Sounds like you need to decrease your flow rate. It seems like your not giving the radiator time to cool the water. Boy!!! I'm gonna have to come up with a patented way to slow the flow periodically as temp changes increase and decrease. But I must confess that I have never owned a water cooled system.
Silence worth performance loss?

higher flow = lower temps
but the flow is limited with the current pumps in the market

Ok, so the 18w DDC is actually a bit better than the D-5, in my loop at least. The only thing is that I was looking at the 9w version. The head on the 9w is right at 11ft., the same as the D-5., compared to the 15ft head of the 18w DDC. The 9w DDC is 6dba quieter than the 18w DDC. So if you don't notice much of a difference between the 18w DDC and D-5 they are probably the same. Would the 9w DDC cause my temps to raise?
Oh, btw I do have rubber between my pump and desk.

Actually in a loop the 18W DDC will have a little better flow then the D-5 with a multiple block loop. Noise wise I cant tell much difference between a D-5 or 18W DDC, but I'm not really sound sensitive. I mount my D-5/DDC pumps with a rubber flat plumbing washer between the pump and case, or whatever I'm mounting it to, that takes a lot of vibration out of it. Might be worth trying before you buy another pump. |

The 9W DDC is going to be little weaker. I want to say it would be about like the D-5 on the #4-#5 setting, but I don't know that for sure. It should be in that range anyway.
It should be fine with just a CPU and a core only GPU block, for a quiet loop.
The 9W DDC are pretty good little pumps, those were the thing to have when they first came out.

Good to hear. Considering my D-5 is set to 3 3/4 anyways. It should be exactly the same...just quieter!

Yeah it will be close. I hope its quieter for. Just don't completely cover the bottom of your DDC to quiet it down. The bottoms get pretty hot and you need to let a little air circulate under them. Those rubber flat washers work great for DDC's.
