A MCP600 shouldn't have a problem with this....

Jbroad572 · Sep 13, 2004

Chevette Heater core
MCW6002 cpu block
MCW50
1/2" tubing

Will eventually upgrade to a dual 120mm setup.
Should I have pretty good temps? If this pump is not powerful enough, would the MCP650 be better suited? I know the 600 is quiter, but they do perform about the same, from what I'm understanding.

I am buying it used from a forum member. I pm'd you that.

no one can guarantee you will get good temps since it has to do with lots of other factors. What I can say is I doubt you will see any noticable difference in performance between mcp650 and mcp600. If you can get the mcp600 for cheap instead of paying $79 for new mcp650, then go for it.

Nartac, the MCP-600 is probably much quieter than the Liang D4 aka MCP-650 and is still sold under the Aqua Extreme brand at cooltechnica.com and D-tek for about the same price as an MCP-650 ($80).

I'm not sure why swiftech changed from the MCP-600. It is a good 12V DC pump (with specs not that much different than the MCP-650) if you value a quiet system. By quiet, I mean you aren't sure if the computer is on when 4 feet away from the case.

4 Letters... MTBF which means Mean Time Between Failures.

I know MTBF; usually it's just guestimating it for a future project, though.
I didn't know the rev.2 pumps had problems. I knew some of the original ones did.

I can't justify a pump upgrade with an L30 that's quiet and an Eheim 1250 that evidently is worth more to me than potential buyers; I'll probably end up keeping it also. I like quiet pumps.

Yea, I thought the problems were resolved with the revision 2's. Am I mistaken?

gungeek, do you own a Liang D4? I have one and I can't hear that thing over my undervolted 120mm Sanyo Denki's at 7v. Even when the fans are off, I have to be less than 1 foot with case open to hear a slight humm.

How much louder is the 650? i was thinking about getting it and i do want a silent system.

I do not own either the MCP600 or MCP650. I have an L30 and Eheim 1250, both are good, quiet pumps just a bit on the large side. I have heard an MCP650 in person and it had a high-pitch hum (at 12V) that would bother me. It was in a well bled system sitting on a sponge and the sound was coming from the pump itself. It wasn't pump vibration causing something else to resonate.

Also, Kosmic helped with my opinion on MCP600s and MCP650s. Do a search on his postings about these pumps. He
