Some time ago I purchased an H20-320 edge from swiftech that has an integrated res and MCP35x pump. My flow rates weren't as great as I'd like given that my loop has grown quite a bit, and if the pump was ramped up above 30-40% the noise level was too high for my liking.
Long story short, I added a second MCP35x to my loop and the new pump is WHISPER quiet. Even at 100% I can't hear it over my Gentle Typhoons. So what gives? Why is the original MCP35x so much louder? I'd wager the original one is subjectively louder by a factor of 10.
