Enermax NEOChanger 200ml RGB LED Reservoir and Pump Kits with Remote Control, Synchronisable RGB Lighting via Motherboard, ELC-NC100RGB

I've had my NEOchanger for about a week or two and I couldn't be happier. I made the switch from an EK pump/reservoir combo and I don't think I'll be going back anytime soon. ENERMAX definitely put a lot of time and effort to engineering the best pump/reservoir combo on the market. Not only does it push a lot of water but it's almost whisper quiet; even on the highest setting of 4000rmp the pump is as quiet as a low hum. Most pump/reservoir combos on the market don't have any LEDs but this one is FUL RGB! Controlling the pump it self is very simple as well. ENERMAX has included a compact remote that controls the pump speeds and the RGB functions so If you want to ramp up the pump from 2000-4000rmp you simple push the button for whatever speed you want. Most pumps require software or checking your motherboard bios to see what speed it's at but the NEOchaner has its own LCD screen right on it that shows exactly what speed it's set to. The RGB control is simple as well, the remote has different colored buttons for whatever color you want. Maybe you don't want a solid color for your PC you can set your colors to "flash" or a "breathing" setting that adds a great touch to your resevoir. I'm also impressed by the build of the NEOchanger. It's got 5mm thick plexiglass for the reservoir and a solid metal base on the pump so it feels very sturdy. When it comes to tubing the NEOchanger has three ports, one outlet, one inlet(with a downstem) and one fill port which I really like a lot. Something that I found different, but really like, is the fact that ENERMAX used a SATA connection for power and not a molex connection. It's a very high quality braided cable that is very simplistic but durable. Another thing I love about the RGB on the NEOchanger is it also has a 4pin connection that can connect to a header on your motherboard that controls RGB functions. All in all I'm definitely happy with the NEOchanger and definitely reccomend this product.

10/1/18 -- UPDATE ---- So last night I noticed my fans were blasting at idle --- then I notice the RPM on my Enermax NEOChanger is reading 0 -> 30 -> 0 -> 30 -> etc. and the pump isn't moving any coolant at all. I reboot my computer to see if it resolves any power issues and nothing ... it boots and as I log into Windows it undergoes a thermal shutdown. So this thing worked for about 5 months and from the reviews I've read today regarding others that have had the same issue as mine, i'm not even going to attempt to contact support. I'm NOT going to pay for shipping for a device that should be completely covered under warranty, nor am I going to waste my time and have my computer down for weeks at a time with no communication from Enermax. I'll just purchase an EK one. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PIECE OF JUNK!This Reservoir / Pump combo works just as described. It's powerful and the RGB on it works well with my Asus Aura setup. It's nice that it has the remote to adjust the pump speed -- it does get noticeably louder as the RPMs go higher. I leave mine at 3090 RPM and it works just great and is not noisy at that speed. I hear the top portion of the reservoir has an aluminum content in it so be careful if you are mounting it sideways as you may get unwanted mixed metals in your loop and cause corrosion. I have mine mounted upright and have not had any issues with corrosion using distilled water + UV Dye. The one negative I have found is that it doesn't have a dedicated drain port. I had to put a "Y" fitting on the "out" port in order to add a drain port setup on it.

Currently leak testing. Took a bit of planning since the out line is placed directly on the back of the tube. Because of this, if you're going soft tubing like I did I would suggest a 45 or maybe even 90 degree fitting to reach your component. My case "thermaltake view 31" doesnt have a good spot to be able to hang it even if I drilled holes so I couldn't go that route. The fill port was in a good spot at the top closest to me. The lights are pretty bright even on the lowest settings mainly at the very bottom where the LEDs originate and don't have anything but flash and breath. Not many colors to choose from either but you can turn it off and lower the brightness if needed. Wish it had a rainbow affect or a color change affect but for the price and how well it does it's not bad. Btw I'm using the EKWB A240G fluid gaming kit on recommendations that this pump should not interfere with the aluminum in the setup so I'll let you guys know what happens.I'll update with more after a week or two of usage, here's hoping it doesn't explode.

I haven't had much luck with this! Had one day to get this water cooling loop completed and I'm left out in the dark with what seems to be the cheapest quality remote on the market! I can't get the pump to respond to the remote which means the RPM stays to low to even bleed the system! Sad that a $10 RGB strip has a better quality remote then a product thats responsible for cooling a $2500 PC! NOT IMPRESSED, now I'm stuck waiting four days for a replacement! Hopefully this helps someone in the future! BTW the RGB's seen working is the controller from the $10 light strip, and did you notice the board broken! i7 7700k and the Strix 1080ti OC edition!Update: picked up another kit Locally, opened the box pulled the remote out and the pump it self works great! But it took me two kits and I had a third on stand by! Given it two stars based on my loss productivity, 100mile round trip to buy another kit locally, and that awful remote! Maybe install a switch on the pump to override the remote kinda like a D5!
