The threading is a bit tight at first, but it works perfectly in my experience.

Get the MCP655 Vario, not the MCP655B. The MCP655-B is literally just the vario permanently fixed to setting 4, meaning it can't even achieve it's max setting. (Which is 5)Originally Posted by Solick
Sweet, thanks for the help. I was looking at this pump but I really didn't want to spend the money on the mod top to make it work for compression fittings
As to the pump itself, it's just a rebranded D5 pump.

Slightly lower price for same thing here. D5 Vario is $89.95 or without speed control (i.e. MCP-655B) $79.95.Originally Posted by Solick
Does anybody know or use this pump?

Basically I'm just wondering about anybody's experience with it and how well the threads with the seal on the compression fittings. I want to get this pump for my build but didn't want the barb fittings.

That's what I've been reading, is there really much of a difference in performance between a D5 and a 'swiftech' D5?

I've been looking at a few of them, but they're mostly between $40-$60 (At least on Frozencpu maybe cheaper somewhere else) and this would really kill two birds with one stone and save me some money I can spend elsewhere on the build.Originally Posted by superericla
They do have just the threaded pump top available at a very low price that will work with all D5 models. I'm using one on a D5 strong right now with no issues.

Awesome! Definitely the spot to get it from then, appreciate that Monte!Originally Posted by BMSliger

Only $6.95 here. I use PPCs more than anyone else. Only had one or two minor problems over the last 5 years.Originally Posted by Solick

it doesn't list the VPP655 pump, but I know for a fact it's just a Laining D5 with a custom speed control mounted to the PCB where the potentiometer normally is soldered too. In fact, there have been people who buy the PCB for the digital speed control from alphacool, and mod their other D5 pumps to use it. After all, it's just soldering 4 wires into place.
It's just a rebranded D5, most all D5s are more or less identical. Here's a chart of the OEM parts.Originally Posted by Solick

Either way, they're all just rebranded Laining D5s.
I stand correctedOriginally Posted by Jakusonfire
The Alphacool pumps are just ordinary D5 Varios
It is the Aquacomputer D5 USB that is a modified D5 Vario
Either way, they're all just rebranded Laining D5s.
