Swiftech announces the
MCP35X, this is a standalone edition of the pump used in the company's recently introduced H20-X20 Edge liquid cooling kit. The pump will be available in retail stores for $109.95 and it can host an optional built-in reservoir that is available separately for $29.95.
The MCP35X™ pump is a substantial evolution from the long established MCP355 series. It differentiates itself from its sibling by two primary features:
* The pump housing:
o has been redesigned to provide considerably enhanced hydraulic performance;
o is compatible with multiple tubing options thanks to the adoption of the G1/4 port standard;
o can host an optional "built-in" reservoir;
o is also sold separately, and remains compatible with all MCP3XX series pumps
* The motor:
o is now PWM compatible, allowing variable speed control thru the motherboard from 1300 to 4500 rpm.
Summary of features and benefits
* Small Footprint: 2.4" x 2.4" x 1.36";
* 50,000 hours MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) ;
* 12 Volts DC convenience: plugs into the computer power supply
* Variable speed control via PWM thru the motherboard, from 1300 rpm for completely silent operation, to 4500 rpm for ultra high flow performance;
* Superior head pressure and flow rate (in the useable range) to any pump in its footprint: the MCP35X™ is particularly well adapted to support multiple devices in the same loop, such as multiple radiators, and/or waterblocks;
* G1/4" ports standard for compatibility with a large assorment of fittings;
* No maintenance when used with distilled water, and anti-fungal additives (our HydrX™ additive is recommended);
* Quick installation with adhesive neoprene pad, or permanent installation with supplied hardware;
* Optional "built-in" reservoir;
* 2 year warranty
