Danner/MCP600 Pics
 

I picked up the new Swiftech pump today and the first thing that stood out, (beside how sweet it looks) is it's small size. Here's some comparison shots:

This pump really moves alot of water for being so small. It's a perfect balance between head, flow and heat. The only thing is the 4 pin connector isn't designed for an external design. This can be overcome by lengthening it with an extender or soldering a longer tail onto it. As for temps I was at 27C using Nanotherm PCM+. This time I went with Shin Etsu, which is at 28/29C. Due to the longer cure time of my current TIM it's safe to say there was a decrease in temps. The temps are gathered by Asus Probe and a thermal sensor on my Enermax A5 affixed to the chip with thermal tape beside the die. Not 100% but all I have to go on. regardless it's a great pump without a doubt.:D

Are those fittings that are designed for tubes to be placed in? Is it possible to order it with just regular hose barbs?

The grey inserts are used for shipping. The hose fits over top of the barbs as normal.

Not sure if it designed for the swifty connectors or not, on mine I just slid 1/2 tygon over the in let and outlet didnt even use a clamp but I was just running a couple of simple tests. I will use clamps when my system goes live.

that pump looks pretty sweet. been thinking of buying one my self.

Kewl, thanks.

It looks like a nice pump, but it sure is spendy, for a pump.

Is there anywhere that stocks it for less than $80?

i have a question that i wanted to post on the pump test in phaestus' work log but didnt know if i could do it so... here's next best place

i have a dannermag 5 with 2 heatercores from dtek and a #rotor style block. im gonna add a gpu and maybe northbridge block to the mix.

anyways, im feeling the MAG5 is kinda hot to the touch, so i was wondering, what pump is good for my set up, i need really high flow cuz this mag5 (after loop) doesnt push a lot of water... like less than half of what it does with nothing connected.... like the pump could shoot water 8 feet away but when all is connectedd, it shoot maybe 1 foot... and it gets hot.. so i was just wondering what pump i should get, please no iwaki or whatever it is... im planning on putting it in a box full of water soooo, please any suggestions? thanx a bunch

Nice cat :D

Thanks Joemac.;)
jovetata,
If you're referring to a good submersible pump I wouldn't know. Maybe if you start a new thread on that topic it would attract the attention of someone who would know. There's allot of knowledge here.:D

cool thanx

bringing this from the dead. Bill is this pump made by/for swiftech? seems so to me.

is there any way to convert to 1/2 or 3/8 pushfit fitting?

one more this is more of a request: if you guys lowered the price just a little bit so it nearly equals ehiem i would imagine ALOT of people would buy this pump. i know i would

made to our specs
no (easy) way to convert to push-fit (John Guest)
we can get it with NPT male ends but that just adds 2 threaded connections, plus the adaptors to anything else

we should have a lower cost pump in a couple of months,
but lower performance too eh ?

we have made several changes and the present version is now quite comparable to the Eheim in terms of noise
- the old business of 'you get what you pay for'
and why we are so aggressively pursuing this present 'bug'

what bug? cuz i was about to purchace this pump to mount inline cuz im not digging the whole external rasevoir thing for my rig.

details here
not really a huge problem as it seems to affect ~2% of the pumps,
but 2% is too high and we are fixing it
