Best water pump for a low price.

[ArrayGamer]

Hey i was wondering if anyone can recommend a pump that would easily handle a loop with a cpu and gpu (and maybe a second one in the future). I want it to be able to run this loop, be reliable (fairly good reviews), not extremely loud (variable speed would be nice but i dont think this is a problem with pumps but i dont know much about them), for as cheap as possible (i dont mean the difference of $5 is extremely important but i dont want something really expensive). Thanks for your time.

If your building a custom loop, be prepared to spend a lot, water cooling, in its nature, is expensive.

Not exactly cheap but great. http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/swmc12vdcpu.html

Thanks for the suggestion, and yes I know that they are expensive, I am hoping to spend around $500(not set in stone) on the loop

I already have an h100i, can I reuse the block off that?

Nope can't reuse anything of it. Also 500$ is not  enough. You will be looking at 800- 1000$.

500 can easily be enough 

 

250 for a D5 raystorm kit

Buy a couple more compression fittings and a gpu block

 

Should cost about $400

I was talking about highend stuff. Also 240mm isn't enough for a CPU+ GPU loop.

My loop is around 500$

 

d5/res combo, 360mm + 240mm rad + cpu block + gpu block

fittings cost an isane amout of money.

Some of my fittings were in sale 1.5€ each, down from 4.5€.

$76.95 with speed control.  I have this with a Bitspower pump top and new back for looks, but if you are fine with the looks and layout then the price isn't too bad.

Thanks for the suggestion

Some do, but you don't have to get monsoon/bitspower fittings.

$700+tax and shipping and you'll get 360mm 240mm and everything you need GPU block CPU and stuff.

There isn't much point talking about high end stuff if he only has 500 to spend. (Sorry if I sounded offence kind of )

well price will differ depending on location as there is alot of places to get watercooling from in the US but then this is the internet and not everyone is in the US. i will agree with the pump everyone is choosing as it is a great pump but dont just get the Swiftech one if the shop you are going to buy from doesnt stock it just make sure you are getting a Laing D5 pump as they are alot of rebrands from Swiftech/Alphacool/XSPC/EK and others

 

 

it will also help if we know the specs of the system as well so we can help you out with that aswell as most people will say 1x120mm rad per block and then atleast 1x120mm rad for the case eg. CPU loop only= 240mm rad space. CPU+GPU loop = 360mm rad space

 

if you are lucky enough to get a kit with everything you like then grab it as it will save alot of money instead of buying all the parts individually.

there's also the rebranded jingway pumps such as the EK DCP-2.2 or the 4.4. If you have more than one waterblock you'll need the 4.4. You can get them for a very good price as a pump-res-combo from EK and they are supposed to be good performers and silent when mounted on foam. I just ordered a 4.4  a few days ago, should be arriving shortly.

70-90$ for a for a D5 pump is an investment that's more then worth the cost.  you can cheap out on a pump if you want but expect to end up replacing it.
