Following this discussion, I have a few questions.
The idea was to find the most efficent pump to use for the cooling setup, and i can see the the heat created by the pump will make a small difference, but what i fail to see is the connection between these calculations and a real world setup. I run a simple setup using a maze4, 12mm tubing the radiatior from a car and have tried 2 different pumps i the setup since my Hydor L30 died i switched to an Eheim 1048 and there hasn't been any noticable changes to my cpu temp..
What it all comes down to would be to get the lowest system temp, and i besides the little difference the pump created heat would make how are the above mentioned linked to the performance of the system? wouldn't messureing flow using a 10 liter bucket be the only reliable way to surely know the flow in a setup? and wouldn't a test using different pumps i the same system be the only way really to see what differences there are in performance?
