Ethanh100 :
Yeah sorry i didnt see it was a d5 pump. Like rubix said make sure there is a place for the air inside the loop to escape to be replaced by the fluid.
I left the cap to the reservoir open and I just tried going into the bios only to find out that my PC is not posting.

I would think you'd want to jumper your PSU if your loop isn't filled and leak tested...why are you going into the BIOS? Can you connect the pump to a Molex or SATA power? Not sure why people use PWM settings for pumps - there's no need to use PWM on a watercooling pump; if anything, use PWM on the radiator fans if you really want to. Just let a pump run at the speed its configured to run - don't make it oscillate up and down the RPM range.
Jumper your ATX plug from your PSU for filling your loop. - use a bent paper clip, insert into the plug (powered off) - green to any black.
Does your reservoir drain when switched on? Is the reservoir higher than the pump inlet, or is it a bay/res/pump unit?

I'll attempt to jump my PSU as well; should I also take out the fan pin on the motherboard during the process? Also, the return value is higher than the pump, yet the fluid isn't draining from the return. It seems like it's a combined res pump setup.

Sure, I can list your loop order and components. Or, if you'd prefer, you can share a photo.

I'm not sure about how to upload a photo that gets rejected. It seems like the system is rejecting it for some reason.

I think the problem could be with the res/pump combo - those parts are tough to prime. You mentioned it's an EK res/pump combo, does it have a priming port? Your DDC/res/pump has a port that lets you prime it before it pushes water.

I'm not certain this matches the device you possess

UPDATE: When I jump my PSU the pump does not turn on at all

How the pump is linked to power is unclear. It seems unlikely because the ATX power isn't routed through the motherboard or Molex. Fans and other components don't seem to be spinning.

How is the pump connected to power? The motherboard or Molex? If so, it probably isn't going to work since the ATX power isn't connected to the MB.
Do fans, etc come on? Drives spin?
Its powered by the molex and the molex is connected directly to the PSU. Fans on the rad turn on just fine. The is a 4 pin fan connect that is attached to the pump that is not connected to anything at the moment.
