The Topsflo TDC is a similar in quality and performance but, more competitive price than a DDC pump. Virtually identical in size, and more silent then the DDC, the Topsflow is an amazing $30 in savings over a simlar sized DDC. The TDC pump can put out 6 Liters/minute and has a maximum pressure of 58PSI and 2 meter head pressure.

The TDC pump can put out 6 Liters/minute and has a maximum pressure of 58PSI and 2 meter head pressure. The TDC draws half the wattage of a DDC at 6 Watts vs the 12 Watt of a DDC. On the noise front the TDC runs at a mere 26-30 dB vs 40 dB for the DDC. The TDC features 3/8" fixed barbs, a 3-pin cable for power and RPM monitoring and is rated for 50,000 hours of use (the same as a DDC). So what's not to like about this little gem of a pump? We have been running one in the shop for over 3 weeks and it runs perfectly and silently...it really is quite an impressive little pump.
As the computer industry continues to accelerate its pace towards implementing liquid cooling solutions,pumps have become a pivotal concern for the adoption of such systems in mission critical machines. Small size, low or no maintenance, similar to that afforded by fans, and extended reliability are prerequisites for the successful transition from air to liquid cooling systems. The TOPSFLO TDC is the qualified pump to be used in mass produced water-cooled workstations, and presents an ideal solution for liquid cooling of processors and electronic components.
***Please note that even though it is similar size to a DDC it will not accept any DDC pump tops. There is a 2mm difference on the inside seating.

"The Topsflo TDC costs less (no reservoir here though!), and outperforms the X2O 420 while being quieter with any loop you can throw at these. In fact, the TDC even outperformed the D5 Vario on Setting 3 in my example loop and will only get better relatively with higher restriction loops. It is also a quiet pump generally, and is powered by a 3 pin fan header for voltage control if need be. The pump also occupies a smaller footprint than the DDC or the D5, and sips low power thus not needing any heatsink."
