Be prepared to do some somersaults for a 300$ pump =p
rofl, isn't that mildly offtopic? or are you telling me that driving to get it is basically the only way?
Does anyone know if the ddc can be mounted top facing down?
(i know the d5 install guide says not to mount this way but maybe the ddc can
since its a more advanced design)
laing says no!
thanks, looks like Im going to have to mount it somewhere else.Quote:

it may still live long. but better safe than sorry!
so what do you guys think about using either of these 2 pumps (im leaning more toward the first one...the second one is rather large)
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...temnumber=9576
some places who advertise this pump (albeight the one they advertise draws 7A at load instead of 5) say it can only be run intermittent. im hoping this is not the case as this seems like a really decent pump for the money.

this one i think may cavitate a bit and im not sure how loud it is...although theoreticly i should be able to pump any number of things with it.
so... please help me out here. i have a pump right now, but it makes a somewaht annoying rattle and hissing sound, almost like it has air in it, but it doesnt
-Abbott
1st pump has a rubber impeller that will probably wear out in a day or two
(this pump is good for pumping oil out of a boat engine but not for 24/7 use) the second pump looks like it will kill youre electric bill,
ok, thanks for the help...now that i have to look at other pumps, im stuck between the via aqua 1300 and the maxijet 1200 (or paralell maxijet 900's for a few $$ more). so...help again, please?
-Abbott
60W running means ludicrously large heat dump. Self priming means its shaft-driven and thats just a terrible idea.
well, (as ive been turned away from those already) the 60w running would only get to the water via the shaft (all other pumps that are similar to that one show that there is about a 1" clearance between the pump housing and the motor body. and the good thing i would find about it being shaft driven is that you never have to worry about the cheaper pumps not starting correctlyQuote:

And if you really think thats enough advantage to outweigh the fact that you have a shaft with seals, well, I dont really know what to say o.O
i trust your judgement, i had said that i was turned away from the shaft pumps already, and had centered on either the via aqua 1300 or the maxijet 1200 or dual maxijet 900's. and your right, it is a scary thought when you incorporate the possibility for the seals to leak out. the reason im saying the false starting is because i have an el'cheapo 700gph mag drive pump that likes to oscilate on startup every now and then (not to mention that its rather noisy)
-Abbott
Yeah, that is the one downside of magdrives, you have to pay more.
could you find me the stats (flow/head/current, i doubt youll find PQ) for these pumps youre talking about?
0' 1' 2' 3' 4' 5' 6'
Via Aqua 1300: Flow (gph) 370 349 317 254 190 119 79
wattage: 31.5W
maxijet 1200:
flow @ 0': 295GPH
wattage: 20W
maxijet 900:
flow @ 0': 230GPH
wattage: 8.5W
correct me if im wrong...but thats the most i was able to find
Those stats dont look very exciting. I mean, the DD MAG-II LE looks to be a better pump than the Via Aqua 1300... let alone the others.
I've got an offer on a used MD-20RZT for around $100. For roughly the same price I could pick up a new 18W DDC+ and an Alphacool top. Assuming that I don't care about the AC/DC difference, because I don't, which will do a better job with my loop (in sig)? Second, how big is the MD-20? It looks preposterously large.
Incidentally, is there any easy way to get my hands on one of Raadical's delrin tops? They look a damn sight cooler than the Alphacool.
[edit: This is infuriating. It's almost as if the planet's seach engines have a blind spot for Raadical. Try "raadical turbo" or "raadical delrin" or "raadical laing" or just plain "raadical" or anything along those lines in Google. Either I'm retarded (entirely possible) or Raadical's site -- which I have visited in the past -- is effectively invisible.]
It *is* preposterously large. Its also rather loud, and gets almost too hot to touch... the 2 together make decoupling it a tricksy busieness, as it will gleefully melt its way through a pad of Petra's Gel, and it would have to be a fairly large pad to begin with.
I believe the official Iwaki word on MD-series operational temperatures is "if you can pick it up without screaming in pain, its not too hot". Make of that what you will.
Either pump is mucho overkill for a block that responds so badly to high flowrates like your TDX however... regardless, a top-inleted DDC will most likely win, by virtue of nearly identical head pressure, higher flow and lower heat dump.
Oh, and it works fine if you just search for "Radiical": http://www.radiical.com.au/
Ah, so I was retarded. :coffee:
Thanks for steering me away from the Iwaki.
*shrug* dont get me wrong, Iwaki Stormtroopers are GREAT pumps... but not if youre after ease of installation or silence.
Theyre major advatage is that theyre built to survive nuclear holocausts - when all that's left of this world is a dead and dusty ball orbiting a swelling red star, alien xenobiologists will be puzzled by the multitude of metal armatures covered in flaking paint and bearing the arcane inscription "Iwaki, Japan".
aMp..are you in the US..the Radiical top from Australia to Tampa was $41 + flat $9 shipping=$48Quote:

Ok so what pump should I get if my system was totaly designed toward mass flow and not pressure?
I'm thinking the Iwaki MD20RLT or dual MCP655s
Note: THIS IS NOT A COMPUTER ENVIRONMENT
They will be in an open loop cooling system opperating from 0C to (-10C ) with only to restrictive points.
Has anyone got a bookmark for where the test is where they tested the inlet size on the alphacool ultra top?
Cant find it :(
Hey I was just looking around Performance-Pcs and noticed they had a new DDC top called the "Alphacool Laing DDC Dual attachment Hardwareluxx Edition" Here's a link:
http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...ducts_id=20552
So apparently it connects two DDCs to one top...I haven't seen this used anyware yet but Im guessing it's a no-no, considering it gets rid of the top inlet and that two pumps using one top just generally sounds bad. Also, since mounting a DDC upside-down is bad, Im guessing you would have to mount this thing side-ways. I just wanna see what you guys think about it...
