Another! D5 vario pump top. Shootout Time?

[slim142]

I just ordered one DetroitAC top to replace my stock top. I will be pairing it with a Bitspower Mod kit.

Hope to receive it soon and see this top in action

Results anyone? Thinking about getting two DAC's.

Thanks

Beautiful product mate.

I dont understand why Mr Ek gets into this thread to sell his products..

[MagisD]

Has anybody actually Fitted a BP d5 mod kit with a V26 top ? I just wanted to make sure they work together before I Finalized on them,I've seen posts of people saying they were going to but no Pics or confirmation's.

Hey,

Seems this is my first post. I just ordered my top the other day and will post some info when I get it.

record your results without the top....stock temps pls. I wonder if you get temp difference

Will do.

I will be redoing my loop though when I get this. I am running into the GPU then the CPU and the CPU is staying kind of warm still, so I am going to tee off from my D5 and run separate runs to GPU and CPU and tee back in before the Rad.

Are you going to test the bitspower top?

[skinnee]

I do not have plans to at this time. There was an incident with a manometer and some BP blocks that got me into not so good terms with Bitspower, love their 1/2" High Flow Barbs though.

Sounds like my compression fitting incident, only less costly..

Didn't you buy one of the water resistant manometers or something?

[skinnee]

Yeah, I learned my lesson and picked up a hydronic manometer (Dwyer 490 series). There are far too many "inicidents" thus far in my short LC testing stay...hopefully I've met my quota for a while.

[Hondacity]

dude any written documents regarding the incident?

[millertime359]

My Detroit AC top is at my parent's house now, sounds like all the rest my fittings and things will be there tomorrow when I go out there to visit. I should have some temp results posted by the end of the weekend. I will be taking my temps directly from Asus AI Suite and EVGA Precision Utility. I don't have any coolant temp sensors in my loop, but I think those temps should at least give a general sense if the top will improve temps.

Maybe if we ask nicely, Skinnee might be willing to do a more formal test.

[millertime359]

I love this top. It does make the D5 smaller. I had a little trouble finding room on the floor of my Cosmos 1000, now with this top, no problem. It was extremely easy to put together. The main reason I bought this was I needed the G1/4 fittings. This top is the cheapest and according to Skinnee's test, the best performing. Absolutely no complaints. Great work Erik.

@ Hondacity

I just got everything put back together tonight. As I said, I did change my loop a little bit. I will post a couple of photos, probably tomorrow, under the water cooled case gallery thread.

It doesn't seem that you will see any major temp differences. Using Asus AI Suite and EVGA Precision I measured in Celsius:

-Stock Head
Idle:
CPU - 44
GPU - 39

Peak:
CPU - 60
GPU - 49

-Detroit AC Head
Idle:
CPU - 45
GPU - 40

Peak:
CPU - 58
GPU - 48

I did not conduct this as an official test, so please don't take it as one.
