The pump is the heart of a liquid cooling system; your water blocks, reservoirs, radiators, and tubing will be useless if their heart fails to beat. Swiftech offers us the MCP655, a high-output, high-pressure, heavy-duty industrial water pump that will provide you years of reliable performance.
The MCP655 utilizes a spherical impeller, which contains only one moving part: a magnetically driven spherical impeller that spins on a single ceramic bearing for an extended life cycle and superior pressure capability that will keep your coolant flowing even under the harshest condition.
The pump takes most of the guesswork out of installation by connecting directly to your computer power supply with a standard 4-pin power connector. With a compact design, the pump will fit nicely in any system. Its quiet, powerful motor suits it for heavy duty cooling in mission critical machines. This reasonably priced pump will give you the plug and play, no hassle performance, long life and low cost of ownership, so what are you waiting for? Just give your water cooling system a healthy new “heart” to squeeze every last drop of performance out of your rig.
Pros: Very quiet. I wanted watercooling because I'm fanatical about cutting out noise. This pump is has been going strong for over a year now. Use it to watercool Athlon X2 OC'd to 2.8 and 2 8800GTS video cards. It does make a noticable hum when you turn it up to max level. However, I use 1/2" hoses, so it runs at level 2 all the time. The only time you would need to turn it higher is when you prime your water circuit for the first time. Even with 4 120mm case fans, my box is barely audible. I have to look at the power LED to verify that my comp is on. My laptop is more noisy! Once you experience watercooling, you'll never go back to air.
Cons: Not cheap. I also recommend using metal ring clamps to ensure the hoses are attached as tightly as possible on the openings. The plastic C clamps that came with the pump did not give me much confidence. You can get the ring clamps at Home Depot.
Other Thoughts: I managed to fit the entire watercooling setup with resevoir, pump, radiator, CPU waterblock, and 2 GPU waterblocks inside an Antec 300 case, which is also sold on Newegg. Fantastic case if you're in the market for one.

Some issues, overall an excellent unit
Reviewed By: SiberX on 7/9/2008
Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: Low maintenance Quiet (overall) High flow rate, great head Good price for the performance
Cons: Had one die on me just before warranty ran out; on my second one now and no problems yet High-pitched whine *still* audible (to me)
Other Thoughts: While I am a huge fan of this pump (it kicks the pants off the Hydor L30 it replaced) it does have a couple minor issues. The pump is, so far, maintenance free (my L30 needed periodic re-lubing) and runs great, however I did have one fail on me (controller board died, as far as I could tell). I RMA'ed it and the new one has been fine so far.
For those of you with very acute hearing, note: you may still be able to hear the high-pitched whine from the speed controller circuitry! This was supposed to be fixed in this pump (compared to the MCP-650) but they simply boosted the frequency for the controller (it now runs around 18-19kHz from what I can hear). It's not hugely loud, and with my case closed I don't usually notice it but just a comment that it is still there.
Other than that though, fantastic pump - highly recommended. You can't get performance like this for less than double the price in any other pump.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Easy to mount. Quiet, strong.
Cons: I hear little noises when an air bubble gets in there. You're going to need some stiff tubing on the intake tube because this has serious suction and will collapse lesser-made tubing. I'm using 1/2" ID 3/4" OD tubing.

As good as everyone says

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Like everyone says - this is the best pump for a water-cooled computer. It's strong, relatively compact, quiet, and effective.
Cons: The stickyness of the damping pad could be better, though the pad works well as a damper and base for the pump.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: MOVES water, little noisy but thats expected with a pump this good... and you can just slow it down if it really bothers you (or do other crazy things like build a little sound dampened enclosure in ur pc.... idk who would do that tho, its just crazy...:)) you can feel the sturdy construction when u hold it and run it, and i even dropped it once (while it was still in the box) and its packaged nicely with very good directions and an arrow on the outlet incase you forget or cant figure it out (idk how you wouldnt figure it out, its obvious) simple to open the front if u thing u can stream line the inside path the water takes
Cons: need to put something... sooo.... not silent!
Other Thoughts: its a very good pump, of course it will make noise, not much, but some.... and you cant change the barbs without modding but they are very good, nice and oversized ends so the tubing fits snuggly on... i use 7/16"ID so it was VERY snug but not dangerously snug
