Adding another 2 pumps to existing 2x D5 setup?

[dante`afk]

hey folks,

 

i'm waiting for some parts to get my benchtable going and out of convinience, I'd like to hook it up via QDCs on my existing dual mora420 + 2x D5 setup.

 

however since my flow is already kinda low (120l/hr) and adding another 2x QDCs to it will cut it more, I'm thining of adding the EK-XTOP Dual DDC 3.2 PWM to the loop. Would that work or will my D5s bottleneck the DDCs?

Depends where the pumps are located but if you putting them in series right after another that wouldn't be the best if they are different pumps. However in this kind of setup with such large external rads I'm assuming you are running them further away to dump the heat. In that kind of scenario you may want to get a stepped up pump like this from Koolance. It's the same D5 style format but much more capable and suited to a large loop setup.

Damn that's a lot cheaper than the dual DDC with a lot more GPM. What's the difference? Noise?

It is a bit more noisy than a D5 but like any pump running at full speed will be noisy. If you have the rads in a remote location that unit would be best placed with them away from the PC. If you really need even more power there is the PMP600 series when running at 24V has even higher pressure capability.

Thanks.

 

My rads are about 1.5ft apart, tower on a small table next to it. The bench table would come close by to hook it up via QDCs.

 

How likely is the PMP500/600 to blow my system out due do the insane head pressure? I'm using EK ZMT soft tubing.

Shouldn't be any issue at all, give the tubing is fitted well and secured. Here is a setup done by antvenom with the PMP500 with an external rad setup.

The PMP-500 still does quite well, even today for me.

There's a video that JayzTwoCents made about how much pressure it takes to cause problems in a loop. Spoiler: It's a LOT.
