Any update on this? And any way to have the pumps changed over to run off 12V DC? With the mass availability of the Storm G4, the RD-20/20PI is very desirable... Especially after Cathar

The RD-30 is nice, but it is somewhat over-powered and hot (has too large of a heat dump) for anything short of a tri-fan radiator to deal with.
The RD-20 is a much better balanced pump as far as water-cooling use is concerned.
I have the 24v RD-30 here, and I get my best temps with the RD30 when it is run at 17-19v, rather than at its full 24v, and I have a 24x30cm radiator cooling the water (although with two quiet fans).
Internally the RD-20 is identical to the RD-30, and the RD-20 @ 24v runs pretty much like an RD-30 @ 20v.
So again, the RD-20 is the better balanced pump to be targeting here, and not the RD-30.
