    Intro:

    Today I will be reviewing the Swiftech MCP655-B 1/2in. Water Pump which I purchased from Xoxide.com. Xoxide has been in the computer modding scene for a long time now and recently transferred to new ownership. Previously I had been amazed at the fast shipping from Xoxide and was a tad bit disappointed when it took them 3 days to send me my tracking number. However, when I checked the tracking number, it showed that the same great next day shipping still occurs. I received my product 10 days after purchase as I used the cheap shipping...more.

    Just noticed a 3-pin fan connector and the molex plug. I haven't made the jump to watercooling so this may be a really newb question but does that mean the pump's speed is controlled via the mobo?
    Thanks for an well detailed review.

    It only has the sensing wire for hooking up to the CPU header. It allows motherboards that HAVE to have a fan running (with CPU safety if there isn't) to run. It also allows you to monitor the speed of the pump, however you can not control it. I know that Swiftech used to have a pump whose speed was controlable, but I'm not sure of the model.

    I hope this helps,
