been thinking of getting the swiftech mcp600 cause i hear it rocks when it comes to pressure but i cant find any solid reviews on it at the moment therefore i thought maybe i should buy the iwaki MD 15R.

my question is would the iwaki perform better in a loop with 2 blocks and modified 11-1/2" x 6" heater core?

Let's see. The MD-15R has a max head of 3.4M, 300GPM @ 0 head and consumes 30W. The MCP600 has a 2.2M head (at 12V) and flows i think 160GPH @ 0 head. I can tell you this, I do like the new Swiftech pump but the build quality of the Iwaki is second to none. If you even saw a 1C difference between the 2, I would be surprised even though the MD-15 will flow more, it also puts out more heat and is not plug and play like the Swifty. If I decide to liquid cool my NB and my vid card, I will be getting one of the MCP600 and running a totally seperate loop.
