This product is seriously and dangerously defective, I'm not exaggerating here, water pouring onto electrical components is going to, at best, kill your PC or maybe even cause a fire or electric shock. This does and has happened over the years, I think we all know the risks of water cooling but are willing to do it because we believe the companies designing, making and selling these dedicated parts know what they are doing and make sure they are safe, reliable and fit for use.I understand they (Enermax) were going for a cool looking, feature packed but also cheap pump/res combo, but for goodness sake you can save money on fewer accessories in the box, cheaper materials for the mounting bracket, no remote, no RGB... there are plenty of ways to reduce the cost/price, but skimping for low-grade and/or thin acrylic, plus a cheap and unreliable pump, the two things that *Must* be of good quality, that's just stupid and moronic.Increase the price, even by 50+% to £150-£160, replace the pump with a Laing D5 and increase the thickness and/or quality of the acrylic for the cylinder, and swap the stupid Aluminium top cap for an Acetal one and you would have a fantastic, incredible product that customers would love and throw money at.Sadly, it seems Enermax doesn't care about their customers at all as they are refusing to refund customers that received one of these defective pump/res combos, they also seem to be ignoring the large and constantly increasing number of complaints regarding failures of this product and destroying peoples computers by keeping it on the shelves and selling it.What's it going to take Enermax - when one of these fails and leaks everywhere causing a house fire, will you then address these obvious and blatant defects caused by cutting corners on the most crucial parts?!TL;DR:This product needs to be recalled or stop being sold - it's defective in many ways and dangerous (risk of damage to PC components, electric shock and/or fire in a worst case).* Cheap pump, made in Taiwan (£10 off eBay sort of thing) high failure rate* A huge number of pump failures* Low-grade and/or thin acrylic used for the main cylinder, so bad in many cases it's fractured and cracked straight out of the box even before use* Aluminum parts which cause serious corrosion to Copper and Brass radiators, fittings and blocks* Terrible (don't care) customer service (many report they were refused a refund - or RMA'd it but had to wait over a month for a replacement)Don't take my word for it, just Google it, look at the owner's groups on overclockers .net, Linus tech tips and forums like that, look at the retailers selling these they all have 50% negative reviews or more because of a huge number of failures even before install or use.

This thing is pimp. Yes its aluminum lid booo, but there are ways around that. Teflon tape the threads and get a piece of rubber with one side adhesive and fit it to the bottom of the lid. Boom problem solved. Been running it for 1 1/2 months non stop at 3150rpm not one issue. Oh and i just figured this out dont plug in the led 4 pin micro connector to your motherboard unless you have sync it will dim the led or if you notice the led is weak that is your issue and that is how to fix it. Unplug it and the colors are deep took me 5 weeks to figure that out after I removed all the parts from my pc to do an inspection. Run the pump at 3500 max. I noticed when I hooked it up it was going 5500 rpm till I slowed it down. So this thing has power. No leaks. I think that happens because people try to remove the cylinder, but its all fixed just the lid can be removed. Item does not come with hoses or fittings just caps.

I was skeptical buying this for my first custom cooling loop. I had worries the pump included would not be up to par. I was wrong though. It's powerful, moves a lot of water quickly. Best if all is that it's virtually silent. The remote makes it pretty sweet but I'd like to see some kind of software implementation to control pump speed. The reservoir itself is a great design. The tube coming down into it reduces splashing and rebounding water which means better flow in the system. The display in front for the pump rpm is also a nice unexpected addition. To those curious this also comes with a atx power bridge to test out your system before powering everything on. Will be recommending to everyone. Also to avoid a bunch of tiny bubbles on the inside wall of the reservoir use highly filtered expensive only. I used home filtered water to test first so I have clinging bubbles in my picture.

Originaly bought 2 400ml. 1 started leaking from the bottom at the remote control sensor 15min into leak testing. Bought 2 more to replace that 1 and have a spare as I didn't want to have to change my piping. Then the other original ones LEDs went for crap. Ended up just throwing all 4 away and changed everything to Thermaltake
