XSPCX4 Replacement Pump

I did need to purchase this pump to replace my other pump that went bad. I purchased this while I waited for an RMA for the original pump, which I ended up getting replaced. So I have an extra x4 pump now, but it is nice to have a backup. My first pump went bad, might have just been a lemon, after about a month. The new pump has been going strong for about 3 months. I really like XSPC products so I am hopeful that the replacement pump holds up for a few years.Right now I would have to say that the pump works perfectly, noise it not noticeable, and the flow is strong enough to keep my GPU and CPU at low levels, 30-35 degrees, under a medium to heavy load. You do need to look out for those lemons though, with anything. Are D5 pumps better? They are adjustable and seem to be the industry standard, but this pump fulfills my needs for now.

I've gone through 2 of these pumps; the first was DOA, the second lasted a little over 6 months. Save yourself some trouble and just get a D5 from EK. The D5 in my main computer has been going solid for over 2 years without an issue.
