I'm putting together and old water cooling loop for my new AM4 system. I got a new water block and was about to assemble it tonight when I noticed my 11year old Swiftech MCRES has some hairline cracks around the barb ports. Rather than take a chance I've decided to get a new reservoir. I'm also wondering if I should get a new pump. I have the MCP350 and it worked fine when I tested it tonight but it's also about 11 years old with the last 5 years of its life in storage. Is a pump this old still reliable? If I needed a new reservoir and pump I'll probably just get a combined unit to save space. I don't display my system so I don't need anything pretty.
Should I keep the MCP350 and see how it goes? If not, any recommendations on a pump reservoir combo or should I stick with individual parts?
