Pro/Forums - View Single Post - New CSP Mag pumps... do they finally have something

How will the back mounted inlet effect the pump's performance? Will it increase head or flow rate? With the DDC the axial mounted inlet led to decreased head with an increase in flow rate. I'd imagine that you'd see similar results with a back mounted inlet on the new CSP-MAG. Though it is all speculation at this point.

Dave: who did you say was going to be first in North America to carry the pumps? I'd like to get my hands on one to test it out. What sort of price point will we be looking at in the states?

Suggestion: Don't make the sucker out of aluminum in the future and you'll make a lot of people happy. Try Derlin. It's a plastic that can be easily milled. Danger Den is currently using it on their maze 4 GPU blocks. It is basically inert and I can't imagine that it is much more expensive than aluminum. I'm sure that 90% of enthusiasts would pay an extra $5 to avoid problems with galvanic corrosion.

The Flaw List:

All we have so far (in our observations) is a little bit of exposed aluminum around the threads. Does anyone else with a cynical eye want to add something?
