D5 Pump - Will it overheat?

[4ndromeda]

So for my current build, I'm going for both performance AND silence, and with the pump being the loudest thing in the system I was interested in building a small metal housing shroud to cover it and line the inside with sound dampening material. With all gaps sealed off (except for where the tubes & cables come out) will this cause the pump to run hot or over heat? If so, is what I have in mind a bad idea?

No the D5 pump cools itself with the coolant that it pumps.

No it wont overheat. This pump is pretty silent to begin with. Im running it at full speed.

windows see it as 4821RPM and i can barely hear it.

Quality pumps aren't that loud to begin with.   I have two EK D5 PWM pumps in my loop and I never hear them.  They are PWM pumps so my motherboard controls the speed of the pumps.  RPMs increase as needed.  This increase is proportional to fan speed increase so you'd never hear them over the fans.

 

You're better served trying to reduce fan noise as those will be more noticeable than your pump.

reducing vibrations into the case and other things is probably going to make a bigger difference than the actual pump noise sound its self

My current system as an EK D5 pwm pump inside & when at full speed I can hear it still. Not sure whether it's the pump noise or the vibrations going into the case. My fans are next to silent so I can pretty much never hear them unless it's the dead of night. The pump is definitely louder than the fans.

Gonna try reducing the vibrations with some padding today, see if that helps at all because if it's the vibrations then I can create an aesthetically pleasing solution because ideally I'd like to have the pump on show in the new build.

If it gets quieter when you touch or move it by hand then you should be able to quiet it down. Although truth be told, I've always been able to hear a d5 at max speed. Do you need to run 100%? Reducing the speed a bit probably won't hurt much temp wise unless you've got a monster loop. Mine always get loud around 50% for some reason and quiet back down either higher or lower

Pump speed as almost no effect  on tempo. I only use the highest setting to bleed  the loop.

I don't need it at 100%, no way lol. Just when I need to get the air bubbles out. There's certain speeds I can hear it more due to the frequency of the pump motor. Due to my work schedule, I mostly use the pc at night when nobody else is awake so I can hear the noises a lot easier. Anything I can do to minimize sound without hurting performance is what I'm really interested in. Will be using only Sata SSD's and M.2 SSD's in my new build so that cuts out the noise from HDD, fans run silent so the only other noise creator will be the pump.
