View Full Version : D5 performance = DTek dB1/DD-CPX1 on 1block?

Well I am going to take the advice of fellow members and split up my loop into two loops.
If I don't have to spend extra, I would rather save the money.
The issue is, will a D5 perform the exact same as a less pump, such as a dtek db1 on one block?
I will have my existing D5 along with an mcr320 on the quad and northbridge.
The 2nd loop will be another pump along with an mcr220 and mcw60(8800gt)
So knowing that the 2nd pump won't be working a quad, gpu, chipsets, etc, would it really make a difference?
Or would the flow be that much slower where the gpu will have temp increases (1-3c)
From my understanding, the D5 is most useful when adding many blocks. Therefore if you are just running one, it won't make a difference.
Can anyone shed some light on this?

This will be my birthday present to myself :bday2:

The db-1 would be perfect for that. Both the MCW-60 and MCR220 will have very little restriction, and the db-1 is going to have less heat dump than a D5.

In the end, you'd be lucky to measure any differences between the two pumps.:up:

Martin, I figured the same thing, but I haven't seen many people with these pumps, so I wasn't 100% sure.
I'm off to microcenter to pick one up! :toast:
