Tema: [Review] Roundup: Bay Reservoirs & Laing Tops !

Hey guys,

it's time for another roundup, this time about Laing tops and, as an added bonus, three XSPC Slot In 5,25" reservoirs for one or two Laing pumps. Older models as well as new ones will be featured in this overview.
As previous tests have shown, all Laing tops are very close when it comes to flowrates. In the results chart I'm going to display the highest rate achievement by every product in the setup "top in, front out", which is the only possibility for a few tops.
Event though they flowrates aren't too different, this can't be said about the noise: this is the reason why I want to present a small overview about it.
There aren't only the standard single Laing tops in this roundup, but also three Dual-Laing tops and even a Triple-Laing top! Also, because some users asked me to do it, there's also a comparison to two single tops.
As you can see, I did a lot to offer you a good roundup when it comes to Laing tops. There should be a top for everyone in here and I also added two older models, that aren't produced anymore, for comparison.
With all the tops in this review you should always check the correct mounting on the Laing pump, to avoid damage due to leaking water.
When removing the tops, I recommend to put the pump top down, so that no fluid can reach the pump itself when removing it.

Have fun with this roundup!
