I recommend the D5. Ive used both and I find the D5 to be near silent. I use an XSPC pump top reservoir. Very compact.
I have seen no value in premix fluids. I have used distilled water and silver coils and had no issues with my blocks, pumps, compression fittings or radiators. Also no...
Isnt the D5 made all by 1 company anyway? Cant recall but somewhere European.
I have 3 Swiftech D5 varios, maybe 12 or 13 years old, all humming along just fine.
I use a Bitspower top on all of them.
Second the flow meter.
Ive always used either black or white primochill tubing. So.....

Thank you.
I indeed looked through their website.
I even sent a support request in last week but Ive not heard back .
I know that my current AM4 kit will fit AM5, but I cant find anything regarding S1700 backward compatibility.

Love it.....dog > computer anyday.
I lost 3 last year. Two old age and one got wierd strain of leptospirosis. Nothing I wouldn't do for my dogs. PSA.....Vax your dogs!!
Good luck with everything.
I just upgraded from a 5700X to the X3D.
Its adding about 10% to FPS in some games. I am disappointed it cant OC.
I looked for over 2 weeks for a used one, no dice.
If you really want one....buy a new one, because the used price will be close to new.
Alternatively, the 5800X is cheaper, and...
Update may unlock voltage control on some cards, although I have not seen much of that in the 4000 series. The voltage seems locked in the BIOS. I have seen a few cards with higher power limits depending on the OC software.
That being said, the days of crazy high OC without mods or LN are...
