Know before you buy
No, this is a pump top (volute) only. You will need to install your own genuine D5 pump motor into the housing to complete the unit.
This unit uses a standard 3-pin 5V D-RGB connector, which is compatible with most major motherboard RGB sync technologies. Please ensure your motherboard header is 5V, as connecting it to a 12V header will damage the LEDs.
Yes, the fully rounded design and included vibration-reducing mounting clamp allow you to install the pump in any orientation, supporting both horizontal and vertical tube routing.
The CNC-machined POM acetal is highly durable and resistant to the chemicals used in liquid cooling loops. It provides a robust, leak-resistant housing that also helps dampen noise compared to acrylic alternatives.
The Inertia D5 body is engineered to optimize flow, offering up to a 15% increase in hydraulic performance compared to stock D5 pump tops.
The design includes easy access to the LED strip, allowing you to replace it without needing to disassemble the entire pump housing or loop.
