D5 speed settings, Only 1 degree difference between high and low.

So I have 2 D5's in series with what I call a highly restrictive loop. Using intel burn test the cpu max temp after 20 runs seems to only increase by a degree when I lowered it from setting 5 to setting 1. Is this normal?

Pretty P.O'd considering I spent quite a bit on two d5 vario's and a dual pump top to to replace my old D5 b

Right today i tested 2 d5's (setting 5) for 2 hours under prime and then turned one of the d5's off for another 2 hours. Saw no change in temps :s

hmm yhh just tried daul loops with the cpu with its own rad but used a DDC with res top. Only got a 2 degree improvement. Guess flow was enough with just a d5 :s

I have to agree with Greebo

momo what do you class as a restricitive loop?

sorry just saw this message now. My loop that I consider restrictive:

MIPS RAM BLOCK > mosfet 1 > mosfet 2 > EK supreme HF > NB/SB block > EK 4870x2 block > 3 Thermochill 120.4 rads > reservoir > 2 D5 pumps in series
