Swiftech to release optional HSF for MCP35. pumps

[eXa]

For 15 bucks i wont be afraid to dremel it atleast

Oh and just for the record. Im a fan of Gabe and swiftech and have been for some years. Shure they made some mistakes but they do make good quality products and Gabe always seemes so proffessional on this forum

[zytrahus]

I for one like the compactness of my MCP355 but I gotta admit there is plenty of room in my case (around the pump at least! :P ) so 60x60 or 80x80 is going to be the same for me.

[Waterlogged]

Well, I can't argue with the price but, it looks like the fan is limited to a 15mm or 20mm thickness at best and if you cut the sink down to the size of the pump, your also going to have to rework the sink by adding the holes for the standoff screws if you want to keep the isolation system intact.

I think I'll stick to Koolance's as it's a bit more proactive about heat removal as well, what with the thermal pad touching both the sink and the PCB. Could really care less about keeping warranty in place. I'm actually more interested in the new 140mm rads Gabe. Depending on their size, I may have a home for a MCR140 right now.

Waterlogged: .. with GTs+adapters?

[StAndrew]

Looks nice! I never thought these pumps would need a heatsync, but for ~$15, why not? Great work as always!

We published an update on temperature tests here:

It's out now, and available for immediate delivery.

Err Gabe, you notice how this won't work for dual pumps right?

A simple G1/4 coupler can stack them like this, and nothing stopping you from adding a heatsink to the base of the others too.

Okay... that looks odd. Surprised it can maintain it's balance. (and even when running!) But yeah, I meant a 'real' dual pump top that most would use for a dual pump setup.

[Utnorris]

Yeah, I think he meant with a dual top. I am in the same situation. I have the Heatkiller dual top and this would have been nice, but the pumps sit right next to each other, so this won't work. However, I picked up my pump to see if it needed any cooling and even sitting on a towel with no airflow it was just warm. Worst case I can use the ones Bei Fei gave me. Back on topic, I really like this, probably more than the Koolance because of the built in stand it gives you. It's a great idea and the price is right. I will say it again, Gabe and Stephen, awesome job on the new products and innovation, really liking the direction. I am really interested in the new rads, hopefully we will see some more details soon.

Ahh...I see.

If I understand it right... these heatsinks simply mount to the base via the two base screw holes. You could probably make it work by drilling new holes and using a dremel to create the screw head socket.


Or you could simply cut one side down whatever that overhang is. You would loose the inner feet, but that's probably no big deal when you have two mounted to a solid two pump top. The latter option would probably look the best. The cuts would butt against each other, so you wouldn't even see that.

[Utnorris]

Actually the second suggestion is a good idea, Martin. May think about that. Thanks.

Did anyone else notice on the HSF page that it mentions an unknown pump "35B" as part of the MCP family?

[Aberration]

While I agree, and that radiator test was god horrid, they have come a long way and I'm willing to give them a chance.

I started my water cooling with swiftech, but even they ed up, see the apogee GTX with aluminum and the colbalt coating that didn't really hold up

Everybody screws up, koolance has come a long way. But still when I look for WC parts, switech, EK are on the top of my list.

I have had a GTX since they came out, and its still running great with no corrosion.

Good catch..

PWM 35 series with Laing top?...not sure.

Thanks!
That could be good for anyone who wants PWM but plans to use an aftermarket top or maybe one of those bay res combos...

[Avathar77]

I have a mcp355 for 6 months now but havn't noticed any high temps with it, its on top of a noise damping foam like thingy as well. Is pump heat a big issue when it comes to longevity?

Could be a new product?
Let's ask Swiftech.

[Alexandr0s]

Lol, very funny Stephen .
Could you tell us when we can expect to hear more about it?

[stephenswiftech]

Soon! ©

Swiftech Unveils the MCP35B pump - Product Page..."A feature-packed, high-power, high-reliability pump on a conservative budget"

BTW, did you guys also notice that the MSRP of the MCP35X dropped to $99.95 ???

[zads]

But note this: the amount of heat that goes into the loop remains very limited, so the primary benefit of installing an HSF to the pump would'nt be noticeable for loop thermal perf, but rather to remove heat from the pump.

Gabe, we need to work on your marketing.

Looks like its MCP350 (non-PWM) with the 35X top, right?
Also in this post: request for new rads info and request to make radiator fan gaskets

[Church]

gabe: simply wow
With price dropped i see NO reason to get other DDC varieties anymore*. Heck, at same or lower price better top & pwm for free? Humans love freebies

* Except those rare who care about not loosing warranty and using bayrestops.
