which pump should i use

[flyboy_21]

so i'm planning on a little water cooling project and cant decide which pump to use so here are my three choices

Phobya DC12-400 12Volt

Alphacool VPP655 - OT12

Laing 12V DDC-1RT Plus

All of them are good pumps but it depends on how many rads and water blocks you are using. For one radiator, a CPU block with or without a GPU block the Phobya or the Laing DDC will do. If you are using more than one rad, a CPU block and cooling more than one GPU then i'd grab the MCP655 vario or the Alphacool VPP655 as it's called above, same thing just a different label.

The advantage of 655 over the other two though is you can adjust the speed of the 655 so if you find it noisy you can turn it down but you can't do that with the Phobya or DDC.

i'm probably gonna have a 560mm rad that's a 4x140mm of course a cpu block and a gpu block but didn't decide if i'm gonna go dual gpu or not

I'd go with the 655 then that way if you do decide to go dual GPU you already have a pump good enough for it.

and the 655 you posted is speed controlled which is a big plus. I find mine running at #3 and i have cpu gpu blocks plus a 420 and 280 rad
