Swiftech MCP655

[smith87e]

have a couple questions here first is how long should i run my system for leak test? i have a spare power supply so i just use that one or will it make a difference to the seals if the system is runing a stress test? also i have the 655 its quite on all settings up to 5 when it gets to five is has a tinny/rattling sound and its not from the virations sounds like a noise if the bearing was wobbling.. it doesnt effect flow but its annoying. Right now i have my VRAM, CPU and GPU on the loop is there any benifits to running the pump on 4 or 3?

Everyone says different things about how long you should leak test for, see what some others post and find what you're comfortable with. When you run the pump faster it will increase flow, which might help reduce temps, but it's not really necessary to run it max. Others might have the same issue with the pump, but check it out in case it's damaged, because it might get worse.

The answer I have run in to most often is about a day.. I think I did mine for 12 hours but I dont remember excactly.. :)

About the speed of the pump: I have a 360mm rad, a thick 240mm rad, cpu block and gpu block, and I run it at 1.. I havent tried running it faster, but I doubt it would be more than a couple of degrees in difference from 1 to 3 maybe 4. But again, I dont know for sure.

General recommendations for Leak test is 24 hours. This gives ample time for things to settle in and any leaks to show. As for speed, you may see between a 2-3 degree dif between 1 and 5. I run mine on 3 - but I have a 360 rad, a 240 rad and 3 blocks, so I need a bit more flow...
