Silent, Powerful Water Pump

[Vitruvius]

HardForum rocks.

I am looking for a pump that is silent for a new case mod I'm doing. Any ideas? It should be reasonably powerful, enough to get through a DD RBX 3 Barb and perhaps a HDD cooler and GPU cooler.

My current ideas are the following.

┌--> Res --> Radiator --> Pump -->┐
|--------------------------------------------------|
&#9492;--<-- HDD <-- GPU <-- CPU --<-- &#9496;


Any suggestions regarding this - esp. the pump and radiator would be appreciated - THX!

If you want power and relatively silent 34 dBa get Swiftech MCP655 (317GPH) 1/2 barbs

If you want totally silent and compact get Swiftech MCP350 (92.4GPH) can be modded to get 150 GPH. operates at 24-26dBa and has 3/8 barbs

I only recommend this brand because its a great quality pump with a 2 yr warranty and 5 yr life or 50,000 hours

forgot to ask what size radiator are you using?

I wouldn't do that hard drive. It just adds restriction, more tubing length, more heat and more hassle...

All right - I think I'm going to get the

swiftech mcp350 because of the silence (24-26 dBA).

Thanks for all the help!

You're thinking of the old MCP650 if you're quoting 34dBA.

The newer MCP655 would only be about 1dBA louder than the MCP350.

the mcp655 definitely seems like a winner, the adjustable speed dial is a big plus in my book. You can tune down the flow for absolute silence, and crank it up when you want to do a little overclocking and see just what your machine's got in the tank.
