Any ideas from the community on how to PROPERLY control the speed output on my MCP655? I really dont want to have to take my pump back and get the speed control version right now if I can make it work with the non speed controlled model first.

The only reason I want to slow it down is when I go out of town for work and would like to keep my system on in low power mode for remote login and I would like it not consume so much energy from the cooling system aspect. Other than that when im at home it will be ran wide open 100% power.

Im not sure if I can just reduce the voltage using a molex connector conversion to +7v or +5v instead of 12v.

Thanks!
 
Nevermind I don't Care about this anymore, I measured the pump at wide open tonight and it's only pulling about 19 watts. And it's super freaking quiet. I'm just gonna run it 24-7 full power. I never turn my system off unless I'm dusting it out.
 
The non adjustable version is at about setting 3.5-4 compared to the variable speed pump which goes to 5. I think that the non adjustable one's flow is just fine, while not being quite as loud.
 
Yeah the loops built and fully running with no leaks. I just have it out of the case. I designed it so I can remove the whole loop fully filled in one piece fir maintenance.

I have to say the pump is quieter than the 120mm scythe ultra laze that is on the two fan rad.
