DDC 2 bad with 1/2" tubing?

[oqvist]

almost set on this but now I read this review? http://systemcooling.com/swiftech_mcp350-01.html

I got recommended to get the pump with the 1/2" adapter in the water cooling guide is that wrong?

or you could always get the petra top.

Yes but that is not the issue. Look further in. The flow rate is lower on the DDC 2 then the D5 for example. It said it´s better suited for 3/8 rather then large tubing. Much resistance in the pump and so not that suitable for high flow systems...

Anyway I don´t think it can be that bad I will still get it due to it´s small size

well the head pressure is better in ddc2 pumps when compared to D5, i have em both and ddc2 owns in performance..;)

head height is what you're after in a pump not flow rate and the DDC-2 gives the highest max. head of any pc water pump. It's the pump to go for. :toast:
