Alright I now have almost everything i need for my cooling setup with the exception of a pump. Ive spent countless weeks trying to decide and trying to figure out what those damn graphs mean

your my last resort HardOCP. Basically ive narrowed it down to the four above, heres what theyll be working with

Dual 120mm Heatercore - DangerDen
P4 TDX Block
Maze4 GPU and Northbridge Blocks
T-Line filling
4x Panaflo M1A with 12v/7v switch push/pull
1/2" ID Tubing

System is in my sig

Noise is my secondary concern, extreme performance is first

PS this should probably be in the WaterCooling section but i goofed
 
It certainly has to go to watercooling section. Also, dont forget that search is your friend :D.

Still, the first thing I'd say is to stay away from C-Systems 750 - those prone to rusting and leaking (both mark I and II). Also, Swiftech 650 is the same thing as DangerDen D4. You should also consider DDC pump, seems to be the best bet with 3/8"ID tubing but it's up to you.

For in-depth overview of the most pumps, u might wanna dive into this thread here:
http://forums.procooling.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=10825

That forum also contains a bunch of threads with horror stories about C-Systems 750, might wanna read a few of those too.
 
run away from the c-systems.
Also the mcp-600 is no longer offered by swiftech it is now the AquaXtreme 50Z-DC12. It is a great pump and is the one I voted for
 
Definitly the Liang 12V or AKA the Dangerden D4 12 volt.(same Pump) Besure to use the foam insulator pad on the mounting surface or it will be noisy. Otherwise pretty quiet and rock solid performance.

The Cpt.
 
another vote for the D4, pushes a large volume at very impressive pressure
i find it to be quiet it does tend to rattle the case if not insulted i used Dynomat but i think the mcp's would be similar
the C-systems pumps look ok for small beginer WC setup but i think buying two is useless just get the D4 and it pushes more and cost about the same as two C-systems
 
I can't believe that the DD D4 pump is winning in the polls!!!! That pump is the loudest piece of crap I've ever heard. It may have good head but you won't have any hair left on your head if you use it. You'll pull it all out as you sit at your comp listening to the high pitched whine this pump puts out. I highly suggest the AQX-50Z-DC12. It has similar abilities as the D4 but is whisper quiet. Take a look at it before you make your decision.

The DD4 has no high pitch at all if you fill your system up completely and get rid of all the bubbles. It does make a horrible pitch if you fail to do so though but once the system is full you can't hear the pump at all.
 
I have MCP650 and the damn thing is loud (whines like hell), but if I were to do it again, I would go with MCP600, I have been thinking about DDC, but I will wait a bit more to see some more reviews b4 I go ahead and buy it.

so for now, I will vote for MCP600/AquaXtreme 50Z-DC12
 
what about the 12v bilge pumps? 11 bucks for 550gph 5' head.. some are 1100gph for 30$

ive been tempted to get one and play around with it.. any local boating shop will have them.

something to look into.
 
I do not think 5' of head will do you any good. High flow low head pumps aere not a good choice
