DDC=355 series pumps
D5=655 series pumps

35X has an improved pump top which will take G1/4" barbs, and has better flow (new volute design). 35X also allows for PWM control.

180/200mm rads are great if you can find a used unit which will be hard. if you want you can join Lucasss frozencpu bulk now and grab one quick. phobya and magicool are the brands you'll want to check out

if you're worried about space in your rig, check out the swiftech apogee drive II. it's a pump waterblock combo.

You actually can since anodising works to up corrosion resistance.

BUT

Anodising has various types and various thickness. Each anodising method is different.

ALSO

If the anodised layer in the M6F system is damaged/scratched deep enough to expose the aluminium, you can pretty much say hello to corrosion.

So, if you have the cash, just change out the M6F "water block". Otherwise, find corrosion inhibitor for your water loop. If you don't want to find water cooling specific corrosion inhibitors, you can substitute with car coolants which have corrosion inhibitor. Mix a ratio of the car coolant with distilled water.

Also, I think some water cooling coolants might have corrosion inhibitors in them.

The ones I'd recommend

Concentrates (250ml to make 1L):
Mayhems X1, Mayhems Pastel

Premix:
XSPC EC6 (1L)

so... who has a R4BE?

Yep. Full block

yeah, retire from bulking already. haha.

azilazwa I've requested for the photon to be brought into Malaysia. If you're not in a hurry, can wait.

Not sure.

But if you're looking for the photon pump combo, I don't think that's available yet. Only available in the kit.

Other option to consider would be from Primochill, but that's not out on the shelves either. lol

If you're serious about getting a full block for the board, EK's version of the full block would probably do better in terms of performance.

Looks wise, go ahead and buy.

Whether the full block is worth the bother or not depends what you'll be messing with in terms of overclocking settings. Also, if your motherboard vrm sinks won't be getting any air flow in the case, going with a full block is a good idea.

Can get locally from shops that sell PVC tubings, Ace Hardware and the better stocked hardware stores. Size is universal.

SGTs are still better in terms of reliability and static pressure. Acoustically more silent too.

I have the 2400rpm eloops. They are not worth the money unless you are after the design. lol.

ELoops do not work well on pull, they hum when operating in pull configuration.

Look for noiseblocker multiframes. They are amazing.

No one locally stocks eloops because of the price tag. You can ask APES if they still carry multiframes. They used to carry.

Also, the eloop 2400s are nearly like deltas at full speed.

Sentinel92 damn crazy la you recommend people eloops.

For the same amount of money, you're probably better off buying Swiftech Helix fans.

LOL. Bought them more for how they looked rather than how they performed since my rads can take anything I throw at them.

Check out Swiftech Helix as well

Yep. The top port is the inlet.

Always res before pump so your pump will never run dry.

Improves the pump performance, also in the case of the ddc, allows for G1/4" threads.

See if you can get hold of Phobya or Aquacomputer pump tops. They have 2 inlets and 2 outlets.

No DDC pump has inlet/outlets at the same angle due to the design of the pump impeller and volute.

Same thing. 350/355/35X/DDC. Same pump design, just different specifications. None of which have G/14" ports at the same angle. Only the 35X comes standard with G1/4" ports one on the top, one on the side, the 350/355 has stock barbs, both on the side.

In order to get G1/4" ports at the same location (either top or side), you need to change the pump top. Only pump tops that have inlet and outlet G1/4" ports on the same side is Phobya and Aquacomputer.

If you're going to screw it into your case, make sure you've got the right screws and you know which holes to use. Wrong holes and screws will lead to a different sort of headache.

You can use tape like everyone else is suggesting, but use FOAM tape or ACRYLIC tape and not typical double sided tape. Foam tape is green peel layer with white foam adhesive, acrylic is red peel layer with gel adhesive. Regular stationery double sided tape lacks the thickness to dampen vibrations and is too thin to stick properly or rough surfaces.

Bitspower is slow to the party.
