Replacement pump recommendations.

Choimaloy75 · 23 Feb 2014 at 16:26

I've had a xspc x20 750 bay/pump and it's making a horrible noise now so I'm going Rma it but I've had it with xspc as this is the second pump I've had so I'm going to change to something different so and ideas on what pump to get as I will have to get a reservoir to,at the moment it's just cooling my cpu but it will need to cool 2x290x's when I get water blocks for them.

I've been looking at the d5 but they seem to have 1/2 barbs as my tubing is
7/16 this tubing isn't gonna fit.

So if I got a d5 I would looking at getting d5 top/res combo and then getting the correct fitments, how does the ddc pump compare to a d5.

I want to come away from bay/res, I've been looking at the tube res which I think look quite smart, what size res would you recommend.

Cheers for your help I may go down the d5 route with tube res on top.

I'm looking at the http://www.overclockers.co.uk/popup_image.php?prodid=WC-411-EK are these any good as I think I would look tidy compared to seperate res and pump.

Bought one of the d5/ek 140 res not long ago.

Does appear to be well built but due to ek sending screws(those to be used to attach block/res. to case) that are too small have not yet had chance to install and try.

It is a replacement for the x20 I am currently running .(needed more power , as I'm adding extra gpu and rad to the loop and the x20 is noisy )

Funny enough I got my ek d5 x140 res today and had the same problem with screws as they were to small but luckily i had some spare so managed to get it fitted and I must say I'm really impressed.

What's it like in use?

Noisy/quiet?

What speed you running at?

Any hints on setting up etc ?

Have not been able to move mine forward yet - I'm waiting for ocuk for the screws ,who are themselves waiting for EK

Well I installed it Tuesday and It is very quiet I'm just running on setting 2 as that's all I need as I'm cooling cpu only.
