Swiftech MCP 355 12v DC Pump
Features
Introducing the MCP355™ pump: despite a remarkably small footprint of 2.4"
square, the MCP355 features an astounding 20ft of head to provide superior flow
rates in today's most complex liquid cooled systems. The MCP355 is also a high
reliability, high pressure industrial pump, featuring a 50,000 hour MTBF (5 year
lifetime). Such reliability is afforded by the unique design of this pump, which
contains only one moving part: the magnetically driven rotor/impeller spins on a
single ceramic bearing, thus extending the life of this pump beyond existing
standards.
The pump is completely plug-and-play, and connects directly to any computer
power-supply through standard 4 pin power connectors. It's compact and powerful
motor make it ideally suited for extreme duty cooling in environments where
space is at a premium.
Summary of features and benefits
- Small Footprint: 2.4" x 2.4" x 1.5"
- 50,000 hours MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) equivalent to 5 years
lifetime.
- Superior 12 Volts DC convenience: plugs into the computer power supply
- The MCP355™ can be used with full confidence in any MP servers, and
high-end workstations.
- Superior real world performance thanks to its high pressure
characteristics (20ft of head). The MCP355™ is particularly well adapted to
the proliferation of daisy-chained liquid cooling devices in a single circuit:
Multiple Processors, Chipset, Graphics, and Hard Drives.
- 3/8" barb fittings.
- No maintenance when used with de-mineralized water, and anti-fungal
additives (Our HydrX™ additive is recommended)
- Quick installation with adhesive neoprene pad, or permanent installation
with screws and grommets.
- RPM sensor plugs to 3 pin motherboard fan connectors and reports impeller
rotational speed
A Note of Caution! the MCP355 generates higher audible noise
than the
MCP350 and
MCP655 pumps. This product is not recommended for users seeking silent
operations.
Retention Mechanism
The MCP355™ can either be installed with the built-in neoprene pad featuring
a peel-off adhesive back, or permanently with thru-bolts as shown below.
