Swiftech's New Dual Pump MCP35X2
- Thread starter facetime
- Start date
`do they both rotate in the same way ? looking at the model top it looks like one supercharges the other as in one feeds the second in series and the serial numbers both start with LH that would suggest they are both rotating in the same direction with the pump top directing the flow from left pump to right pump how ever not gauranteed thats the case. a pump with two impellors running of one motor wouldnt be that hard to sort see link above if vibration was an issue
Am pretty sure there was a good write up on skinnees labs.
*edit - My mistake its elsewhere.
Have you actually tried searching..? If you do I am sure you can find what you are looking for.

I have one of these and another one on order. I will be using 1 in each loop.
The great thing about MCP35x2 is that you have a lot of flexibility and control and with the right monitoring tools like the aquaero 5 xt have a lot of data to play with to optimize cooling.
I currently leave it on 30% power by default which gives a flow rate of 0.8 - 1gpm on my GPU SLI loop which is completely silent and both pumps run cool.
When the cards are stressed, the pump increases to 40% power which increases the flow to 1.4 gpm and is still very much silent and the pumps remain cool.
using one pump I believe, you would have to run it on 45% idle and 60+% stressed to achieve the same results, which would require a fan and heat sink to keep the pump cool, and of course would run a lot louder.
These pumps are also great because they take little space unlike the MCP655 + res.
My advice would be, If you like complete control over your loop get this. If you want a set it and forget it type config, the MCP 655 is for you.
