Thermaltake CL-W0132 P500 Pump for Liquid Cooling Systems

Comment:
My computer is on 24-7, and my pump died sometime last night. I was upset until I started reading these other reviews, because it's been running non-stop for almost three years. I've just purchased another, and hope to get half that life out of it.

I got one of these with a Armor case. It failed before I had it a year. Thermaltake sent a replacement, the replacement failed after about 3 months. The second replacement Thermaltake sent me lasted 2 weeks! After that, they would not send me another because it was over a year since I bought the case..... I now have purchased a OCZ Hydro pump which I await parts to install. I am refraining from buying further Thermaltake products because of this experience. Buyer beware!

When it's working, this is a great little pump. It's easy to install and doesn't make much in the way of sound. I've gone through a few of these now. I keep my computer on 24/7 and find that these pumps, under those conditions, last for about 6 months before giving up. Thankfully they're relatively easy to swap out. I would've expected better longevity but it does perform well while it lasts.

Not bad at all. I've been using one for about 6 months now. Seems to work great. reasonably quiet and solid uni-body construction. Includes plenty of fittings for different tube sizes. At 1 radiator it has good flow. I upped the stakes to 3 radiators and the flow reduced to a trickle, but still managed to flow. 3 radiators is a lot of resistance. Not to shabby thermaltake. I just bought another for a different system. Thanks Tiger for prompt delivery.
