They are the same pump, just rebadged.

lol.. u sure? cuz i know the DD one has a few revisions, with each new one been more slient... where as the swiftech one i have no idea about, only found out about it on a UK retailer site.

They are the same. They're both made by liang (as the D4).

Any stock that you can get from either vendor now, will be the muffled version.

the swiftech one is the same as the DD12v_latest revision (the only one available at the moment AFAIK)

hmm so i might aswelll get the DD12v then... so is the 1250 reall THAT much quiter then the dd12v? is it worth getting it just for that, i don't want one which is tooo loud, have to sleep int he same room as compuer...

The swiftech 600 pump is quiter than the D4 pump.

The DD D4 has a high pitched whine but it is not extremely loud. The 2X120(Evercool Aluminum) fans on the rad running at 12V are louder. If you run your fans at 7V, you will be able to hear the pump.

so whats the difference between mcp600 and mcp650 then?

devilscow22 · Nov 21, 2004

I have not used both pumps but from what i have read the MCP600 is quieter. According to some posts i have read the 650 has a high pitched wine. I have used the MCP600 and find it to be very low noise and great performance.

completely different pumps. the 650 is known for its durabilty, while the mcp 600 is known for its quiteness.

preformance levels are approximately the same.

I have a MCP-650 runnign on the ground in front of my system as I'm doing the leak tests on my cooling loop. At 12v, it makes very little noise. The noise is not high pitched, more like a muffled buzz - almost like a bee but a lower buzz.

I'll be hard pressed to hear it once it's mounted in the case. Also you can reduce the volts which quiets it down even more.

but why do that when you can get a product that is quite to begin with and preforms at the same level. if you drop the voltage on it, you lower the preformance making the mcp600 an even better choice.

The 650 is easier to get and cheaper.

cool.

but its still not that much cheeper, for the same preformance, more noise. but it is supposed to be more reliable.

i can wait for the 350

devilscow22 · Nov 21, 2004
