I've been running a ViaAqua 1300 continuously for close to 1.5 years now (well, it just had a couple weeks to relax as I upgraded and rebuilt pretty much my entire system, but its back running again now). It never made any noise at all before, but after the rebuild it rattles a bit. After Fragapalooza I'm going to open it up and try the superglue trick, but I don't want to risk anything causing my computer to not be functioning for Frag so i will just live with the noise till the end of this week. I think the first poster made a rather large typo though giving it a rating of 20A - 20A at 110V would be a DAMN lot of electricity. It is however rated at 23W, which is what I think he meant. I used to have a thermistor taped to the side of it from a digidoc-type device, and the pump would max out sometimes near 70C (thats running the pump 24/7 even if the computer (and rad-fan) are off - once the rad-fan is spinning it would cool back down a bunch.

I'm planning on upgrading it to a Hydor L30 in the next while though, because I don't think the Via has the power to keep my system cool anymore when I add the GPU and northbridge WB's (currently just a Maze-2 and rad, no res, in the loop).
