(Teaser - Test results to follow soon.) Test results up!

Eddy_EK, are these tweaks going to be applied to the DDC Dual Turbo Top as well?

I'm going to have to do a DDC top test/review I can tell, lots of new gear coming out very soon!

Yep, provided you don't just point the pump up with out tubing attached. Attach tubing to the outlet (5m+ of tubing) use a tree or something tall to attach the tubing to and proceed to turn on the pump and measure how far up the tubing the water goes ;)

Yeah i figure since pumps are measured in feet of head pressure, this is an easy way
for anyone to measure their pumps.:)

Awesome work!!! Thanks for putting in all the time and effort!!

Thanks for all the positive feedback, guys!

And thanks for the info on how to measure head pressure. I'll see if I can find a place where I can set up a long enough lenght of tubing to do such tests. I can't promise anything yet, since I'm quite busy with several other tests (including radiator-stacking, an idea I got from reading in these forums), but if I can fit it in, I will surely do some head pressure testing soon.

Cheers,
Shane

Ooooooo I'm curious to see the results of this one, I'd posted about it as a possible solution about 2 months ago but the general consensus was it wouldn't be worth it but I still think it could help ^^

Yeah, there was quite a discussion about it including the idea of double-threading radiators. I've seen some discouraging tests of stacked radiators but none of them stacked two identical ones with fans in between. That's what I'll try. I'll also have to see if and how fan speed plays a part.

Of course, I will post the results here on XS as soon as I have them.

Alright, I've been browsing around ekwaterblocks.com and I'm not sure if it's been posted yet, but the new EK-D5 X-TOP G1/4 Rev.2 top is out and so is the EK-DDC X-TOP rev.2 Acetal/Acrylic. The former goes for 29.95EUR while the latter is going for 18.95EUR. ;)

Very nicely done, great review HESmelaugh!
