The D5 is a large form factor pump, ideal for liquid-cooling systems with multiple radiators, reservoirs, and waterblocks, whereas the DDC has a far smaller footprint, and is ideal for small form factor and ITX PCs. With liquid cooling, because there's so much coolant being pushed by the pump, the coolant has a far higher thermal capacity, giving you time to cool it down via the radiator's far larger surface area, with more fans. Now, that's an issue, because we know liquid cooling isn't an easy task, and building a loop to then have to strip it because you have a dud graphics card is going to take a considerable amount of time. 02 Make sure any excess G1/4 ports - on graphics cards, pumps, reservoirs, or radiators - are sufficiently plugged with plug fittings.
