Pump Advice

Is 2m Lift enough for a dual 120 rad, Intel C2D, 8800GTS and a drive bay res ?

Probably tbh. The basic DDC is 3.7 (acc too STs site) and its more than powerful enough.

Some watercooling geek will prob come and shout at me for head/flow/pressure not bing prefect now. But imo it would prob do.

Ahhh too late, I caved in and bought a Swiftech MCP655 and a Black Ice Xtreme II radiator :/

Might use the D-Tek dB-1 pump for a SFF build later on sometime, looks a pretty sweet pump (thats the one I was on about with 2m lift)

You meant 2m max head pressure (which translates to around 6.5 feet), which is 4.4 psi max pressure. That is considered weak for a pump...

"enough" is different for everyone. If you think its enough then fine. If you absolutely feel that you need 2 loops with 2 ddc+ with petra's top or even 4 loops with 1-2 RD30s each (someone on XS actually is planning something of that magnitude...), then that's you.

Black Ice Xtreme isn't as good as MCR or Coolrad...wtv you already got it. Well good luck.

Ah thanks for that info on the pump, thought it was 2m lift as thats what some websites say.

Also I got the BIX over the BIP, didn't want to spend £50 for a PA 120.2 and couldn't find any MCR/Coolrad stuff so...

Good choice, Laing D5's are awesome pumps.
