My DDC-2 started sticking last night and I condemned it tonight. I put my D5 back in and requested an RMA from DD.
I treated that pump like a new bride and still it did me wrong! :D

Maybe you'll get one of the new revisions in replacement. If so, report back on every little detail on what is different, if the tops still fit/work right or not... all the details! ;)
Man, that sucks. I just got mine and will be running tonite, and with every story I hear it worries me more.
It would be nice to find out what is causing this from the horses mouth.
Liang, any answers???
Hmm.. "NickS you're so wrong, DDC's never die!"Quote:

Anyway, thank god it didn't take out any hardware with it. Stick with the D5. FTW! :woot:

By the way, what's the blue on your name mean? I never sorted them out...
Bold = mod
Green = VIP type.
....
Smug bastard? Ouch :(
XIP = Blue.
XL = Green.
How can you say this is the first DDC2 to die? I see DDCs dying all the time. If you're afraid of getting a bum D5 then get a 50z. DDC is nice but with all the deaths and the fact that it's not much better while costing more, I'd never get one.
Now you have an excuse to run TWO in series. ;)Quote:

My ddc-2 also died recently. Apparently, the pump got so hot it blistered the gel pad it was sitting on and I gather that is what caused the failure.
Another one... there have been quite a few threads around here lately about DDC's dying. Might want to switch over to an iwaki RD30.Quote:

and how many people run rd30? If one rd30 fails, it's like 10 ddcQuote:

Lets start a poll ... anyone ?
when your pump died (timeframe) and which model, if you had an after market top
Poll like this.
If your DDC2 died pick one
a. It died, stock top
b. It died, modded, my own top
c. It died, alpha top
d. It died, alpha top moded
e. It died, petra top
f. It died, other modded top.
Yeah that sounds good .. should there be other pumps also that are known to die
damn, guys, you are realy scaring me!
i'm waiting for my new ddc (d5 replacement) and now you report such a bad news! :wth:
If this makes you fill better, I ran DDC plus from the time when it came out with various tops until last week when I sold it. Not a single problem.Quote:

Guys do note the DDC-2 runs hot so please stick some heatsinks on the bottom. Placing the pump on a pad or the gel stuff would make it run hotter!
Both of mine are still running fine, for now.. I hope they go on for years.. :D
thanks, mion :)
but you now that mixing 10 grams of :banana::banana::banana::banana: with 1 kilogram strawberry jam you get ~1kg :banana::banana::banana::banana: :)
Heatsinks..where would you put them...
Bottom of pump. I got 8 small ram sinks on one pump and 4 larger ram sinks on the other. :)Quote:
