EK-D5 Dual TOP

[NaeKuh]

what's with all the D5 hating?!

do i really need to answer that?



i have enough pictures of DDC's to make you also hate D5's.

Hell no. Those tops rock. No I have an idea for a new build using one of those double wide DD cases. Thinking 2 loops with two of these units. So 4 pumps altogether. Each loop will have 2 D5's. Kind of a waste but I am thinking aesthetics as well as loop redundancy which makes me sleep better.

So how is this solution better then dual DDC's on a dual ddc top?

Im very lost.. you guys are COMPLETELY FORGETTING why we get D5's over DDC's now are you?

How about.. umm.. cuz they were hush quiet when downvolted.. now u have two of them so you lose the noise edge they had over DDC's.
And if you think your smart, and u downvolt both of them, well, you just matched the noise of a DDC.

This makes no sense unless u already have dual D5's and u need a top for them.
Otherwise if ur getting an entirely new pump package, and you pick this over dual DDC's.. oh boy... time to bust out miyuki. :X

Guys think about it.. its a 160 dollars for top + 1 pump.
Umm dual ddc's + xspc tops = 160 dollars..

Whats the winner? dual DDC's with tops OR a single D5 /w dual top?

i'll say this once more, and i dont intend to offend d5 users.
You guys just havent been in the hobby long enough.

You WILL EVENTUALLY get a DDC. And once u do, you will HATE a D5.
(like in the old days, we told everyone, eventually you will get a 120x3 class radiator, and now its the standard.)


This is speaking from experience.. i had 4 D5's and probably now over 10 DDC's total. (lost count of ddc's)
