Which pump is the best?

[wrenaudrey]

Im going to be ordering the very last components of my WC loop in the next couple of days. I've only got the pump, pump top and cpu block left.

And im wondering which pump is the best out of these?
Alphacool VPP655
XSPC D5 Vario
AquaComputer D5 w/ TachoSignal
Or are they all the same?

And this pump top, it's the one for those pumps right?

Thanks all in advanced

Yeah they're basically all the same, I'd get the VPP655 (I personally have the MCP655 which is essentially identical), and I have that pump top too, which is the correct one, and I think it's one of the best looking ones

they are all D5 pumps branded to the respective resellers. they are all made by the same company.
if it matters I'm running 2 of the VPP655's in my rig they're alright hum a tad over setting 3 but thats to be expected with any of them.

I'm running 5 of the VPP655's in my rig

Am I reading this right or are my eyes failing me at this late hour?

What? How? Why? What?

sorry I meant 2 lol

I can vouch for the VPP655, I'm running one at setting 3, as mentioned anything over 3 it does hum a bit. But with all my fans at 5v it is still quieter than those.

Thanks for all the reply guys
The VPP655 seems to be the most popular one and is more or less cheaper than the other two.
But one more thing, if they're all d5 pumps and are meant to be exactly the same, why is it that VPP655 is the only one with 1500l/hr and the other two are 1200l/hr?
