I just spent the last 2 week doing a 1/2" copper pipe WC setup with maze4 blocks and a pondmaster mag drive 700 gph pump and I just started thinking that a mag drive pump might not be computer friendly. does any one know how strong the magnets in these pumps are and if it will hurt anything in my computer. By the way has any one seen pictures of a copper tube setup
 
the magnets don't affect anything. people have run these pumps on top of HDD's, they're fine.
 
do you know why the magnets don't affect anything? I have my pc on top of a table right next to my monitor. And my monitor pictures shakes a little on the side closer to the pc. It never used to do this until I redid my water cooling setup and added a Mag3 into the mix.
 
a magnet will only affect ur monitor, u should keep it away from it.

magnets will only affect other magnets in ur computer. Luckly the ones in ur harddrive requires a very strong magnets, microns away from the disk to change ur data. A magnet, even only a centimeter away will not harm it at all. (magnet strength is divided by distance squared, which means a exponental decrease.)
that goes for fans as well.
