Had this water cooling kit for 1 and half years. This pump is audibly the loudest part of my computer and it always runs at 100%. I swapped the pins on the molex connector to run it at 5v which still pumped adequately and runs nearly silent. After 1.5 years running about 10 hours a day since the pump has greatly reduced flow. Such damage isn't unexpected for such a large undervolt for that amount of time. I have bought a different replacement pump, but I will be reusing all of the other parts.
I would recommend this product only if you aren't concerned about the noise since undervolting isn't a long term solution.

Hands down, for $40, this pump is 100% worth it's price.
So my custom loop consists of ALL EK watercooling parts. For the second time however, my EK pump/res died. I've now learned a very valuable lesson for anyone who wants to get into custom loops, that has somehow had to happen twice for me to learn, ALWAYS have a spare pump. For this purpose, this pump/res combo is perfect. It's a good pump, it works. It's pretty quiet, and it comes with everything you need, though the fittings do seem a little cheap so I didn't use them. But as of right now this pump is feeding my custom loop that is cooling my Threadripper 1900x, the Asus Zenith Extreme motherboard, etc. EK is sending out yet another replacement pump however, which will go back in when it arrives, and this pump will be thoroughly cleaned and placed in a big comfy box wrapped in bubble wrap for the next time it's needed.Hands down, for $40, this pump/res combo is 100% worth it's price. If you're wondering if it's decent, yes it really is. The only con I would say is that it isn't PWM controlled, or voltage controlled, it literally plugs into a molex connector and runs at 100% all the time. It does so quietly, but it probably doesn't need to run at 100%, and will probably not last as long as a PWM pump/res because of it. But at this price you could just buy another one really.

So I got this pump/reservoir combo because my AIO went out. The build quality is amazing. But, the molex power connector comes wired up to 5V and this pump needs 12V. So after tearing apart my entire loop looking for a block I come to fund out the pump was only getting 5V. After wiring it up to 12V it really came to life. Pump is going through CPU water block, into a 360mm rad, into a 240mm rad and back to drain. It pumps the flow great. There are some small bubbles spitting back into the reservoir and I believe causing a very small clatter sound. Overall for the price it's a great starter pump/res combo. Also please note it does come with 2 plugs and 2 barb fittings. The plugs are great, the barbs are too small and junk.
Packing included pump with molex power cable, reservoir with top, mounting brackets, screws, 2 plugs and 2 (junk) barb fittings.
I've only had it running for a day, will update down the road!

fantastic price, works fairly well. This product is very, very noisy though. That may not seem like a big issue but I tend to get head aches more frequently using my computer now.
