Best 12v Pump?

El]v[0IsEv1L · 05-05-2005, 09:36 PM

What is considered the best 12v Pump.

MCP600 rev2?
MCP650?
PolarFLO TT Pump? (looks to be identical to the MCP650 but with a nice finish)

or other?

And if other.. which one?

I'm looking to replace an Eheim 1250 with something a tad more powerful when it comes to pushing up vertically.

My loop goes from the pump at the bottom of the case, to the CPU block to the rad at the top of the case.

Any ideas?

Price does not matter, availability does.

Best by what criteria?

In my personal experience to date:

For power & flow & low-noise, as of last week, the Swiftech MCP655

For pure efficiency, the old Swiftech MCP600. However, if you feed it 14v then ignoring the extra noise, it's still better than the MCP655 when one factors in heat dump.

For compactness, low-noise, adequate flow and low noise, the MCP350.

The MCP350 is quieter than the MCP655 when the MCP655 is set to a similar flow/head setting?

At 12V how would the pumps fall in a noise ranking?

kaotic504 · 05-06-2005, 01:03 PM

wouldn't it be nice if swiftech also had a trade up program so that i can get a new MCP655 instead of my MCP650.

Oops I've been sitting tight on my MCP655 assuming I wasn't supposed to talk about it because there wasn't a Swiftech product announcement.

So was I, until I saw posts from people saying that they had received the MCP655 pumps from retailers (www.voyuermods.com being one in particular).

I figured, hey, if the things are shipping to people, then the gig is up.

El]v[0IsEv1L · 05-06-2005, 04:07 PM

So I should wait for the MCP655 then?

Because I can get an MCP600 or MCP650 right away..... but I'll wait...

Sounds good thanks guys..

I bought the Alpha-cool AP1500 centrifugal pump. Is this on par with the others mentioned here or shall I upgrade?

When is the MCP655 coming out to Dangerden and other places? Will it outperform the MCP600 now?

XTATDSM · 05-07-2005, 06:51 AM

it will outflow the MCP600. but that does not mean it will outperform the MCP600
However, MCP655 consumes more power than the 600 (more heat dumped into the loop), so it really comes downs to how flow hugrey your blocks are and how much heat your rad/rads can get rid off.

FYI sidewinder has the new swiftech pumps in stock

I dont that is right, it says "mcp650" then under that it says "Introducing the MCP650™ (also now known as MCP655) pump"

How can that be when they are 2 different pumps?

starbuck3733t · 05-08-2005, 07:35 PM

Jeeze that's friggin confusing. maybe its just a typo?

scooterfl · 05-08-2005, 08:48 PM

re sidewinder - The pic is of the new pump, and the 3rd paragraph says :

Quote:

As of 05-01-2005, all MCP655s now feature a black housing and built-in potentiometer to adjust the flow rate of the pump.

They probably know what they are selling..no I dont work for them. Easy to call or email them eh

El]v[0IsEv1L · 05-08-2005, 08:53 PM

Wow.. the MCP655 sounds pretty awesome...

No, I'm guessing the 650 may be a dead model. Word on the street had it that Swiftech has been shipping 655s to VARs in place of 650s for a while, leading up to the official product announcement.

DangerDen, by way of an email to a forum member, have confirmed that the "new D4's", are in fact D5 pumps.
