ihave a friend who is using the sme block and same radiator as u.

he has nexxos cpu, nb and gpu block, with 2 MORA (yes, TWO MORA2pro)

he was using a DDC in the system, but he finally switched back to his 1046 because he thinks the DDC makes a very annoying noise compared with 1046. (by the way, he uses 2 mora passively, so the only component that make noise is the DDC)

anyway, when he switched back to his eheim 1046, he only gets 2c higher than when he was using DDC.

i am using DDC too, its makes some annoying noise even compared with the 3 fans at 800rpm that i used on my radiator. so, now i have switched back to eheim pump too.

so, if u are looking for a quiet computer, stick with what you have,(or just get a DDC, dun even think of D5, its noiser than DDC) if u care about that merely 2-3c of cooling performance, get a D5. oh, one more thing, u will have to use 1/2inch ID tubing if u are gonna use D5, using smaller hose on D5 will just decrase its performance badly which loses the point of getting D5.
