Water cooling pump dying?

MxPhenom 216 · Mar 1, 2014

Have the new pump in. Just bleeding out the loop now. This pump has noticeably more power behind it. And its about 2x quieter. Pump used to be the most noticeable thing in terms of noise when it was working, now I think that job as switch over to my SP120s.

Must be that time of the year, my pump (EK DCP 4.0) is dying, too. Grinding noticeably bad, ordered my replacement yesterday :laugh:

Mine would make the grinding noise every time it would turn on.

So you picked up an exact replacement and you say its much quieter than yours was even before you heard the grinding? I've always felt this pump of mine was much louder than what everyone who owned or reviewed them seemed to say. I was going to order a new D5 with a nice top and cover for looks and to cut the noise, but I have a feeling my pump has been messed up for some time and this new one will be much quieter.

Well it was an older version of the MCP350. Quite a bit older. I got one of the brand new ones(Could potentially modify it to a 355 (18w) pump) , and it is much much quieter, more power too. There is a lot more movement in the reservoir then the other pump. .

Overall temperature drops at load on my 4770k at 4.4GHZ is about 4-6 degrees(Ambients are a bit lower today though). Just from pump change.

MCP350, maxes out at 12w at 12v. Most motherboard headers are 1A (12w). So Running a MCP350 while still not exactly over 12w, is still pushing the limits of the header.

Actually the DDC-1T aka MCP350 is only 10W. The fan header can support 12W. Many people just run the DDC-1T from the CPU fan header to get the tach speed of the pump reported in the fan speed app of Win7/8. What really pushes the limits on the header is the amount of mA being drawn. The DDC-1T draws a mere 750mA under load. Well below the Intel ATX form factor mobo specification. Laing did this for a reason for the HP data servers found throughout the banking industry around the world; These 1U and 2U rack servers run 24/7/365.

Lol I was waiting for you to give me the shits about my post lol!

I was getting at that be the 1st thng I'd install! I have 2 SP 120's on my rad and a HF 120 blowing over my card! Best freaking fans I've ever used thanks to you my friend! :rockout:

Yep, I like them a lot. Some people have had a lot fail on them, but none of mine have and I have like 8, only 5 of which I actually have in my system. I used to run them on a fan controller till ive had my 3rd fan controller fail on me, so decided to just run a voltage limiting adapter to just run straight to my NZXT Fan Hub.

Nice! I just use the built in fan controller in mt Corsair 650D and It works just amazing!

I wish Corsair made a fan like Noctua, a 140MM but mounts to 120MM holes in the rear of the case. i have the 140/120mm Noctua pulling air from the back of the case inside it.

I wish Corsair made a static pressure optimized 140 all together. I do plan to get 3 Phantek 140mm fans (white ones) to replace the stock 140mm fans that came with my 750D.
