Choosing The Best Pump for Your WaterCooling System

[dj_mix]

I have a mcp600 now, but the connector(where you put the tubing on) is broken. I can repair it by buying a used pump, which don't work. It's 25 dollar incl shipping. I can also buy a used laing D5(mcp655) for 50 euro incl shipping.

If i read the startpost, i can better buy the mcp600 right?
I will use it with:

Swiftech MCW6002
Swiftech MCW50(want to replace this with a mcw60/maze4)
BIXII
Danger den 5 1/4" bay reservoir.

Which pump of those 2 is the best for me?

I have a old pump head from that pump (rev 1) the bearing part has failed but the outside casing is perfect shape.

Rev2 pump heads are different so if you need a rev1 outside casing and live in the usa I let mine go cheap.

I have just this one:



I don't know if it's rev 1 or 2. It's just that black thing.

I don't live in the usa, i live in the netherlands(europe). But if you only ship that thing, i don't it's expensive at all. It don't have to be a package, you can put it in a big envelope?

just pm me, if you have that black thing, and it's all right(perfect shape).

Aussie noob here,

i have spent the last few hours reading through all these posts, and i didn't seem to see any1 mention pumps from Australia, i noticed shipping & customs fees are not very cheep, so i was wondering i any1 could point me in the right direction in regards to finding a suitable pump here in Australia, i was going to order a Water Cooling Kit, but i see alot of you have built yours from the ground up using the best parts.. so I'm going to try and follow in your footsteps

i dont like playing the noob part but you have to start somewhere i guess

I am buying/building my new rig next week
Cpu: e6600
Mobo: evga 680i
Ram: ocz 2 gig 800 mhz
video: 7950 Bfg

any help regarding a suitable pump from Australia would be great, i would like to cool cpu, and gpu.. and thanks in advance to alll who reply

Aussie noob here,

Hey Darren1981 - I have the same problem, but I bit the bullet and bought from Thermochill & EK Waterblocks. Seems like we have to pay the premium for our 'splendid isolation'

I've searched hi & lo and the only thing I wanted that I could source locally was the trusty ol' Lian Li case. Good luck and let me know if you find anything of worth locally.

I should add that the total freight charges I've paid come close to $220 AUD for all my o/s sourced gear

i thought ***k it ill take my chance and order from the U.S.A .. so i choose all my (cooling) parts, only to find out newegg dont ship to aus.. and thats where i hoped to get my parts for my computer too, soo now ima kinda realy a mess, everything you guys have over there we get 6 months later & pay a extra 50-60 (AUD) dollars, example e6600 (U.S) roughly $320- thats about 420ish (AUD) over here in the so called lucky counrty $470 (AUD) ...
so now pc new rig is going to be getting a large down grade for the same price ... so i start to wonder will a 386 realy need water cooling
any1 out there want to help me out and order my parts for me and ship them to me

Just put together a new WC rig for a friend and noticed the DDC+ he received had a blue impeller. I didn't have a camera with me, but there seem to be some changes to the pcb (startup issues fixed?)and the impeller inlet shrunk.

3rd party tops constructed with a lip torwards the inlet might not work too well with the new impeller.

Hi All

I have an Apogee GT on the way and and have a BIX 3 radiator already here.
As i can get one quite cheap would an Iwaki MD15 go well with these 2?
The plan is then to use the Nautilus on the 1900xt with an MCW60

Many thanks for any inf
