ddc beats a D4 there. Even though its a D4 its still pretty comparable to the D5. D5 has slightly higher head/flow so might be slightly ahead of the ddc with that system, but the ddc still has lower heat dump and is quieter. Also with a more restrictive higher performance system (storm instead of rbx, gpu block included) the ddc should pull ahead due to higher head.
For the hardcore cooling freaks though, the ones who really want that last degree, two of these pumps in series (with 1/2" mod) is a good deal and is comparable to the rd-20/md-20z |
I agree with you on this being a waste of money but I think the number of blocks is very relavent.
As you know the perfomance curve is not linear so decreases in flow can have much larger effects than increasing.
ie, you see little difference from adding pumps but a big diff from adding restrictions. Lots of people going SLI these days.
Of coarse when you got 3-4 processing units dumping heat the low heat output of these pumps doesnt make seem so important anymore.
