:shocked:

performance seems to be great!!!

ps: I cant read german, but the graphs talk! :up:
if someone can read german and can find out if there is something interesting about the new top, let us know!

I wonder how it compares to 2 v2's in a series.

[OdinEidolon]

yeah wonder if skinnee or martinm could get one for a review

[NaeKuh]

okey this revew is dumb.. Also the review has no idea what dual ddc's are for.

you guys know why?

they charted in liters per hour.

Well a DDC isnt ment for flow, two and its designed for PRESSURE not flow.

:rofl:

And no, having that much flow also means low head pressure... *sigh*

Real Dual DDC's pumps have dual inlets like so:

Even martin agree'd with me on this when he custom shaved that top.

Also most reviews written on my top is also pointless because they Y the intake which is SOOOOOOO OFF... This top requires very picky hardware and a delivery system near this:

Bah.. Stay away from Dual DDC's tops (had to get mine moded, the EK from the high flow doesnt look like it will give out good pressure)... if you guys dont know what there ment for... just avoid them.. You get better promises going 2 XSPC tops connected via koolance bridge like this: (confirmed by martin)

lastly these tops were based off Eddie's first design, not the V2 top which is 10000000x better then his old top. So just avoid it...

Also... why do you need dual cpu pumps? are you trying to step into the super computer catigory? :up:
When it comes to high pressure systems, there is no bigger whore then me. :rofl:

Interesting stuff. thanks for posting.

[NaeKuh]

Interesting stuff. thanks for posting.

ive played with this last year..

:rofl:

and it was a very quiet project done by martin and me. Unfortunately the first time i had him do this test, i blew out his pressure meter.. :rofl:

yup my fault!

[Waterlogged]

I won't go as far as saying it's a dumb review but I mostly agree with NaeKuh, there is info we can glean from it (which NaeKuh as done already). If a DDC top shows a marked improvement in flow over a top we already know the flow rate for, the odds are very good that the new top will without doubt produce lower max head pressure, which is more or less neutering the DDC.

[gillbot]

You don't use series pumps for flow, it's for pressure.

I must insert the obligatory facepalm now:

which brings us back to last year again..

the ever so infamous question..

FLOW vs PRESSURE..

People need to learn what they need first before they get pumps....

I cant stress how important it is for you guys to learn why your hardware is important. You should know why you have this setup like so, and why its ideal.... otherwise 1 bad cheeze, and the rest of your setup becomes like so:

thanks for the precious info naekuh! and nice pics of those setups! :up:

I have an uber manometer (pressure meter) being delivered in the next two days. :D

I do need to do a dual pump round-up with both the DDC and the D5.

Yes, tests on pumps that do not include dynamic head pressure are only half a test and are not worth the debate or even a proper test.
