Well i'm trying to change my current order of 2 DD DDC 3.25 pumps for dual 350 pumps x 2 for 2 loops. Noticed that runing dual 350s were a little better then runing dual Laing D4s that i was planing on runing.
350s would be much quieter to boot right?

I had a Laing 3.2 go very similar to that. I now have two 3.25 and in the testing phase these guys are virtually silent. MUch much quieter than the 3.1 and 3.2 I had.
I use the xpsc rad tops and have thousands of hours on these pumps. However there are 120mm fans that blow directly across the pumps.
A while back, my MCP35X stopped working in the Swiftech H20-320 edge during the night. The CPU boiled the water and blew the tube off the CPU block before shutting down. I got off lightly : only the pump was dead, nothing else, despite everything else getting wet, including the power supply.
Taking the pump off the radiator I noticed that the retaining screws were very loose and when I got the pump off, quite a bit of water was in the PC board section. I made sure the new pump was securely attached and I'm finally starting to trust it after a couple of months of use.
I finally performed a postmortem on the old pump and it's obvious why it's not working. Power FETs and water don't mix very well it seems.
