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

    So I finally got to install my aquanaut yesterday but I am having so much trouble trying to get the air out of the pump block. May tips on how to do it or did it all come down to turning and rotating the case?

    Curiously, when everyone was assembling their aquanaut, did they screw the acrylic pieces down enough so they are touching or have people left a gap between them? I'm worried about over tightening them and breaking my block again but also worried they might not be tight enough.

    So received my new aquanaut today, assembled and I haven't broken it this time! Very relieved. I was super worried about doing it again. Has anyone made anyone done any testing with the jet plate yet?

    Here I am living in Australia thinking how crazy it sounds to have to pay tax to get it released from customs on something I'm buying from overseas like that. We only have to pay tax on items over $1000 that we import.

    Have you already started shipping out the new screws? As I'm waiting for the second one after I broke the first, I'm using the one I have to mock up my loop. I'm still waiting for another fitting to arrive before I can say for sure but I believe the current screws will interfere with where I...

    EK discontinued that pump sadly. As mentioned above, you would have to rewrite it yourself into the one four pin fan header.

    Mine has completely cracked off unfortunately. Definitely no longer usable. https://ibb.co/021yY4k

    So word of warning to everyone - DO NOT tighten the screws holding the block together too much. I thought I had screwed them up okay, looked fine after doing assembling it. But came back half hour later and the bottom corner of where one of the threads are has cracked off ? I've ordered a second...

    Received my aquanaut today! Question is, do I use the included her plate? Has anyone done any tests yet?

    What are people's issue with the mounting screws?

    I believe it will work. Seems someone has already fitted that mount to the block.

    So for anyone interested, I just found an old EK DDC 3.2. Measurement from heatsink to top of the base is 28mm which would give a total height of 52mm. I also have a swiftech MCP355 which has no heatsink and is 21mm which would give a total height of 45mm.

    When you get time, would you be able to tell me the height of the whole unit? Here's hoping it's 55mm or under!

    Ordered one today! I had been searching for a suitable pump/block combo for the last few weeks and saw a post about this on Reddit. Couldn't have come at a better time! Should be a perfect snug fit for my sm580 once the new AMD CPUs come out. I saw from a previous post the the total height of...
