How many d5 pumps for this loop

MazzaB · 20 Jul 2017 at 22:42

I'm getting hardline loop with 3x ek pe 360mm rads, asus Ix formula motherboard block, ek elite 1151 cpu block, alpha cool m.2 water block, 1080ti ekwb waterblock, is one ekwb pwm elite Ddc pump res combo enough?

I don't mind a bit overkill, better safe than sorry

Confused, your title says D5 pumps but your message says DDC pumps.

It should be fine with a single D5 thou i think the M2 block might be restrictive...

I have a similar setup regarding rad space and blocks and I've used two pumps but both turned down to 2 for years, I only originally put 2 in as at the time the deal was too good to pass up.

Oh ok thank you so much!

1 D5 is easily enough. You could spend a second pump worth of money on something else like s better graphics card.

Ok thank you so much! Moneys basically no issue im already getting best gpu haha lol

If money is no object then by all means go crazy, just remember each additional component added is another potential point of failure and hassle.

Post some pics when it's done!

D5 has good flow rate, EKs top whack DDC has better head pressure - which is great if you've got lots of Hard Tubing bends
M.2 block will be the slightly restrictive but put the D5 on setting 4 and off you go
