EK-D5 Dual TOP

[=[PULSAR]=]

So let me get this straight with the dual top the overall performance gain is roughly 135lph?

So let me get this straight with the dual top the overall performance gain is roughly 135lph?

I think the gain with the D5 dual top (at setting 5) over one D5 (at setting 5) is 177 lph.

The gain with the D5 dual top (at setting 5) over two D5's in series (at setting 5) is 42 lph.

Unless my math sucks. :P

Will this reservoir fit the pump top?

Don't be distracted by the picture... One have one port the other has 2 of them.

Thanks for the links but can't seem to find the top. This is going to be one beastly cpu loop when its done.

@Scaniris just curious what was lph with single D5 @ S5? Is that the 586 lph photo?

[Utnorris]

Well, I got mine setup tonight with just using a single bay res and I have to say I am impressed with the results. Granted you probably get the same results with two DDC's, but I didn't have two of those laying around and after getting the top for only $58, I say it's a winner. I have the EK Supreme Classified block and the Koolance GTX295 block, both seem to be very restrictive and I am finally getting a respectable flow rate of 1.38Gph (Max setting) vs. a single one where I was only getting around .8Gph. As I said before, I am sure that 2 x DDC's would get just as good, maybe even better depending on the tops, but I am not complaining. It bleeds very quickly when sitting with the pump facing up. Now all I need is the res parts to come in and I can finally put this build to rest.

I am having the same exact problem as you UT, thats why I am picking up another D5 and the dual top in hopes to bring up my GPM

[Utnorris]

Here is a sweet deal on them, although it is white, but for the price you may be able to live with it.

I ordered 3 of em
I'm rly impressed...I rebuilt my current system and the flow is much better than before though I used 2 single d5 in all my loops.

The top looks super nice!

Hers a link with some info on this top. No English, but some performance graphs.

So can I use the EK Dual top without a reservoir and use my old reservoir in a 5.25 bay??

I can't find any place on the net to see if I can just put a compression fitting instead of a Reservoir

also, I wanna know can I put this Top on the side making one pump over the other, instead on the pumps side by side?

Thank you

[RCG_Bex]

You can. I have the EK 250 res but not directly attatched to the dual D5 pump. It's just hooked up via some hose and BP fittings

ok

Thank you

Do you think I can put the pumps vertically, one over the other?

[the finisher]

Wouldn't think it would matter, not a expert on this though.

[RCG_Bex]

Think it's ok tbh. Providing the pumps sufficiently get fluid...

I like this dual top. My flow rate oscillates between 7.9 to 8.2 LPM (474 to 492 LPH). I suspect that I need to clean a small amount of accumulated "gunk" out of my CPU block in order to keep the flow from oscillating like that.

[Church]

2.1 gallons per minute? Very respectable flow indeed. What additional waterblocks except EK Supreme HF in your loop?

[SkItZo]

Does anyone have the dual loop pump top (http://www.ekwaterblocks.com/shop/pu...-acetal.html)?
Does it have mounting holes on the bottom so that i can mount the pumps horizontally instead of vertically?

Thanks

See the installation PDF. You'll see that it has two ways to mount the pump top.

[SkItZo]

Yeah, i did, but wanted to be sure because they sell the dual pump single loop top with the mounting plates, but not the dual loop pump top

1st this is one of the best topic's and well explained one I have seen. Am new to this water cooling. Am building my 1st water cooling system. I have all ready got 2 D5 because I wanted to setup 2 loops for my pc. But now I like this better one loop and a hole lot of GPM's, may be. I have 2 Swiftech MCP655 and on the spec's it has, Operating voltage range 8 to 24 VDC. Now has any one ran this pump's at 24vdc? And would this give me a better result?
