Revision to "previous review"
I gave this item a low score on my first review due to the tube shattering after about 3 months of use. I''m updating with a higher score due to the manufactures quick, and satisfactory response to my problem. They are sending me a new, updated, tube at no cost! Anyone who has ANY OF THESE TUBES who received BEFORE about 2 weeks ago, NEEDS TO BEWARE!! Luckily my res was low on water and wasn''t above anything that may have been ruined by the leaking water(even though I''m using non-conductive additives).

Mine shattered after a few months of use.
It looks amazing, build quality seemed second to none and all was well until I heard a "gurgling" from my cpu. I open it up to find the tube had shattered after being installed and running 24/7 for about 4 months. I''ve rigged it to work for now, but will have to contact the manufacture to try and get a replacement...sigh!

Why 5 stars on a product that breaks?
The reason I chose the Zalman controller is due to it''s looks. The wattage feature is nice, but my UPS has wattage as well, both read the same wattage, so I would say the Zalman gives a correct reading. I took away two stars for two reasons. 1) The channels cannot handle much current, I have two fans wired in parallel to one channel, the fans are capable of 1600RPM but using two on one channel cuts the max RPM to around 1000. My older CM controller could run 3 fans on one channel without a problem. 2) My 4th channel, as stated in a previous review, also broke and is no longer adjustable. Although it WOULD power 4 fans at 1600RPM. I would probably look harder at the other products before purchasing this unit unless the problems that I''ve stated do not bother you. I just wish the other products didn''t look so over the top! And BTW, the picture shows a silver display, when, in reality, the background is blue with white letters. While it''s not nearly as blue/bright as my CM, the pictures are all obviously B&W and do not represent the working color of the product. When picking for aesthetics, it doesn''t go with my "red" themed case as the pictures suggest(being neutral vs blue).

Amazingly quiet!
I came from an MCP 600 after running it 24/7 for about 8 years. It was quite audible, but performed well enough plus it lasted well beyond the MTBF. After getting my new loop installed and was turning this pump on for the first time, I did not think it was running at all, until I saw the water it was moving. It has a "soft start" so be prepared and do as the other reviewer suggested and have the pump pre-primed(water at the intake) or you will cause damage in a hurry. I cannot hear the pump, even on max settings, over my 5 raptors and 7 fans(low speed). I would have no problems suggesting this pump to anyone!
