Can I change my DDC pump to D5 pump?

[kruasty]

Hello! My 011D Distro Plate G1's pump (DDC 3.1 or 4.2) went dead and I want to replace it with EK-Loop D5 G3 PWM Motor would that be possible? If it is not compatible, I'd love to know about your suggestions. Thanks in advance!

PS: Someone also told me that EK-Loop D5 G3 PWM Motor comes with a plastic frame so it would fit to my distro plate. Can anyone confirm this? btw I'll attach an image of the frame he is referring to below.

Almost certain D5 will not mount for a DDC block, its just way too big. Probably better to just get another DDC and have a think as to why your old one died. Probably insufficient cooling, or was run dry. So heatsink and airflow together with good operation habits will keep the pump alive for years.

Alright, sir thank you for your response I really appreciate a lot! btw can you recommend me some good DDC pumps? I'm new to custom watercool so I don't have knowledge about what to buy any recommendations would help and will be appreciated thanks again!

A genuine DDC pump will all be give or take similar, where higher versions have some perks (from any reputable brand, they are all OEMs of Xylem/Laing). I would focus more on features that you want such as SATA power and PWM control. I would say PWM control is very desirable as at full speed, it is not a quiet pump (I run mine at 30% speed). A good heatsink is worth the investment as in my reading, the top killer of DDCs is lack of cooling, as it is often overlooked. I personally use Alphacools heatsink: https://www.alphacool.com/shop/pumpen/pumpenzubehoer/18980/alphacool-laing-ddc-metal-bottom-black-nickel

 

Cannot guarantee its mounting compatibility with the distroblock, but I think its fine.

I think they look good, you can save money by buying the standalone pump if you plan to reinstall it on the distroblock. https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-loop-ddc-4-2-pwm-motor

OMG thank you really I would have bought the one with the XTOP. I am really new to this thing and with you helping me is a very huge relief. Thank you for the knowledge you share and for guiding me. I couldn't thank you enough!
