Alphacool DC-LT Pump

Does anyone here have any information/feedback on this pump. OCUK had them in stock for a while but it appears they are out of stock at the moment.

I'm looking to set up a simple loop, possibly cpu only for a small home server/rendering build.

I really like the combined size of this pump, top and reservoir. It's cheap too!

From what I've already read it's quite noisy at max speed. I was thinking I'd buy a cheap fan controller to quieten it down a bit.

I've had a look all over for details but would this little pump be reliable enough to run for extended periods of time, say 24/7? I can't find MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) details. I have sent Alphacool an email but I haven't heard back from them yet. Would be useful to know how long I can expect one of these to last.

Lauren uses one in her latest build, might be worth asking her?

10 seconds in and creasing up already!

EDIT: I remember her actually after someone on here posted a thread about being turned on by what sounds like her tongue 'clicking'.

Thanks for linking the video. First time I've come across Lauren..

I'll maybe send her a message over Youtube then and see if she has anything to share

Ok.. sent her a message. If I hear anything back from her I'll post the info here. In the meantime, if anyone else has used one of these or has any input - would be great to read anything you have to share.
