Cobra> We've got something coming in soon that should please you.
I have a 140mm fan question for you guys:
* Would you prefer a 140mm @ 1800RPM w/ PWM?
* or a 140mm @ 1500 RPM without PWM?
note: 1500 RPM w/ PWM can't be done at this time. :)

1500 RPM is plenty for most people here I'd say as long as it has decent static pressure, which other 140mm fans seem to lack. As for PWM, I won't be buying any more fans again, unless they are PWM capable.
thank you :)
anyone else wants to give an opinion?
Same as above. If you guys have any PWM fans, I'll gladly pick up three for my system. My system uses PWM only so it can control them real-time. (It's a series of headaches and small victories, but I'm slowly beating it into submission.)
Hello Stephen,
Would you and Gabe mind voting in this poll on XS, please gents - same goes for the old hands and experienced watercooling boffins :)
Much obliged.
Probably the odd one out here but I wouldn't buy a 140mm fan that's over 1300 max rpm and that's already pushing it. My current 140mm fans run at 50% voltage and 600-700rpm constantly and I'd actually go for something that is <500rpm at 50% voltage, or there about. I'm considering replacing my current fans with a 800rpm at max voltage version. As for PWM, without, for me.
Most PWM fans can start up at a lower speed than you can by lowering the voltage of a fan.Quote:

I've got 12 of these going into a build next week, and I must say that at stock 1800 RPM they're quiet. Taking them down to 5v I can't even hear from a foot away. I wouldn't buy these if you're mounting them horizontally pulling air in though. I don't like how the fan blades sit on the motor. Very little pressure causes them to grind up against the housing in that configuration.
EDIT: Listened to them again, and there is some feint sound coming from the bearings at all speeds, but it's extremely hard to hear.
Hi, is anyone using the MCP35X2 with an MCP35X-Res ? Can you confirm or deny the statement that the MCP35X2 is too much pump for such a small res ?
The MCP35X-Res handles the MCP35X2 just fine :)
MCRESv2 FTW. Any newer versions of this res coming with any possible improvements?
I'm using the MCP35X-res with a MCP35X followed by the apogee drive II. Not quite the same but should be pretty similar from a flow/pressure standpoint. Anyway it works fine but if you are using the top port on the reservoir as the inlet as I am it helps to put a barb on the inside of the res with a couple inches of tubing on it. I saw this trick on another site, can't remember which, but it completely eliminated any vortex and the loop was bled in probably under ten minutes.
Nice, noticed swiftech's 690 block appearing separately at shops. But even more suprising seemed to me this evga classy/ftw x79 full cover kit. Interesting to see swiftech (hydro copper probably implies vendor? no mention of these @swiftech's homepage though) making motherboard blocks too.
I saw them say they were going to make some specific MB blocks back in January. The EVGA is the first one I have seen for sale. Looks good too.
with swiftechs agreement with evga will we not see blocks for other boards and no full cover nvidia blocks anymore?
Stephen, can you tell us about the new Swiftech 35B pump? Is it an mcp350 body with the 35x housing/top? If so, it would seems a way to get the mcp350 with a top already on and maintain warranty. Thanks. :)
musicfan: you guessed right. mcp35B = mcp350 (not pwm) with better top.
thank you churchyQuote:

So, no?Quote:

not at the moment but if you've got any suggestion for improvements just let us know we really enjoy user feedback here at Swiftech!Quote:
