Laing DDC-1 and DDC-1T Owners Gallery



To join this gallery, post a picture of your DDC-1 or DDC-1T pump(s) in the loop, out of the loop, stock, modded, enhanced or customized. (AKA Swiftech MCP350, Danger Den original DDC 10W, Corsair Nautilus 500 pump, Corsair COOL pump, AlphaCool DDC ...)

If you have an OCN [Build Log] provide the link as well.

Showing off your pump setup and arangement can help others in their loop development.

Looking forward seeing some great stuff here.

you don't necessarily need a new top, but yes a new top would increases the performance and aesthetically as well

When I had a single pump fitted and a single radiator.





Now with dual pump and dual radiator

I converted the pumps to plus versions and added heatsinks to the bottom, as they did heat up a lot more after the mod.

thats very creative with the way you joined the dual rad.

Here is my bmaverick pump on my "not-yet-finished" build..!! Would love to get one more and convert my loop into a dual pump powerful loop with a dual xspc top!

20120904201908481.jpg

So here is how it goes...

1 bmaverick pump=good!, 1 pump+1 pump = 2 pumps ---> 2 pumps = stronger loop ---> stronger loop=enough power to watercool GPU and MB, 2 bmaverick Pumps = Perfect!

Equation Solved!

Don't have a camera right now, but I also have the dual loop XSPC res with two of Bmaverick's pumps in my setup! I love everything about the pumps, except the noise they make. Anyone have some tips on making them operate a bit quieter? I'm open to all suggestions.

well your best bet would be to buy a pump box that makes it silent as its full of sound dampening foam...
for example:

You can also just use the Base of the unit as a stand alone noise dampner.. Might be worth a look for you

Actually, noise can be from a few factors.
- An added retail top with larger sized fittings. Like anything, increase the flow, the noise will increase.
- An added RES top. Depending on the top and retail version, the noise can be a droning sound or a higher pitched noise like a blender.
- Loop restrictions on the inlet or outlet or both. Cavitation deals with vapor bubbles forming in the pump when restrictions happen.

As for the sound enclosure, it is best to try the soggy sponge solution first as mentioned at Martin's Lab's for the DDC pump series. It's low cost, can come in various colors, keeps the pump really quiet and the pump will not heat up. (note, the sponge is not soggy wet, that's just the name. Or known as the kitchen sponge, 3 for $1.)

Nope. There are four screws accessed at the base that you remove it takes the 3/8" barb top off and you mount whatever top you have for it and use the screws provided with it or reuse the screws that you removed to get at the original top.

Yes, I know that, I mean how do you attach it to the floor of the case for example. I see some pumps with screw holes on the sides but I don't have those.


I mean these

With my pump it is just sitting there. The way the tubing is set up on my rig, it make the pump say in place very nice. I do not have any kind of problems including vibration. I have used velcro in the past. Probably not the best thing to do but I did. I placed a very small piece on all 4 corners of the pump base. Just dont put it over the middle cuz some of these pumps need to breath and you don't want to overheat them

If your intake to the pump is on top, i.e. you have a 35X or an aftermarket top, and your outlet can basically point towards where the flow is going next, you should be able to just suspend the pump without it touching anything. That way, you have max cooling and max decoupling for silent operation.
