OC3D Review: Laing DDC-1T And DDC1+ Ultra Tops Shootout

Erm... I'm confused...

The conclusions don't seem to match the results.

For example, in the data set showing "Actual Flow vs Head Pressure Performance" I would conclude that the Laing, whilst showing very poor flow rates, demonstrates consistently higher head pressure performance than any of the alternatives. The Alphacool demonstrates lower head pressure and lower flow rates than the XSPC and the OC Labs XP.

In all the flow test data sets, the Alphacool shows lower values than all but the original Laing top.

In the actual head pressure data set the Alphacool is fairly middle of the range at low voltages but levels off quickly and is beaten at high voltages by the MCP600, OCP Labs XP, XSPC and DDC01S.

From these results, I would have to conclude that the Alphacool seems a pretty poor performer against the other models tested.

Am I missing something obvious? :confused:

Cheers

The results are being updated to include additional tops and a modified testing procedure. An addendum will be made to the conclusion of the review to reflect this shortly
