ooo that noisy pump kaa??? that seems weak to me. anyway i have no experience with it, so dont really know but i am using ddc right now and i like it. last time i used the 655 pump, a good and powerful pump with speed control but its a bit bulky for my liking so i changed to ddc. compact and powerful too. using two of 'em now

ddc has higher head pressure
to me that's more important than flow rate

personal preference though .
both 655 and ddc are good in performance no doubt

it doesnt matter which pump to use, the point is the cpu and gpu are running at stock most of the time.

D5 or ddc also suffice....
but keep in mind that DDC is not really silent compare to D5, but ! it's smaller in footprint...
it's really depend on ur case space... i would opt for D5 IF MY CASE GOT SPACE FOR IT !

hardly running it on stock..most of the time 4.6ghz@1.35 sometime 5ghz when render video

after quick review on the pump..will be upgrading my pump to D5 in couple of month..since i would like to see first do i really need to change it or not..

thx

i wonder do u really 90d or T-block ??

Pretty much will go for T-block, maybe will consider elbow if can find it here lol.

white tube, lolx.

My primo white tube is on the way. Wonder any improvement in heat transfer, haha.

paint ur rad in white den got "improvement" in heat ....

i wud say very minimum to none at all.. unless u running your pc in the middle of a football field under direct sunlight LOL

Perhaps he means psychologically

i7-3930K CPU EK Supreme HF Plate 6

EK-Supreme HF - best performing CPU water block for Sandy Bridge-E processors. Confirmed by non other than MartinM, the legend of water cooling.

bro. actually why you want to change pump now? if you temperature still ok you dont need to get better pump now. why dont you wait for your future plan since you saying wanna add 1x gtx580 then you that time you might opt. for dual pump and dual reservoir. dual d5 or mcp35x2 is depend on your casing got place anot.

question, if i plan to setup res > pump > gpu > cpu > rad > pump with this koolance top and the bitspower z multi tube res on top of the inlet (so now the pump and res becomes one unit). Do i complete the loop by connect the tube from rad to the hole beside the outlet? sorry for noob question but first time using a pump and res separately.

do it like this:

res outlet> pump inlet> pump outlet to cpu block inlet > cpu outlet to gpu inlet> gpu outlet to rad inlet > rad outlet back to res inlet.

or like below also can depend on you tubing route

res > pump > rad > cpu> gpu> res

hope this enough clear to you

quite the opposite if you paint it white the performance would drop,
black is the best color for radiation of heat from heat sinks. THat is why most heatsinks are black annodized for maximum performance
black painting reduces this a bit but still better than natural color. Painting to thick would reduce the performance even more

problem is im using a HAF X case and theres no place to put my rad at the bottom. i plan to put the res on vertical slot beside the pcie slots and pump on the psu cover. but i still don't see how this works out. any suggestions? im stuck here.

may this will work res out > pump in to gpu in > gpu out to cpu in > cpu out to rad in > rad out to res in

if you loop gpu 1st mean your cpu will get hotter temperature . better go for cpu > gpu. google up for haf x watercooling setup. plenty of information how Haf X wc setup.

hmm would it impact much? i googled but mostly are using dual loops with some mods. i guess that's my temporary solution until i find out more. but if anyone figured some else out that would be much appreciated.

you better check properly. as for those using dual loop usually dual pump with dual rad. 1 rad for cpu and 1 rad for gpu.

your gpu can withstand temperature better than your cpu. do you think cpu run hotter than gpu?
