Edit: this thread is necrosis. Please scroll to the bottom to the first post with images for the actual question!
My loop is a Swiftech MCR140-X Drive, (equipped with an MCP30 pump), a Swiftech MCR240-QP radiator, an XSPC Raystorm CPU block, and an Alphacool NexXxos GPX GPU block.
I like the loop. The thing nagging me is the pump. I wonder if it's underpowered. I'm to understand that it's basically just an MCP35x pump, detuned to run at a 3,000rpm max instead of a 4,500rpm max. I'm told by Swiftech that I could swap it if I desired, it's the same form factor.
My question is, am I missing much in that last 1500rpm? I've got a little cash to spend, and I'm trying to decide between this pump upgrade, a set of Corsair's mag-bearing fans, or an SSHD.
Cheers!
