Got a Swiftech MCP600 on the way for my first ever watercooling system

Will let you know how it goes and will post all my pics in my thread at http://forums.procooling.com/vbb/sho...?t=8639&page=3.

rocketmanx · 01-14-2004, 07:13 PM

I have 3 MCP 300's
a Hydor L30
A Danner Mag3
A MCP600 which I just put in place of the Mag3. I just love this mcp600, smaller quieter and better temps than with the Mag3.

I also have a Little Giant 300gph 2E-38N which I've never used. Bought it when I first thought of water cooling and was gonna build my own system. Now that I look at this pump it's built VERY well. Might have to give it a try.

I also bought the Custom Sea Life Velocity 3 pump I inquired about a while back. Way overkill as I was told but it looked to nice to pass up. Still have yet to work it in to the system yet though.

Iwaki MD30RZ (100 v unit)- love it
Maxi- Jet 1200- dislike it

kibbles · 01-16-2004, 06:56 PM

Via Aqua 1300 - did the impeller mod with some crazy glue, but after ~4 months of near continuous operation it is in need of replacement. The space where the shaft goes through the impeller has worn down on the end opposite the blades, to where the impeller shakes around and makes more noise again. It probably was out of balance or something.

whats the maximum amt of time the Ehiem 1250 can be left running non-stop??

*klonk* · 01-22-2004, 05:04 AM

I'd thought i'd let y'all know that Eheim is out with a "Compact" series which has roughly the same specs as the 1046-48, 1250 series, but costs ALOT less. The only problem is that it's a submersive only pump. Another plus besides quality and price is that flow can be ajusted with a slider going from 150 liters/hour to 1000 l/h (compact 1002 model)

I just ordered one and will hopefully be getting it tomorrah

Then maybe i can test some flowsettings and see whats best

(had a long discussion with someone about flow yesterday - sheesh)

A few years I think.

We were discussing this with pH, and came to the conclusion that Iwaki is talking about the amount of heat released in to the coolant probably. Anyway I contacted Iwaki about this, and hoping to get an answer from them early this week.

Bruce, yes the pump consumes 31W. The pump will burn you if you run it for 3+ hours or so, but I think it is due to the metal casing. There is also a 10W value on the pump maybe this is the wattage dumped? All I know, is that now, the pump stays very cool due to the fact that it has the HC fan blowing over it, see below.

krazy · 02-10-2004, 05:56 PM

My brand new Danner Mag 3 arrived today., and I started playing with it immediately.

I'm planning on gluing the impeller to the permenant magnet with some JBweld (when I find some) and possibly replacing the O ring with some kind of sealant.

I initially thought the pump was broken or defective when I first got it and plugged it in for a second to see how it sounded dry. The pump clatters a bit when it first fires up submerged, as well as when it is trying to pass more than a tiny amount of air. Gluing the shaft should take care of this though.

I sealed brass barbs onto the inlet and outlet with teflon-based pipe sealant goo (the kind in a can with a brush; not teflon tape).

using a MCP600 myself :-)

The 10W value is the shaft power that is delivered to the impeller. The other 21W is gone due to motor inefficiency (as heat into the pump's metal casing as well as into the water).

Rio 1700 I don't know the head but it's rated for 642 gph. Does good, it's a submersible pump, not much heat.

alexwai · 03-08-2004, 07:18 PM

Iwaki MD-20RZ(M)
Hydor L30

nexxo · 03-09-2004, 01:44 PM

Have a Johnson CM30P7-1. Except for the noise and the limited lifespan, it is a kick-ass pump: solid, powerful, compact. Still, 2500 hrs. MTBF...

So now I'm installing a Davies-Craig EBP.

kronchev · 03-09-2004, 02:08 PM

Hydor L20. Hey, I overpaid and was dumb. If I had a choice, wouldve been Danner Mag 3, maybe saved some and gotten a Maxi-Jet

TerraMex · 03-09-2004, 02:15 PM

2x1048, series.
I already had one, and bought the second dirty cheap.

I've got a few more which i dont use , like a Via Aqua 600 and a Maxijet 1000.

any chance on selling the 1000 very cheaply?

#Rotor · 03-09-2004, 07:15 PM

here is mine

as can be seen, power is plenty, from there the ceiling-fan controller switch

specs AC-2CP-MD

must be why my temps go up 2 or 3 degrees when my case is closed (my pump is the iwaki MD 10NL)

Well, i sometimes use it for testing and stuff. Rarely. But im not thinking about selling it for now.
Either way, i'm from Portugal (EU).

@#Rotor

115 v?

#Rotor · 03-10-2004, 12:45 AM

yes... a rather iffy 115V at that... Hydro-One is most likely sponsoring it's exec's new 2005 SUV's for next year... but nothing a couple of transformer-station-revamp-schedule-cancellations can take care of.

Fear not... my

double Fission.Reaction(long Dumpster.slush)
{
return (Clean.Power );
}

Subroutine is almost working

liaisonextreme · 03-11-2004, 12:29 PM

Okay here is a n00b question. I have a 1986 Caprice Heatercore. I want to add a DDRBX P4 CPU Waterblock, a Maze 4 GPU block and a Northbridge cooler. That means 3 restrictive blocks, but a large radiator. Would a Mag 7 be too much for this or just right? I will be using 1/2in for all connections except I may may the intake 3/4in just to make the throttle a bit smoother. Am I nuts?

liaisonextreme · 03-11-2004, 02:23 PM

What do you think of the MAG-DRIVE 5 from Danner? Will it be good enough for cooling 3 chipsets?

a mag3 would be better - as in a restrictive setup the mag 3 pumps as much if not more than a mag5... whilst using less power

liaisonextreme · 03-11-2004, 08:11 PM

Yea but I am going to be running a CPU block, NB block and a GPU block with a Caprice heatercore. That seems like alot of work for a pump to handle.
