michaelzhao Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 Is the Danger Den DDC Pump the "Ultra" version or the "Plus" version. The ultra version gets almost another meter of head over the plus version. It does not specify on the Danger Den website at all. But does anyone know? Linkage to the pump here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorrento Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Ultra and Plus???? I have the Laing D5 and if there is a new version this one is probably the old one... but IMO it is just too powerful for anything you can throw at it. It has a lot of head and a lot of water flow.

michaelzhao Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 The Ultra has 18w of power vs. the Plus only has 12w. This results in almost an extra meter of head from the Ultra to the Plus version. With the top mod, this is even more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

watsonte Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 According to the forums over at Danger Den, the newer model the 18W model is being sold..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelzhao Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 Ahh... excellent! Thanks a bunch! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorrento Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 You do realize the diference is like saying "Who is stronger??? Godzilla or King Kong????" Unless the newer BlackIce radiators offer a lot more restriction than the Extreme ones, maybe this 18w pump will be a good thing to have Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ultra to the Plus? Of course the 18w pump is a good thing to have. Nobody said it wasn't. EDIT: I understand why you are confused. The original link I had linked to the D5 instead of the DDC. Changed link. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorrento Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 no no no, I mean one is super good... I know cause I have one... the other one is like even better, but like comparing titans: both are going to do the job well. Thats why I say that if the new Blackice radiators are more restrictive to flow than the Xtrememe ones then this pump would make a diference, sort of.

michaelzhao Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 Oh, I know what you mean. Ahh... I'm not going with a black ice though. Coolingworks for me! CoolRad 22-T. This baby has been putting up great temps exceeding the Xtreme series. There even has been speculation (key word) that it is on par with the Thermochill PA 120.2. But I'm most interested to see a comparison with the Stealth series. But anyhow, I'm going for the this radiator. Only 12 FPI! Easy to clean. Perfect w/ 2 Yate's (its optimized for low to mid CFM quiet fans). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorrento Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 Remember waterflow is overkill after certain point... it won't cool better with one pump or the other, however you will have the freedom to install aditional waterblocks and don't even care about waterflow restrictions at all with the new pump. I tried my "small" Laing D5 on a bucket of water and the waterflow was similar to my garden hose: I was like YIKES, water flow and pressure was impressive.

michaelzhao Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 No no no. This isn't a D5. This is a DDC! Smaller, quieter, less head. The problem with the DDC is that it only has a 3/8'' barb. You can find a mod to it that changes that to a 1/2'' barb. After the mod is performed, it gets almost if not as much head as the D5 on the "full" setting. It also puts less wattage in the water which is my biggest motivation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
