denny what will concepts carry as a replacement then?

I love the performance vs power draw of my pump and would replace it with something more reliable if it retained performance and low power draw.

That is the main reason I put fans on all my power supplies to keep them cool. They run around 50*c without cooling but mine are running at 28*c with the fans on them.
