EK's new pumps

[NaeKuh]

on the CPX-pro all fittings work fine, comps, barbs all brands, I'm not sure what you mean about bits not working...

the smaller one wouldn't.

:T

Look at the inside barb area on the small unit.

They may have fixed it, but the unit i have, wont take anything minus EK and D-tek Barbs.

Eddy can we see the thread length of your compression barbs?
That would probably answer this question.

It's not a DB-1, it may be fine

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

Ok, I wasnt referring to the small one, I have only used a CPX-PRO, but when I had mine it seemed like an excellent pump

[NaeKuh]

Am I the only one who had problems with it?

im not saying they aren't.

Ive recomended quite a bit, and i also have used 1.
But i used the old EK barbs on it.

I had the 2 smaller ones laying around.
Ended up throwing them both in a box because i couldn't use the bridges i wanted to hard mount them.

+1 With the pump and man those fittings look smexy , more Ek pronstars please

There's a recess at the inlet/outlet of the DB-1, probably a full 1mm, maybe 1.5, before the threading actually begins, which can give you grief with some very shallow-threaded barbs/fittings. I don't think the CPX was ever as bad, though. And comparing that photo to my own DB-1, the 2.2 looks like a bit of an improvement.

Yes!

Using EK barbs on mine, and they're fine, going a good few turns in!

Has a lot to do with the diameter of the O-rings on the barb, The conical entry to the pump thread contains, and compresses a smaller diameter O-ring, further down, towards the thread, allowing far more purchase on the internal threads.

if that makes sense......

[Vapor]

Am I the only one who had problems with it?

Not at all...my DB-1's inlet port only grabs non-BP/Koolance barbs I was going to use a BP male-to-male fitting and connect it right to my res, but I've been forced to use a tubing bridge with the stock DD fitting at the inlet.

It won't even grab without an o-ring

I think the two EK is bringing out should be better

We will have something good to offer with these pumps.
A reservoir Pump combo.

Let me know what you think.
It may not be for the most extreme enthusiasts, but for users with a little space or or beginners I think it is a perfect solution.

Please do something about the cyclone problem. I had your EK-DDC X-Res 100 and it is impossible to bleed if low viscosity coolant (eg. PC Ice) is used.

Did you use the anticyclone inside?
We are selling now with the anticyclone part.

the smaller one wouldn't.

That would probably answer this question.

The length of the thread is 4,5mm + little bigger o-ring 12x2mm like we use with our barbs. We find some compression fittings have too small o-ring.

Yes but it doesn't help much esp. with low viscosity coolant.

I managed to solve it by connecting a tubing on top and fill the coolant 3/4 way up that tubing but that's really unsightly.

[Migi06]

Lol phobya got same pumps.. too many same pumps now: DD, OCZ, EK, PHOBYA, any more?

Still its good to have more these "bargain" pumps

[Eddy_EK]

Phobya?!?! This is starting to make me feel @$%@~!@$€@

[Elloquin]

Phobya?!?! This is starting to make me feel @$%@~!@$€@

LOL no worries Eddy. I have two of the larger pumps connected in series pushing through a Black Ice GTX 240 then an EK Full Copper Supreme then another GTX 240 and then finally 2 x EK 4870 x2 full cover blocks (no res- t-line) with an i7 D0 920 running at 4.0 GHZ 1.232vcore all one loop. It OCCT's for at least 2 hours and the temps of the cpu never breaks 60c on the hottest core and the gpu's float around 49c stock. They are nice little pumps. *note* running them in series makes em a bit noisier but not much.

Looks like everybody is rebranding those little Jingway pumps now...

What I'd really like to see is someone either track down or develop some relatively small, quiet, and reasonably priced 1.5-2GPM 12V DC gear pumps. That would be the sort of product which could change some aspects of water cooling for the better (until someone decides to pull a self sealing quick disconnect coupling while the pump is running ).

I like those!!! Could 2x be fitted side by side each other in the drive bays? I hear those Laing's are getting stupid prices too!

Comparisions plox!!!

you mean sort of how a oilpump is constructed? that will be hard to make quiet and reliable with only water as lubricant, but not impossible though...

and yupp, pulling one of those "self sealing quick disconnect coupling while the pump is running" should make a nice fontain inside the computer when it starts popping the tubing from the barbs

Oh, there are plenty that exist, it's just that most are rather overbuilt for our purposes (external gear pumps tend to work fine with water, internal gear pumps (like those used as oil pumps in cars) are usually meant for use with higher viscosity fluids). My guess would be that switching over from more traditional brass/bronze/steel construction to materials like UHMWPE and high molecular weight POM in an external gear pump would probably help with cost and lubricity/durability issues.

Indeed

[Tommie_lj]

the pressure of a gearpump is no joke.. using a gearpump will make single loops with tri-sli and several rads possible while maintaining needed flowrate.

i will do some research about this... very interesting thought!

[PiLsY]

Any plans to rotate the reservoir 90 degrees as an alternate model? Not to keen on the whole cylinder next to a box look.

Soon as those comp fittings come out as high flow 3/4" OD I'll have some of those. More accessories to come? Id love to see some competition for bitspower with the twist and angle fittings they do. 2 snakes and 5 anti twists cost me more than my pump ffs. And they barely twist!

Love the pump though - have 2 already . (and went out on the town on the money saved over a ddc...)

Too bad the barbs on this are for 3/16" I.D. tubing. I've been sooooo tempted to get one just to play with it for quite a while now. Would like it if the gpm could be a good bit higher but who really cares when you have 22psi?

Reservoir can be rotated however you wish, also the pump.

[Seor]

look like jingway pump

[Mech0z]

really looking forward to see some danish prices on this res/pump combo to see if it will be cheaper than the XSPC duel res pump

[PiLsY]

Sorry Eddy, I wasn't too clear with my description - I meant so that the base of the reservoir attaches to the inlet of the pump, like the traditional ddc+res look.
