Thank you very much, you helped me a lot I will update my shopping list now, so that I can finally proceed with the order

Thank you for the answer, it was very helpful. So, if I go with this Aquacomputer D5 I need to pair it with a proper top. Would this + an aqualis res work, or do I need something more? One more thing, I see this pump has a max wattage of 37W, then I guess I should also use a Poweradjust2, right?

Hello, I am about to start building my first watercooling loop, and I plan on using an Aquaero 6. I still need to pick a pump and I want to go either with the Aquastream XT or the compact 600 ultra, so that I can connect the pump to the Aquaero 6 via aquabus. However I am not sure what's the difference between the two pump modules, except that the compact can be mounted with an aqualis top. I tried to look at the manuals, but I couldn't find any comparison. Can anybody enlighten me? Thanks carma...
