Hi guys, I've just got a quick question on water cooling.

I currently have the Swiftech H20-120 Premium water cooling kit. It's been running excellent from day one. But due to my need for always upgrading, that's what I was about to do. haha. Anyways, I wanted to upgrade the radiator from the current single 120 radiator to a triple 120 radiator but was not sure if the current pump (MCP350) would be able to handle it. Will this pump be sufficient or should I upgrade the pump? TIA
 
I can't honestly say for sure if the MCP350 would have any problems with a triple rad like the MCR320, but I don't think it would. (either custom top or stock)

The reason I say that is I have 2x MCP350's (stock tops) both pushing water through MCR220 rads (3/8th tube). They're both almost silent (objective according to the listener :rolleyes: ) and efficient IMO.I use them for 2x E6600's (OC'ed 2.8 GHz) folding 24/7, the boxen run about 45c (ambient temp about 21c) according to Coretemp, SpeedFan and RealTemp (I calibrated RT like the author said and I allowed a 15c discrepancy on the others :p).

IMO the MCP350 is virtually silent and has a small "foot print" for the amount of head it has. (10 ft + head, 9w motor and a really small body)

Just my own opinions :)
