I prefer ddc's now after using D5's for years. The new pwm ddcs let the pump run at 1300rpm making it inaudible.

Most d5 are PWM too as is my EK-D5

Mines currently sat at 1160 rpm. Though I have mine set to go off coolant temp rather than CPU .

Don't know if it's just me but even having the pump flat out makes little difference in temps

I use an Aquacomputer Aquastream Ultimate
Ocuk don't sell it im afraid.

Little more expensive, little bit bigger so difficult to fit in but oh its so quiet and contains a built in water temp sensor/flow rate sensor so it can alarm when issues etc.

I really am impressed with it.

D5 vario for sure.

I've been using a DDC for a few months now and to tell the truth, it's noisy, and if connected to the CPU PWM header still runs at full pelt on startup + when CPU load changes (even with the pump set to a fixed speed using speedfan or whatever)

Meanwhile the D5 is cool and silent even when run on 5, the highest setting.

If you have the space always go for a D5 :)
