Anyone using a ddc pump for a large loop? Getting a Monsoon DDC Res/pump and I wanted to know if it is powerful enough for a pump(in 5.25 bay-> cpu ->gpu ->gpu ->480 rad in bottom ->pump/res and is this the right order to have the loop setup? case is 900D gpus are 780gtx hydro coppers, cpu block is ek supremacy. thanks guys.

Should be fine especially if its the 18w ddc, iirc ddc's have some of the highest head pressure which is what you need in a loop like this.

Loop order sounds fine, as long as it starts res> pump the rest doesn't make much difference.

sorry meant to be two rads in the loop, pump ->top rad->cpu ->2xgpu -> bottom rad ->pump. or is it better to have the second rad in between the cpu and gpus? Yea it is the 18w DDC and it does have really high head pressure. Thanks

Yes more than enough, much better than the d5 with a decent top.

i think most people seriously under estimate how much watercooling pumps can handle
