    Right, basically I'm having a few problems with low flow in my setup.

    As follows,

    Bayres > CSP MAG > HE120.1 > PolarFLO VGA > PolarFLO CPU (2outlets) > Bayres.

    Now, i'm wanting to invest in a BIX soon and add it to the system, but with having low flow rates already, I need a new pump.
    I haven't got the room for a 1250, and I don't want the hassle of running another MAG due to having to run it parrallel which is awkward in my case.
    I'm basically stuck between the D5 or the DDC, but I need know that it'll cope with 2 Rad and Possibly 3 Blocks in the future, and a new res.

    So which pump? D5 or DDC, unless you have alternatives.

    Thanks.

    I'd say the Polarflo CPU block would benefit more from the D5 unless you were willing to do the inlet mod to the DDC :)

    I could have a go at that mod, I think i'd be alright doing it.
    Does it improve flow enough? Since you were bitching about the DDC earlier :p

    Wasn't really bitching, they're a pretty cool 12V pump...Just pointed out that the stock DDC's flow rates are pretty disappointing compared to a 1250, they're much better with the inlet mod :p See this thread for details

    Yeah, what the hell I'll give it a go. Something to do ;)

    EDIT: realising this looks harder than it is, plan A or plan B (d5)

    Er. Are you actually unhappy with the temperatures you are getting?

    In any case the path to cooling enlightenment, says the Wise Master, is not through greater flow, but a bigger rad. Think 2x120 rads. Leave the pump be.

    How are you measuring the flow and why do you think its not enough? The CSP-MAG should easily handle that loop.

    You can ignore that tbh, i've found out what was causing the problems that I thought might have been flow related. :)

    If I was to JUST add a new rad with the MAG, would it still cope?

    Are you going to share with the class?
    What was the problem if not "low flow"?

    Seriously ignore, it was completely unwatercooling related.
