I think the idea of using through bolts/nuts rather than threading the top itself makes a great deal of sense. After my experience with the Stasis Thermal Neptune block I'm leery of threaded plastic as a retaining method irregardless of the type of plastic involved.
Yes, of course it is.MoreGooder said:Is the inside of that rez annodized though?
One of the four mounting studs pulled right out of the block. It's a 2-56 rod, threaded into the Delrin top plate. Horrible design, IMO.voigts said:What happened with your Stasis Thermal block?

No, he means the D5. The D5 does whine quite a bit compared to the MCP350. The MCP350 does not have that high-pitch to it at all and is quieter also. The D4 sounded like a fire truck.mistermr said:you must be thinking of the D4...... the D5 is quiet.

You know the usual "MacGyver" DIY WCed Parts you see. Wow!! was I wrong. This is a first rate job. Nicely done!!!
BWR said:The 18w DDC pump you had seemed to have major problems. When you finish your RMA and receive your new DDC, the test results should be more accurate.
Indeed.voigts said:Clocker2 timed his 18w with an Alphacool top and its time is almost the same as my time. So his 18w pump timed about the same as mine.
clocker2 said:Wouldn't it be something if your top ended up being better than the Alphacool?
I don't know as I have no 10w version to play with.voigts said:Does the 18w really perform better than the 10w despite what the numbers say?
