MCP-655 ==> First Impressions

[Encore2097]

Im looking into a WC setup how does it compare to the 50Z? I know it put out more heat 15w vs 9w. How do flow rate and head pressure compare?

i would be interested in buying an old 650 let me know, i am on a budget..

the 655 has about the same pressure/head as the 50z, but the 655 has double the flowrate

I am considering a mid-tower case which could fit a BIX, possibly a 2x120mm fan rad, would you recommend the 655 or the 50z? The cases im looking into are the AMS gMONO ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811180013 ) or the LIAN-LI PC-7Bplus ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811112212 )

the 655 all the way


edit: and get the lian-li pc-7b plus

 

[xCRF450]

yeah i would reccomend the lian li, it is twice as much but a much better case (Sorry for going off topic)

The 50z will give you better overall performance because it dumps less heat into the loop. Based on calculations with a Cascade, HE120.2 (or BIX II), and medium-performance fans, the 50z beats both the 650 and 655 in overall performance. However, the 655 will give you a higher flowrate.

nice job digging up the post...

 

[nikhsub1]

Did somebody say stream?

 

[Jas]

Lol thats awesome.

 

[voigts]

What on earth kind of pump is that firehose from?

 

[Sshadow]

Nikhsub the ultimate pumpdaddy...
Tried to find Iwaki pumps here in sweden, gave up and ordered a MCP655. Increase it later on to 2 or 3.. Love nikhsubs triple pumping.

[Sneaky]

in that pic thats nikhsub1's Iwaki RD-30... such a kickass pump... only downside is that you need a 24v PSU to power it

 

[nikhsub1]

Sneaky is correct, that is the RD-30. Downside? Heh! We have the room for the PSU in our cases Sneaky.

 

[Sshadow]

Your not the only once with room for it..
Easily fit 16 hdds on my case backside + 2 PSU's.. (after a mod) YY-0221 gotta love it.
But your cases are the bigger one YY-0428? if memory serves right, and premodded before usage.

RD-30....*drool*

I will definately be buying these quite soon, unless I feel like buying an RD-30 to own all.

Nikh, what's the price on an RD-30, if I can find one?

the 655 is equal to the 350 in terms of noise, but the 655 has about twice the flowrate of the 350, and another plus to the 655 is the fact that it has native 1/2" barbs

If you really wanted to, I know Laing makes that same volute with native 3/4" barbs! Heck I have prolly thrown 100 of them away. I think I may be saving them now!

Usually ~$250. Usually they have to be bought in bulk, or from someone that has a few left over from a bulk order. They're going to run you at least $200, maybe $180 if you're really lucky. There were a few people over at ProCooling trying to get enough people for one person to make a bulk order - they ended up going to cost ~$225 a person.
