Has anyone received a positive response for replacement pump from SysCooling.

My pump gave up too so C1 is sitting powered off.
I am at the moment afraid to buy another C1 even if it comes with cooling kit.

Here is my take on C1  
1. More easily stackable  (+) (as seen in the pictures in this forum)
2. Energy Efficiency (+) but same as S3
3 Shipping cost (-) ( too high USD99)
4. Point of failures (-) ( pump, radiator clogging etc.) more than S3

I somehow still like it more than S3, don't know why.


Something else to consider is what is the power consumed by both the miner and the cooling unit combined? It would be nice for someone to review the true numbers at the wall. No employee reviews please.

Also, unless you live on a concrete slab without any flooring that is susceptible to water damage, it would be advisable to put a large container under in the event of a leak. Damage to flooring and sub flooring can cost a great deal more.

On the miner you get lots of tubing.  I suggest giving little room between pump and miner.   I can speak first hand on this.  I am lucky I had enough room no coolant hit the miners.  It seems when it happens the coolant in water in pump and close in tube exits through pump.    

Once I get a pump back I can use a kill-a-watt.  I am hoping today syscooling sends a pump today, i will report in a day if i got a tracking number.
