I picked up the new Swiftech pump today and the first thing that stood out, (beside how sweet it looks) is it's small size. Here's some comparison shots:

This pump really moves allot of water for being so small. It's a perfect balance between head, flow and heat. The only thing is the 4 pin connector isn't designed for an external design. This can be overcome by lengthening it with an extender or soldering a longer tail onto it. As for temps I was at 27C using Nanotherm PCM+. This time I went with Shin Etsu, which is at 28/29C. Due to the longer cure time of my current TIM it's safe to say there was a decrease in temps. The temps are gathered by Asus Probe and a thermal sensor on my Enermax A5 affixed to the chip with thermal tape beside the die. Not 100% but all I have to go on. Regardless it's a great pump.:D
