Swiftech MCP655™ 12 VDC Pump
Preamble
As the computer industry continues to accelerates its pace towards
implementing liquid cooling solutions, pumps have become a pivotal concern for
the adoption of such systems in mission critical machines. Low or no
maintenance, similar to that afforded by fans, and extended reliability are
prerequisites for the successful transition from air to liquid cooling systems.
Features
Introducing the MCP655™ pump: 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 spherical 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 design, quiet
and powerful motor make it ideally suited for heavy duty cooling in environments
where space is at a premium.
Summary of benefits
- 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 MCP655™ can be used with full confidence in any MP servers, and
high-end workstations.
- Superior real world performance versus any aquarium pump we have tested to
this date.
- The high pressure capability of the MCP655™ is particularly well adapted
to the proliferation of daisy-chained liquid cooling devices in a single
circuit: Multiple Processors, Chipset, Graphics, and Hard Drives.
- Compact Design.
- Quiet Operation thanks to brushless motor.
- ½" 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 thru-bolts.
