Most powerful pump available?

[matetx2012]

Title says all. I don't care about the noise, price, anything. I just want the most powerful pump the market can offer.

 

And by "most powerful" I mean the one with the biggest flow rate, pressure and rpm. If possible, one that is the "standard" size (I need to put it under an EK Res to create the combo.

 

Thanks.

Why do you need a very powerful pump? Most systems don't need anymore than powers 1-3 on a D5 Vario.

That is irrelevant. You could ask the same thing to those who sport 3-4 Titan Xs.

If you don't have an answer, please don't reply.

I have two MCP 355s I am looking to sell so I can get a quieter pump. They have 120GPH flow rates, and a clear acrylic top.

[matetx2012]

MCP50X is an updated version of the MCP35X with even higher flow rate.

Is this the most powerful pumps on the market?

 

Or like, close. Something that you would consider "powerful?"

[iamdarkyoshi]

How much are you willing to spend? I would sell both of my MCP 355s for 75 bucks

To prevent people from doing something very stupid or incompatible for what they intend to do.

if you want it to still be portable then probably one of these things:

but I guess it will cost a pretty penny

Why do you need so pwerful pump and what for?

I think I know what I'm doing, thanks.

 

 

Even more powerful would be something like Linus has in the whole room watercooling setup.

 

Well good luck fitting that under an EK Res

[Oshino Shinobu]

Either a D5 with an aftermarket top, or an Iwaki RD-30 are the most powerful as far as I know. D5s are easier to get hold of though. 

 

EDIT: After some research, looks like the RD-30 is a little less powerful than two D5 pumps. 

[iamdarkyoshi]

Not a problem if you have a case like 

 

That makes my build look small!!!!

Sure.

I'll have a STH10 soon sooo...

I currently have a D5 PWM in my 900D and aside from it's remarkable quietness the flow rate doesn't impress me.

Perhaps because it is blocked. I'll probably get a D5 Vario and crank the regulator to 5.

Even at full power, the D5 is pretty quiet. However, the flow rate isn't what matters really, it would be the head pressure. It's all well being able to move a lot of liquid quickly with little resistance, but if it lacks the pressure to get past blocks, rads and such, then there's no point. Flow rate also doesn't affect temperatures much, if at all.

Depends on the situation, if you have lots of restriction (aka. fittings and whatnot) having a high flow rate is important.

I'm truly looking for the pump that can "push hard", and by that I mean something that can push fluid from radiators and even travelling vertically without losing much strenght.

 

Something a cheapo dpc wouldn't be able to do.

D5 then. I've seen insane builds in CaseLabs cases with a stupid amount of radiators and blocks, but running on single D5s fine. People put two D5s in quite a lot, but it's not needed. If anything, it just helps with redundancy.

I decided to go look, and I must say I'm VERY confused by how the MCP50X has lower GPH, AND lower pressure, but higher max head?!

 

These numbers are from swiftech's website and frozencpu.

 

 

Pump                    GPH        Max Head     Max Pressure     Max Power

MCP50X                228           4.8m           22 PSI                25.8W

MCP5655              317           3.1m           50 PSI                24W

Alphacool HF D5   317           3.1m           50 PSI                24W

So what did you find? I too am looking for a more powerful pwm pump. 

I had a swiftech mcp50x that died after only 9 months and im currently using an Aquacomputer d5 pwm that has extremely weak flow in my caselabs case.

My DDC pumps kicked ass, try one of those? I cut a hole in the bottom of mine and installed a thermal pad and heatsink, been running for years and it hasn't had issues

[sdmf74]

No thanks I had 4 gentle typhoon 3000rpm fans blowing directly on my mcp50x DDC so it didn't overheat, just junk. It's gonna have to be 1 or 2 D5 pumps preferably 1. Thanks though
