Pump question

Arkangyl · 05-02-2005, 06:13 PM

Hokay, I've found a MCP600 rev. 2 for $45 shipped, which sounds pretty good to me. But I'm wondering, how will the MCP600 r2 perform compared to a MCP350 or MCP650? I checked the systemcooling.com reviews of each, the MCP600 review gave the MCp600 lower numbers than the MCP600 got in other reviews (point, in the MCP600 review it was a 7' head, 165gph pump, in MCP350/650 reviews it was a 10' head, 185gph pump) and I'd like to know what to expect.

Basically though, if I want to make a good WC loop should I get the MCP600 rev. 2 for $45 or get an MCP350 or 650 (once the 350 is modded they seem rather similar in all applicable ranges, 4' to 8' on the PQ)

thanks

edit::

system :p

MCW 6002-64 (might go to TDX or other jet block soon)
Maze 4 (6800 Acelate top)
double heatercore

also how quiet is the MCP600? thanks

I'd get the new rev MCP650, better reliability than the 600 and nearly identical in head, perhaps even more than the 600. It is supposed to be quiet now too.

Yea, I saw the thing about the MCP650 r.2 being really quiet. Also the 350 is small :p

but $45 for a MCP600 seemed pretty nice to me.. and I'd rather not spend more than i ahve to

the numbers on the systemcooling review are a bit odd... if u look at the 50Z review they ahgve (which is the new mcp600's) they get better numbers from systemcooling.. odd if u ask me.. i talked to the reviewer about it and he wasnt sure why it was the case.

for 45 dolllars id go with the 600..

I'd go with the 600. After all, no one has even tested the new revision of the MCP650. For the money, the 600 is better.

Ill see what i can do about testing the mcp650 pretty soon.

To clarify, it looks like the official name is MCP655 from the two sites selling it so far. Can we use this name to clarify which one we're talking about? Thanks...

Thanks for the advice guys :p I bit the bullet and bought the pump since I need one and my budget is a little tight at the moment
