:(

I hooked up the new heater core and everything, and started bleeding the system. It seemed to have a lot of air bubbles lately, but I just ignored it until tonight...

I start wondering why after like half an hour there are still plenty of air bubbles, so I go and lift up the pump off the bottom of the case, and it's covered in water :( Stupid freaking Swiftech MCP300... Add me to the list of people who have had the pump crack and leak on them :\ I dont know how Swiftech can conscienciously continue including this POS pump with their watercooling kits.

It's a good thing I didn't leave it in the stock fill & bleed drive bay thing ncluded with the kit, or else my entire system would be covered in water.

I'm going to email Swiftech, and make them send me a refund, with which I will purchase a good pump.

Any suggestions on something that I can get for cheap, but won't crack/leak on me?

just goop the swiftech pump to hell...

here is the fitting that will conect 1/2 coper tube to 1/4 npt . you can find it at www.mcmaster.com.

Do they have 1/2" Copper tube, to 1/2" NPT?

Thanks,

When I was in the store I managed to find one... but only one, so I went with the 1/2 tube to 3/8 NPT since they actually a few in stock.

Lowes has them both...

hi all

didn't know lows caries them, i'll check the local lowes

At my branch, they are in an assortment in drawers near the coil tubing...

cool, thanks for the info

Thats an extremely common fitting. Shouldn't cost over 50 cents at any hardwarestore.

Ya I know, I do not know why I posted that....
