Request for part selection in water cooling custom loop project
I'm working with a 1 EK-XTOP Revo Dual D5 PWM Serial pump and running my current loop using several components: 3 HWLabs GTX 480 rads, 1 alphacool XT 45 420 rad, 1 EK XE 360 rad, 2 EK-RES X3 400 reservoirs, 1 EK-FB ASUS R5-E10 Monoblock RGB Edition, and 2 EK-FC1080 GTX FTW with acetal+nickel full blocks. In one loop, pump fans are fully controlled, but the Rampage V extreme edition 10 offers strong PWM support, including a fanheader for waterpump with high amps and a Qhamp header for high-amp applications. I have push/pull configurations on the GTX rads and EK rads. I also use an AquaAero 6LT with four ports, all powered by a Swiftech 8 Way PWM Splitter-SATA. It would be wise to upgrade to an AquaAero 6 XT or LT for better performance. For tubing, I’m using 16mm hardtubing inside the case back on the backplate; I opted for 19mm soft tubing to connect all components in the loop. Regarding fans, I recommend Corsair ML Pro 120mm and 6 ML Pro 140mm for the 420 rad setup and exhaust systems. My opinion is that the 120mm ML Pro offers the best combination of static pressure, airflow, magnetic levitation bearings, and quiet operation compared to the Vardars Noctua 3000 industrial fan. You may need two pumps for this configuration.
I own an EK-XTOP Revo dual D5 serial pumps with PWM pumps in a dual pump volute. The head pressure is equally shared between two D5 pumps, offering good backup if one fails. It’s extremely unlikely for both to stop at once.
Splas0rr :
I have a EK-XTOP Revo
dual D5 serial pumps
PWM pumps in a dual pump volute Got head pressure equally to 2 D5 pump plus a nice insurance if 1 pump dies I got redundancy highly unlikely that both pumps die at the same time.
lol I missed the dual part... saw the 1 and just read it as one pump lmfao

I almost forgot the dual part; I saw just one pump and thought it was a single unit. It's fine, not too hard to miss.
