But i couldnt use this on DB.
He is probably the only person on this forum minus vendors who has more ddc's in his closet then i do.

I hate DDCs from experience as I have had TONS of them die on me but never had a D5 die. I have a graveyard of them and a :banana::banana::banana::banana:load of tops (XSPC dual pump tops included).

This actually looks pretty good, i remember seeing a similar mod here on XS few years back, only gripe is this would be the only Koolance part in my rig and I'm not really a fan of Koolance.

Would you believe me if i told you I've had mine since 2007 purchased from FrozenCPU and still runs perfectly fine with hardly any noise.

Edit: can't stop visualizing how this would look in my rig with modded top, EK you reading this lolz.

Well, we've known that heat sinks helped the DDC's since we started using them in 2006. Some of our early high ambient bench units got the RAM heat sink treatment.

I'm also aware other members like Bei and Naekuh did very nice, specialized DDC heat sinks before us, so respect, mon.

With more temperature complaints from customers lately on the DDC, we decided to offer something ourselves. It does involve removing the stock plastic base entirely, and it is a little technical to assemble (nothing you guys can't handle, but maybe a little complex for others). Best of all, it does help with temps.

No argument from me that D-5 does run cooler and tends to have a higher reliability rate. But you can't fit a D-5 in a single 5.25" bay, either.

Don't say can't Tim. With a can of Crisco and a roll of duct tape there is just about nothing I cannot accomplish.

Quick question for Koolance, I use the PMP400 with the top and res and the bracket screws into the two extra holes on the bottom of the pump, how do you attach the bracket to the heat sink?

But seriously though that Koolance setup is sexy and I would go that route if I had a DDC I wanted to use.

It doesn't fit the bracket that comes with the COV-RP400 pump cover directly. We're going to have to note that and make something that will work. The mounting holes on the bracket correspond with the two hole positions on the PMP-400, but those are different than the new standoffs we provide on the HTS-PMP400 heat sink.

For now, you could match one of those standoff holes with the bracket to mount it. The bracket goes underneath the heat sink, so it will still support the weight (upside-down picture below). Or, you could drill new screw holes through the existing bracket which align with a couple of the heat sink standoffs. There's also threaded holes on opposite sides of the HTS-PMP400 metal base that could be useful.

Thanks. I am going to assume then that the heat sink and it's bracket do not interfere with the top/res attachment?

Same. If I didnt have a D5 and wanted a DDC, I'd get this.

Plus other Koolance products have caught my eye lately too. I really love the nickel and looks generally on their blocks and so on :cool:.

According to the HTS-PMP400 product page on the Koolance website it doesn't. Although I thought the mounting bracket was going to work. Would have been nice to know before I bought the heatsink, the top, and the PMP-400 earlier today. :shrug:

For all the D5 deniers: my D4 (four) pump, from around 2005, continues to provide the pumping goodness to my backup computer.

No conflict with a reservoir and top attachment. We include shorter and longer mounting screws to mount the pump up into whatever.

Here's something important. There are two cutout areas below the HTS-PMP400 metal body designed to avoid the DDC's power wire solder points. Our initial web pictures had this oriented the wrong way, which might short a pump if its solder points are especially thick. This is the corrected picture now on our website:

http://www.koolance.com/water-coolin...-pmp400_p2.jpg

If you receive one of the first HTS-PMP400 units, the assembly diagram shows "insulation tape" to place over those solder points. But the bracket cutouts were added before release, so the tape was no longer needed. (This isn't to be confused with the small piece of heat shrink we currently include for the pump wire, which is completely optional.)

Tim: how much wider is the Koolance cooler than the original pump dimensions?

Koolance,

Will your PMP-400 heatsink simply bolt on to a Swiftech MCR355?

Thanks,
