DDC OK or D5 needed ?

[Virgule]

Hello,

I'm quoting an upcoming build for a client which is the following :

 

 

My client manifested the desire of bringing down the cost a bit for the watercooling portion and I am wondering if I can replace the D5 with top and reservoir by a DarkSide 150ml DDC Reservoir-Pump Top Combo with DDC pump. Would a DDC pump have enough pressure head to circulate fluid through all that ?

 

Regards,

[Enderman]

yes the DDC will be enough

it will just be louder

and make sure that the combo has a metal DDC housing, or the pump will overheat

DDC's have slightly better head pressure, but performance is hugely impacted by tops. They're also louder and hotter. Unless you don't have the space, get a D5

Thanks for the info. This aligns with something I've heard a few times in the past.

 

Would something like this (https://www.dazmode.com/store/product/heat_sink_for_pmp-400_ddc_pump/) inder the DDC pump to be installed in its res+pump top combo (see photo below.
