[Morae]

As much as I applaud the effort in creating a dual-D5 top that isn't part of some shitty bay reservoir... this thing is a bit ugly. What's the function of the acrylic base?

[Kuro]

looks pretty good I think

[Baleful]

I like the Acetal version, though I'm like Morae, what purpose does the acrylic plate serve?

[dingdong555]

Fuk yes!!! Imagine some nice red coolant flowing through that window!

[Crow]

I'd rather that little window on the acetal version to be Red Acrylic, but it still looks VERY SICK.

[ablatman]

I like the Acetal version, though I'm like Morae, what purpose does the acrylic plate serve?

Likely to seal that portion of it, just like the acrylic piece in the front..

[p0Pe]

looks wicked! But i too, would like to know what the acrylic bottom thingie is. some sort of mounting ?

[RedRaider]

I'll have an answer tomorrow, hopefully:up:

[p0Pe]

Sounds good:) Along with high res pics?

[Marne]

I thought you didn't deal with plastic barbie pumps

[mcoffey]

The acrylic plate's there to allow milling out the flow path between pumps. Some just glue it, or do it from the side where it isn't so noticeable. Now why they did it with acrylic and not POM must be for appearances and such.

At least that's my guess,

andyc

[cheapskate]

The acrylic strip looks to be for custom mounting. You could drop a countersunk screw on the inside and bolt it to...whatever. If you fuck it up, you don't ruin the whole top.
I like the idea. I bet you can expect swappable mounting systems for it too.
The freaky gaskets are an interesting idea. I might need to make some stuff based around a D5 gasket... Much as you guys hate UVpink, it will look good in Bloo if I upgrade the waterblock...

They need a black powdercoated D5 mounting collar now. One with the same knurling they use on the compression fittings.

[Dazmode]

Will look like crap with D5 stock black round retention ring.

[ablatman]

Will look like crap with D5 stock black round retention ring.

I'm *sure* that it is compatible with their D5 dress-kits....

[Dazmode]

Ah...., good point.

[mcoffey]

Will look like crap with D5 stock black round retention ring.

Oh fuck and thanks for catching that...scratch that one off the list. Those stock rings look like shit on a after market D-5 top IMO. Add another 39.95 per pump to get it right, but would look slick as a muthfucker if you went whole hog on a setup.

[Dazmode]

Oh, God. It looks worse then I thought. :puke1:

[CrazyJoe]

hmmm ... these might be tempting. I'd hafta run a test or two to see if there was a functional benefit.

[Overclocking101]

they dont look to bad. i may snag one up.

[bp-Vincent]

Pre-Mounted Acrylic is for Our own D5/MCP655 MOD Kit.

If you use original Ring, you need to add one more acrylic we have included.

[Crazy V]

I have 6 MCP655's going in the BlackOut Build for the three loops and would not mind giving these a try. When will they be up forsale? Not that it matters but whats the price range? I'll pickup the BP Mod kits form Sidewinders.

[cheapskate]

:rofl: OK, they already have a custom mounting ring available... Shows how much I pay attention.

[mdempsey]

does anyone know the ETA for these?

[Crazy V]

He had said a couple post above that they should be at the resellers around next week are so. I will be picking up 3 for the BlackOut build.:D

I'm guessing Gary will have these next week, and will probably have it listed on his site a week or so after that.

[Cutless009]

Looks aweful imo. Of course, that's secondary to performance, but still, it's nice to have both.

[Baleful]

The biggest problem I have with this top is what Andy pointed out earlier. You have to buy the entire mod skirt from BP to get rid of that stock, bulky, screw on ring. For the price of all that I could buy another pump.

[ablatman]

Yeah, for the price of two D5's, this top, and two BP pump skirts, you could just about get an Iwaki and 24V PSU...

[Jab-tech]

Hope you have deep pockets, msrp is $92 and I wouldn't expect any resellers to go much below that.

[BigMyke]

Hope you have deep pockets, msrp is $92 and I wouldn't expect any resellers to go much below that.

I'd like to see some valid performance benchmarks with comparisons for sure.

2 D5s in one loop vs 2 D5s with the BP Dual top vs one D5

[Crazy V]

They are high in price but i had paid $95.00 each for the EK D5 Dual tops i have now.:crack: I had used them and they were for this build. Two of them went to my other builds and one i am giving away in the WCG challenge.;) So i will replace them with the BP tops and pick up the BP dress kits also for this build. Should turn out nice! I hope they perform.:D

[Morae]

A D5 vario (http://microplex.no/Avdelinger/Datakomponenter/Kj%C3%B8ling/Kj%C3%B8ling,_vann/Pumper/Swiftech-MCP655-vannsirkulasjonspumpe-22060.aspx) costs $153 here. Nothing included. I don't think $92 is expensive.

[Ketzer7]

I realized one other unfortunate thing about this top: it's too wide to fit in any (stock) 5.25 bays, which to me would seem the most logical place to mount it, or?

I'm sure other places will work too, but would have been nice if it was < ~150mm wide, but then I'm guessing the pump rings wouldn't have fit on there.

A D5 Vario costs $77 here so the top costs 20% more than a pump.. In perspective it would be equivalent of you paying $185 for the top.

J-T, keeping it real. :D

Keep in mind you need *two* pumps to fully populate that top, not just one.

2 D5s in one loop vs 2 D5s with the BP Dual top vs one D5

Agreed ... if I see some performance increases with the Dual top when compared to a ghetto setup, I'd be more tempted.

Pump - $ 77.00
Dress Kit - $ 40.00 ( x2 ) - $ 80.00
Dual Top - $ 92.00

Total per set - $ 249.00



Iwaki RD-30 - $ 205.00
Power Supply - $ 65.00

Total - $ 270.00


I'd go Iwaki at that rate.

I would try the Iwaki but so far all the talk i have seen on the forum makes it sound like alot work to loop it in with all the suction/pressure it has. :confused: I have no clue on what i would need to make it work without having problems! I would rather spend the money on something thats not going to suck my system inside out!!! :D

Anyone know where to get some good info on the RD30? Like setting it up/Using one.

[Morae]

A D5 Vario costs $77 here so the top costs 20% more than a pump.. In perspective it would be equivalent of you paying $185 for the top.

At US rates:
I have 4x D5s ($77 each). 4x BP mod kits ($40 each). 4x BP tops ($40 each). What you're saying is that these new dualtops would cost me on average, $7.50 more per pump. The difference is chump-change.

I agree, And for me it is something i know how to use. And i already own the pumps! I'm not sure i personal want to go a single loop with all this hardware vs. my idea of the triple loops. So far it sounds like a hell of alot of work to make the RD30 work in a loop. I am open to the idea if i can find some good info on setting a loop up with an RD30! I have seen a few members back out do to the complex nature of that pump. It looks to be one hell of a monster!!!

[Morae]

When BP makes a dress kit for the RD-30, or Watercool makes a silencer for it, I'll be interested. At the moment I'd have to mount the Iwaki outside and run tubing through a wall to manage its noise. And from what I hear, only a 5-gallon bucket is a sufficient reservoir to cope with its thirst. Power ain't a problem though, I can tap that right from the wall.

it is a lot of work, probably RED or BigSlappy are the best to ask, I remember seeing bigslappy post a huge setup on XS a long time ago, I'll see if I can dig up the link for you because I am not sure its posted here to.

[Morae]

Originally I wasn't sold on this dual top, based on looks. But now I've reconsidered. Two of these would greatly simplify my build. So count me in for two in delrin.


John, one last comment, then I'll let the issue of price rest. Fittings. I'm using comps, and the old version BP top. Two pumps takes 4x comps, 4x stops. This dual-top requires only two of each. That easily makes up the $15 difference.

too wide with 2 d5s side by side... maybe they'll do back to back type so it'll fit a drive bay better...

crazy V: you may also use "Tag search" option of search, i think i've tag most relevant threads and new threads as they come along.

That's a very good point that I hadn't even considered, and it applies to both the BP and EK dual tops...

Been two weeks since your post. Still not seeing them anywhere. My budget may be tight at the moment, but I'm reserving funds for two of these suckers.

I believe Gary has them inbound, Bitspower raised a whole bunch of prices on parts for me, some by as much as 40% .. So err yeah I just cancelled these off my order.

[Greedseed]

why havent i seen this before ! looks pwn

[Morae]

Chick Patty Emporium has them.
Highflow has them.

Gary has had them for two weeks, just laying around, not up on site.

I'm going to kill someone if I have to wait much longer. I want my rig back together, but I'm not willing to buy from shitty vendors.

[Morae]

Yeah, so... I got my dual tops and assembled them. They look great. But I've run into a little thing I'm not sure about:

How do you mount these dual tops to your case?

The original D5, and BP mod tops, both included stands you could simply bolt to the case. These dual tops don't come with anything but threaded holes in their sides. The other brackets can't be used.

Has BP made a stand for these things that I don't know about, or am I gonna have to make some stands myself? The latter is no problem, really, but I guarantee that my work won't match the design scheme of the tops.

[SkItZo]

Chances are that its been designed to be mounted in a 5 1/4 bay and thats what the holes in the sides are for etc

[Morae]

Not possible. The outer dimension of the top is 160mm/6.3". The widest dimension with pumps installed is 175mm/6.9". This is using the BP pump covers though, so I imagine stock D5 rears would be a little larger still.

These are designed for cellars, not bays.

[DarthBeavis]

I am going to use one of these to upgrade my Brimstone build. Now I just need to figure out how to mount to a radiator. I have two of the BP dress up kits already.

[Morae]

The two bottom plates have different thicknesses: one if you have the dress up kits, or one for if you use the stock plastic pump housing. These allow the bottoms of the pump housing ring to rest flat on a surface. There are three screws in the plates. Mounted to 1 or 2mm material, they're good for securing the pumps to a solid surface. I'm using wood though, so I simply used longer screws.

In your situation I'd just cut a flat piece of alu, secure the pumps to it, and secure that to the rad.

This means removing the skull reservoir. I need to think of a better place to mount the pumps so people can see them (this build will be on display at BlizzCon so I want it done right).
