Hello! I know this might be obvious or something, but I read somewhere that I would need more than one pump and that just destroyed my small knowledge base for pumps. I'm planning on using this https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-xtop-ddc-3-2-pwm-elite-plexi-incl-pump pump (I got it for $40 at microcenter please be proud of me), and I am looking to cool my CPU and GPU, possibly two but most likely one, so will it be enough? Thanks in advance!

I have an Asetek 550LC, which is the OEM Corsair H60. There's tons of topics/videos about how these Corsair Hydro pumps buzz and there's no definitive solution. Some have RMA'd multiple times with the same issue. Some were able to undervolt the pump with success. My current setup is: MSI Z170I Mini-iTX motherboard Pump in CPU_FAN header (0.2A) Radiator + Case fans in SYS_FAN header via 3-pin splitter (0.6A) I've tried controlling the CPU_FAN header with the BIOS, but it seems it only controls with 4 pins, because it stays at 100% regardless of what I put the curve at. I've tried switching fan headers, then my fans go full blast in CPU_FAN, so I can't hear the pump to check anyway. One thing to note is that it seems the buzzing loudness comes and goes. There's always a light hum, which is fine. This isn't air bubbles, it's definitely an electrical sound. Any insight is appreciated.

Hello, I am having some difficulties on what pump I should buy for the new reservoir I have just purchased, the xspc Ion reservoir. Could anyone link me any good pumps??? thanks!! this is the reservoir: (http://www.xs-pc.com/reservoirs/ion-reservoir-white)

I recently purchased a xspc d5 tank reservoir and a alphacool vpp655 pwm pump and when I tested for leaks it leaked around the pump reservoir seal. I know that there is no problem with the res, there where just really bad instructions for how to install the pump.

pump DIY Water cooling - Pump flow per hour
Gawron10001 posted a topic in Custom Loop and Exotic Cooling
Hey, I'am making myslef DIY water cooling system, not to cool my system, only to check if DIY can perform any well. And here is the question. How much flow per hour/minute should pump have? I know pumps have usualy 500L/h, but want to know, what is the minimum. Can it be 3 or 2 liters per minute 180 / 120 per hour? Anwsering eventual questions -I have normal pump -No, I won't use it because i want to do Whole DIY build /Kacper -
So I'm about to buy parts for a liquid loop in an itx case, and I planned on using this pump/res combo unit, https://www.amazon.com/XSPC-Ion-Reservoir-Pump-Combo/dp/B01BA3LY64 It says its a DDC pump, and after doing a little looking, apparently DDC pumps run louder and hotter. I really have no idea what I'm getting into, and I wanted to know if there was any advice I could get about how hot/loud it really is, should I look for a similarly small D5 pump, and considering there will be NO airflow to the pump, will it be fine in my case?

Hey Linus, Try to make a proper water-cooled Macbook using water-block, pump & radiator!! Please make a video to show what is its performance. If a proper system is created we could know the accurate performance!! Please Do It!!

Hi everyone, I'd nearly finished my custom watercooling loop when my pump started acting up. It's a Laing DDC with the bitspower 250 upgrade kit, bitspower top, and EK heatsink. I'm using monsoon compression fittings. When I start the pump, the water level in the reservoir briefly drops, then becomes constant. The pump starts making a sharp crackling sound. When I stop the pump, the water level returns to what it was. The video attached shows this in more detail. Does anyone have any suggestions? pump.mp4

So, I have an issue where my system does not properly bleed from air, It feels that this pump is weak for my system, but I had 0 issues with another pump prior to this. I was using http://www.xs-pc.com/water-pumps/x2o-420-single-bayrespump Now I am using https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-xres-140-revo-d5-pwm-incl-pump My question, how is it possible that my old XSPC pump was able to bleed the system mostly withing hours and new EKWB pump is not able to do so with 2 days and very extensive case shaking/turning. I can see water moving in the rez, but there are air bubbles (i don't mean the micro ones) in the tubes and they are not moving or are stuck in one place, did not see this with the old one. Picture of my loop attached. Running 360 rad, 240 rad, 2 GPU and 1 CPU, this was my setup when using the XSPC pump as well, even kept the inlet and outlet on radiators same. Main points where larger bubble colonies form are right between CPU and GPU and right after GPU outlet. If I would use 90 degree fittings somewhere and shorten the tubes could this help? Any ideas, suggestions would be helpful.

I'm currently running: i7-7700k MSI Z270 Gaming Pro Carbon Kraken X52 Phanteks Enthoo Luxe Tempered Glass My Kraken X52 has been struggling incredibly with cooling my 7700k even at stock, so I'm thinking of going to a custom loop so I can add my gpu to the loop later too. I've been thinking of getting a EK-CoolStream CE 420 (Triple) at the top of my case for now but I'm not entirely sure if it'll fit, according to the specs it should fit a 420mm rad but I just want to be sure. For this loop I'm also going to need a pump and res and I was thinking of getting the EK-XRES 100 SPC-60 MX PWM (incl. pump). Is there anywhere else I could mount one of the drive cages? Because I would like to keep my HDDs but I would also like the ability to mount my pump/res and be able to add another 240mm rad in the front of the case. I am completely open to other parts or ideas, right now my main focus is having everything fit without removing my hard drives

Hello My name is Hari and am about to plan out a water cooled PC and was wondering about the liquid. I am thinking of using some big brand coolant and I was wondering is tonic water would work because of the florescent aesthetic it gives of under UV light but i could not find any other build vlog or blog using tonic water to water cool a pc and was wondering is it an option. Thanks

I got the H110i GTX back in January and up till now it was a great water cooler. But yesterday I ran into a problem. After I’ve done my monthly clean of the cooler and rest of the computer my pump made this cracking sound and the CPU temps kept rising. I want to know what is the problem and how do I fix it. I will provide a video if necessary. Thanks for the help

Hey guys looking for other people's opinions. What way looks best in your opinion? Tube up or down on the pump? In the middle of a build for my son.

Help! I'm water cooling my pc and the pump won't power up. The psu is supplying power. Some of the fans light up, and we can get them to do so. Right now, the pump is an Alphacool VPP655 pwm pump. Theory 1- the pwm connector is in the wrong place. Solution 1- that doesn't matter. Pwm does nothing until the system is powered up. Theory 2- the power connector is bad. Result 2- entirely possible. LED fan is powered by same cord pump is connected to. Theory 3- pump is dead. Result 3- please God no. That's the worst case scenario. Please, I'm on my knees, help a brother out.

Alphacool has just released an improved version of the popular D5 pump. Their old model was called VPP655, so this one is VPP755. The interesting part is that they claim to have redesigned even the internals of the pump, resulting in more power and less noise than the old one. Specificly they give examples of the old model pumping water to 3,7 meters as the new one will do 4,0 meters and it consuming 23W of power for the same water flow that the new one can produce with 14W. VPP755 has a new bearing that should make it more quiet and the pump's speed can be adjusted between 1700 - 4500 rpm. It has molex, 3-pin and 4-pin PWM connectors so that you can run the pump at constant speed but still monitor it through 3-pin fan connector or alternatively control it complitely with 4-pin PWM fan connector. When in PWM mode, you can still change the maximum speed that the pump will run with the switch in the pump. Additionally it looks better now with metal body, sleeved black cables etc. Interestingly the pump is also noticeably shorter, taking a bit less space. UPDATE 1: Oh, I forgot to mention the price. It seems to cost around the same as the old model. On Aquatuning.de the basic VPP655 is 64€ and VPP655 with PWM control is 72€. The new VPP755 fits right between them at 69€. UPDATE 2: Xtremerigs has already a review of the pump. I highly recommend reading it if you're interested but here are the main findings: - VPP755 has a slightly differing dimensions compared to a normal D5 and not all pump tops will fit! - The pump motor has no real PWM control but instead runs on one of five preset speeds depending on the PWM signal. The manual control on the pump uses also those five steps, so no linear control. - The pump actually is more powerful, silent and a lot more energy efficient than a regular D5. - The sleeving on the cable is not the prettiest that there are. But the housing is really nice and more color options of it should be available in the future. UPDATE 3: Taken from Thermalbench's review: Sources: - Xtremerig's review: http://www.xtremerigs.net/2016/10/31/alphacool-eispumpe-vpp755-pump-review/ - Thermalbench's review: http://thermalbench.com/2016/11/04/alphacool-eispumpe-vpp755-pump/ - Alphacool product video:

How do I lower the RPM of a fan plugged into the pump header? It's an Industrial Noctua fan that's just running at 3000rpm by default, Christ it's irritating. I've been told you can configure an AIO/Pump Header into a normal Fan Header, or at least you can control the RPM through it since it's a 4 pin input. Question is how? I am using a Crosshair Hero IV AM4 Motherboard.

Anybody ever seen a pump decide to run backwards? Mine has done so and it pushing water slowly the wrong way around the loop. Previously (for a year or two) it had run very well in the correct direction.

Hi. I have an EKWB custom loop with this water pump. The pump was mounted as specified by manufacturer, horizontally, using an uv blue liquid from EKWB. The pump was running all the time at it's lower speed, as the CPU is very cold (30-45 degrees C in load), so it was not abused in any way. Everything was running fine for about 6 months, but two days ago I've noticed the pump was not working at all after system startup. After a few restarts and connect/disconnect from PSU the pump has started, but today It had the same problem. I've tried 4-5 restarts and again to disconnect and reconnect the pump, but it was not working. So I thought to shake a little the system and kick the pump (with the system turned off). After power on the pump was started normally! What do you think, the pump is dying or it was just some air or debris stuck inside it? Thanks!

Hi, This is my first post here so if I am breaking any forum rules please feel free to point it out, I have read the CoC but mistakes do happen! I'm currently an owner of the Evolv ATX TG case and I'm planning on doing a water cooled build in it, as it is now I only have AIO solutions for the gpu and cpu. As I'm studying at uni, time is scarse so this is a bit in the future and I know things will change but I'd like to get an idea what I'm looking for! ^^ My specs are: Corsair Hydro H110i V2 CPU-cooler Corsair Vengeance LPX Black 16GB Intel Core i7-7700K - 8 threads / 4.2GHz (planning to overlock just a little so please keep that in mind) MSI GeForce GTX 1080 SEA HAWK X (probably going to sell this to a friend and buy another card, which would be nice to overclock a tad) MSI Z270 KRAIT GAMING (bought from a friend and will probably change due to colour scheme) WD SSD Blue 250GB 2x WD HDD BLUE 1TB EVGA PowerSupply (PSU) Gold 850W Modular I've never done anything like this before but I would really like to try. I have googled around a bit but haven't found all the answers I needed and it is always comforting to know that someone that knows their stuff has listened to your idea before you try to execute it. ^^ So before I get going, a few basics. a) I'm gonna do a soft tube solution, starting with hard tubing felt a bit too hard for me... b) I do know of some of the problems the Evolv has with water cooling, especially the top but I've addressed this by modding the top so it is now alot more open and is filtered as well. Problems: 1. Radiators. I have read up a bit on FPI and gotten a rough idea on how it works but need to work some things out. i'm looking to buy the radiators from Alphacool (since they have more out/inlets making me able to go in on one side and out the other) and the ones I've looked at have an FPI of about 16. There are two main problems I need help with. a) I currently have Silent Wings 3 low RPM PWM fans as radiator fans and they seem to be doing fine, would these work on 16 FPI or where is the limit for them to still be functional? In addition, are there any other fans that you would recommend I take a look at that are still very silent and better? (have taken a look at noctua etc but would still like to know) b) I was hoping to mount a slim (30mm) 360 radiator top and a slim (30mm) 280 radiator front (not moving the HDDs) but for the love of me I can't figure out if this works natively or not as some people say they have modded and some said they didn't (the manual isn't that helpful either), If you have any recommendations on radiator placement, type of radiators or anything in general I'd appreciate it (with little or no modding preferably). c) The blocks for the gpu are probably gonna be nickel (as far as I know this is mainly more about looks than performance) but some rads are copper. This doesn't seem to be an issue but if I throw in gold will there be? 2. Pump. a) I have looked around but the pump still eludes me.. I would like to have a res/pump combo that's silent and as it stands now I'm buying it from EKWB and it's a EK-XRES 100 SPC-60 MX PWM (incl. pump), is this a good idea or are there better alternatives? It says it's "value oriented" so I guess there is but I have no idea what to look for since I can't find what is important, all I know is that I want it to be silent 3. General. If there are any general things you would like to add or comment on please feel free, I'm eager to hear! Lastly, I would like to apologize for any errors in my spelling, I'm from Sweden so I don't speak this language natively! Price is not an issue so please don't hesitate on that part either. Thank you in advance for your help! PLJ

So I have some water cooling parts in mind that I really like how they look and I would like to know what affordable pump or/and pump top I would need to make this work. So those are my parts: 1. Singularity Computer Protium Medium 200mm 2. Bitspower D5 Mod Kit Matt Black I was thinking about using the EK D5 PWM G2 12V DC (which seems pretty old to me) and Bitspower Premium D5 Mod Top but they seem too expensive or I don't know if that could work and if I would need a pump top with that. I need your recommendations guys.

So my pump has a molex and a fan wire that needs to get connected. But here is my dilemma I have 2 phanteks fan hubs that are all 3 pin and the hub then has an extra 4 pin wire that the Manuel says to connect to the Mobo CPU fan. The molex on the pump I assume I connect directly to the PSU but I was going to put the pump fan wire to the fan hub, however the pump fan is 4 pin and fan hub is 3 so... Should I buy some kind of adapter like molex to fan? Or could I connect the fan hubs 4 pin to the Mobos sys fan and use pump 4 pin to Mobos CPU fan? Or vice versa?

I'm trying to build a desk pc. I wanted to do something similar to what Linus did but I wanted to use hardline, despite this being my first custom watercooling loop. I've been trying to fill up my loop and don't have my reservoir at the highest point or my pump at the very lowest. My order goes res #1 - pump - 360 rad - 360 rad - res #2 - cpu - gpu - back to res #1. When I turn on the pump, it moves water slightly and it stays there. When I turn it off, the water and air moves back to where it originally was. I made sure my pump never ran dry. Here is a picture of my loop: https://imgur.com/a/ej10i

I just put together a EK a240g kit with a extra 360mm extension last night and my pump has been making this noise since I turned it on. The noise is actually quite loud and extremely noticeable. Is it a bad pump? I even have 4mm rubber rings around the screws that are holding the pump Video link - https://youtu.be/t4PZ543hx58 Edit: Pump is connected to W_PUMP+ and is running at 2599rpm according to asus suite

Hey! So for the first time i'm going to water cool, it's been a while since my current system has been build in 2011. What i'm considering is in the following link (Scroll down at the page, or click on Cruorzy replied to a topic) Do you have any tips? Now i'm considering to get this pump instead (glass) https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-xres-140-glass-revo-d5-pwm-incl-pump Are there any major differences and Does this mean i can't go crazy and let parts get 70°C? Seems a bit crazy, no idea what this exactly means. Thanks!
