ViaAqua or Maxi-Jet

Sn0rKy · 09-15-2003, 07:41 PM

would a viaaqua or a maxijet make enough water flow to cool a 2.6 p4 on a maze 4 block and a DD gf4 waterblock... to a heatcoreE?
either ran submersed or inline.. if it makes a performance difference...?

You didn't mention model #'s, but either pump would provide enough flow to cool your CPU.

The big issue is reliability though. Both of those brands have rather poor reputations for reliability. It's probably well worth it to save for a better pump.

Since when? I have had no problems with my Maxi-Jet other than user error(overtightened inlet nose). The Via on the other hand I have heard about though, but can't speak from experience.

I have a Maxi-Jet MP900 (~200GPH) running through a heatercore and d-tek spiral on my XP1600+. I don't think you should have any problems as long as you can figure out how to attach the hose to the Maxi-Jet's semi-non-standard fittings.

Warm water or a heat gun can be your friend.

I have a ViaAqua 1300 and a ViaAqua 2600. The 1300 is 16W and the 2600 is 45W. The ViaAqua works fine but is flimsy. I cracked the outlet just by tightening the plastic oring sealed 1/2" adapter. I wasn't being unreasonable. Also the plastic has all but fractured for the inlet impeller end cap. This means is doesn't seal properly and is weeping.

That said. If you are gentler than me

the ViaAqua is cheap and does the job.
