Water Pumps: Quiet ones?

[kY]

After attaching Fan Mate 2 controllers to my dual 80mm intake fans, I've discovered that my next loudest component is the water pump... but no way to quiet that part w/o replacing it.

Anyone have experience with reliable pumps that are also quiet?

 

[mindwreck]

which pump do you have? mcp655? mcp650? mcp350?

MCP600 is fairly quiet but I can hear it over my 3 120mm fans@5V. Not too bad though.

noisest->quietest its

mcp655(danger den d5) > mcp650(D4) -> mcp350(DDC)

mcp655->mcp650->mcp350 also means you're not able to push as many gallons per minute, eh? Is GPM the trade-off for noise considerations?

Yes it is a slight trade off.

also i missed up on the pump order i mistaked the mcp650 for another pump. iconfused the mcp650 with the mcp600
new order is
mcp650 (d4) > mcp655 (D5)>aquaXtreme 50z (mcp600) > mcp350(DDC) -noise
mcp655 >mcp650 > mcp600 > aquaxtreme 50z > mcp350 - flow
