Description
The Bitspower CR120 (BPM-WTCR120) redefines liquid cooling loop management with its innovative flat-profile design. Measuring 120x120x75.5mm, this reservoir-pump combo utilizes standard radiator mounting holes, allowing for seamless integration into almost any chassis that supports a 120mm fan. Equipped with the powerful Hercules pump, it delivers a maximum flow rate of 15 LPM and a 5.5m head pressure, ensuring efficient coolant circulation even in restrictive, multi-block systems.
This product is for:
- SFF (Small Form Factor) enthusiasts requiring a high-performance pump-res combo that fits in tight spaces.
- PC modders looking for a unique flat aesthetic to replace traditional cylindrical reservoirs.
- Performance-oriented builders who need the high head pressure of the Hercules pump for complex loops.
- Users seeking easy installation via standard 120mm radiator mounting points.
- Aesthetic-focused builders planning to integrate custom LED lighting modules for a centerpiece visual effect.

Installing the CR120 is remarkably straightforward due to its compatibility with 120mm fan mounts. Unlike traditional tube reservoirs that require dedicated mounting brackets and significant vertical or horizontal clearance, the CR120 sits flush against radiators or case panels. The Hercules pump provides a robust 15W of power, which is easily managed via PWM curves to balance silence and performance. The 80ml capacity is sufficient for air bleeding while maintaining a slim profile that does not obstruct other components like GPUs or RAM.
Compared to traditional cylindrical reservoirs like the Bitspower Water Tank Z-Multi series, the CR120 offers a significantly smaller footprint and easier mounting in modern compact cases. While cylindrical tanks offer higher fluid capacity, the CR120’s flat design is superior for builds where space is at a premium. Against standard D5 pump-tops, the integrated Hercules pump provides comparable head pressure (5.5m) in a more integrated, leak-resistant form factor that eliminates the need for extra fittings between the pump and reservoir.
Q&A:
- How do I mount the Bitspower CR120 in my PC case? The CR120 uses standard 120mm radiator screw holes, allowing it to be mounted anywhere a 120mm fan or radiator would fit.
- Is the Hercules pump on the CR120 adjustable? Yes, the pump features PWM control, allowing the motherboard to adjust the speed based on thermal requirements.
- Can I add RGB lighting to this reservoir? While the base unit focuses on performance, it is compatible with Bitspower lighting modules to enhance the visual appeal of the coolant.
- What is the maximum flow rate of the integrated pump? The Hercules pump delivers between 11 and 15 liters per minute (LPM), depending on loop restriction.
- Does the package include mounting hardware? Yes, the kit includes the CR120 reservoir, Hercules pump, two sets of mounting brackets (fixed and elevated), and necessary screws.
