Hi guys.I have to cool my i7 6700k and an amd rx 480.I have to decide between a d5 pump or ddc pump. If I have understood well d5 pump is best to cool a restrictive number of elements.The ddc pump instead is best to cool a lot of elements...Is this right?In my case a d5 could be the best choice?

D5
- Quieter
- More Flow
- Runs Cooler
DDC
- Smaller form factor
- Has more head pressure
- Runs warmer
- Noiser
Either or is fine really.

i have both and like the D5 better. i bought the ones with the adjustable speed, basically i set it around 3 and have never had a problem. the DDC i had to buy pwm based fan controls to keep the speed down or else it's loud. with the DDC i'm under 2000 rpm's and it still cools pretty good.
Glad I picked that as my first pump then, can't wait to use it. Now with a fairly unrestricted loop only 3-4 90's and 3/8ID does running too fast a speed have a negative impact or something that needs to be dialed in just right (noise isn't a negative for me).

I haven't understood well the advantage that the heat gives and the advantage that waterflow gives...in a loop with two radiators and a gpu and cpu,what type of pump is better?If the system has a lot of friction a d5 will suffer,but in terms of prestations what could happen?
Thanks, this pump is AWESOME. Downside is my R4BE doesn't pick up it's RPM's so I can't adjust but otherwise completely silent with lots of flow.
