[Admiral Huddy]

HI mate,

I know you've had some experience with these and i was wondering what you'd recommend:

XSPC D5 Vario otion

Or XSPC Laing 18W DDC-Pump 12V DDC 3.25 option

looking for a good replacement for my XSPC 750 dual bay res/pump.

looking for low noise and high lph

Any thoughts?

THanks

I'm not 8pack but I've used a DDC pump before and found it a bit too loud for my liking. It has a noticeable buzz to it.

This was also the lower powered version so I'd expect the one you linked to make more noise.

can vouch for the D5, very quiet pump and handles my system very well.

i have had two different 18w DDC pumps and were a pain to keep quiet (using a aftermarket top). Currently I'm running a D5 vario + white ek D5 top CSQ and it's much quieter.

Another vote for the D5 here - well happy with mine.

I have to say D5 out of the two mate. The excellent flow rates and low noise win the deal everytime. I have 5 D5's at home and have had them for years without any problems.

Only had 18w's myself in the past and were a pain to keep quiet.

I will be going D5 on my next loop, though looks like everyone above already answered this!

Conclusive then. Thanks

XSPC D5 Vario Pump & EK-D5 X-TOP CSQ Plexi Combo is exactly what I'm saving up for. EK-Supremacy Nickel Plexi block came this morning too
