Can you give me a link to an online vendor that has the fitting that you used for this mod? I want to do the same mod but I can't seem to find an online vendor that ships to Canada that has that same fitting/barb. Also preferable they would also be able to ship 3/8" and 1/2" tubing of clearflex 60

You can still use all 1/2" tubing, just cut a piece of 3/8" by 1/2" tubing to fit over the outlet and slide your 1/2" tubing over that and clamp it. I have all 12/" tubing in my rig after doing this mod. I have some pictures of the old and new case in this thread.

How did you disassemble the pump for the modification though?

Hello,
Congrats on the awesome mod.
I'm interested into getting this pump and mod it so having the best worlds of both quietness and good performance is possible; where I'm currently debating between this MCP350 or the MCP655 (aka. D5)

Would you kindly do some intensive stress (ex. folding@home at 100%) on the CPU to test the load temperature?
I'm very interested at the difference at load temperature because to me, this is what might affect overclocking results.

the temp drop isn't going to be enough for a better OC, a couple of C drop could be expected

the only way youll see 2 C is if flow rate is the weak point in your system, most of us would not see 2C by adding another pump.

every system is different and this mod only helps a few, i did it and it fits my rig better but very little in temp help.
