I am working on designing a custom water loop using a DDC pump and plan to start with just a CPU. I already have a DDC pump with a heatsink, but I noticed an EK DDC pump top that seems to fit well. However, I found the pump mounting location but not a way to connect a reservoir directly to the pump without a small male-to-male 1/4 inch connector. Also, except for a bitspower upgrade kit, I’m struggling to locate a mount that connects the reservoir tubing straight to the DDC pump top without needing a special adapter. I was wondering if there are any resources or guides I could refer to? Many systems avoid using the male-to-male connector, but I’m new to this and would appreciate any advice. Here’s a summary of my current ideas and the systems I’ve seen that don’t rely on it:

They produce DDC reservoir and pump top components.

They offer DDC reservoir/pump tops. I was searching for something similar to a cylinder reservoir with a round or square base, where the pump sits without any gap, like the ones seen with d5 pumps. I’m planning to use a male/male G1/4 connector.

Yes, those are DDC reservoir tops. They create those connections. The link I shared includes many of them.
