Well, .......after getting a replacement XSPC triple top for the one that failed, this one has started failing also. DDC 3.25's to tough on it I think, So I decided to split my loop since there are no other triple tops. I am getting acetal tops this time so this wont happen again. I need a dual top and a single top. I am thinking about these two:http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/ekwaekdutopv.html

Which would be better??
(New build):MSI Big Bang X-power II with XSPC MB blocks, Core I7 3930k@4.6Ghz with HT on, 3x GTX 480 SLI with EK Waterblocks(for now), X-fi Titanium, Gskill quad kit 16GB 2133mhz, 2x240GB Corsair GT SSD's(raid 0), 3xWD 2TB drives, Silverstone Strider ST1500 Watt, Dell3007WFP and 2x Samsung 305T's. Water loop: EK HF CPU block, XSPC RX480 Rad, Coolgate GC480, Airplex Revolution 420 Rad, 2x DDC 3.25 18W with EK dual top, Caselabs STH10 white with customizations....
Looks like one is v1 and the other is v2 with the capability of adding a reservoir.
Is there a difference in performance Between the 2?

Should be some difference in performance. But I doubt it will gain you 1°C on cpu.
But the new version is more practical for installing and mounting...

Eddy, do you know which ones has better flow? The res mounting isn't and issue for me!

The newer version has a bit better PQ than the Turbo top, still saving out images from testing with 3.2's so I don't have any images to share yet...
Just from testing I like the new version where both pumps mount on the same side, but the Turbo top has some uniqueness about it.

Thx Skinnee, I just want to get something that's not Acryllic after the 2 tops failed where it is glued. i didn't want to get the xspc dual top as the same thing might happen. On a single top, which is best?

the EK and XSPC are about equal in our typical flow range. Between the two, you get to be choosey by criteria other than performance.
Thx, skinnee, I will pick up the EK tops as they are acetel and still have good performance!!!

Performs great in tight spaces. We used one of these in a 5.25" bay without a single problem. Also, there is no need to worry about vibrations, assuming you aren't using the bottom bay drive.

So I ordered the white acetel dual ddc top from EK and a single DDC top also white from EK. Going to try to link the pumps together somehow(D-plug). I am not sure If I have the room for a dual loop. I might be able to fit a microres somewhere though.....:P Thx guys and Eddy!
