D-Tek dB-1 Compact 12v Pump, any good?

Does anyone use this D-tek pump in a setup, its rated 500 LPH and 2m head.I would be using it along with a D-tek fuzion in a CPU loop with a 120.2 rad, T- line and fill port.
I can`t find any user reviews on it.My second choice would be a Laing DDC-1T Pro 10watt pump probably updating the top at a later date.

Thanks

the DDC is loads better.....

Using a flow rate calculator with that loop should give roughly

Db1 1.17GPM

DDC 9watt without a top 1.54GPM

DDC 9watt with a top 1.84GPM

afaik temperatures and performance would only start to really degrade at about .8 to .9 GPM. Unless your loop is particularly tall the Db1 should be fine but the DDC would be better.

The D-tek pump is fine for a one block loop.

Thanks very much for the replies,think I`ll try the D-tek If I`m not happy with it I can always upgrade at a later date.It would be good enough to W/C the family rig , that`d keep `em quiet .

Thanks
