    Production Aquanaut Basic/Extreme - Ultra Low Profile CPU Block & Pump Mount Combo

    No Problem! Glad to help. From my fitting, the 90 degree Rotary 10x16 Should fit directly on Aquanaut. Standard 10x16 do not, The compression nut is slightly too large and will hit the DDC. You should also be fine height wise, I don't think the normal 90 10x16 is too much taller than the low...

    Nope, I haven't found it necessary. In normal use I run the pump at 15% pwm and even with the fans spinning at an inaudible speed, the pump casing never exceeds 30 C. If anything, i'll probably 3d print a casing with airflow holes to allow air to flow around the armature.
