The pump to the secondary loop is the a 250 GPH pump.

I'm going to use the new pump(s) i purchase on the main loop.

I just want to know what the difference would be between 2 - 250GPH pumps, and 1 - 500GPH pump on the main loop.

the way i'll set it up the main loop is:

With ONE 500GPH pump:

pump -> heatercore -> cpu -> reservoir

With TWO 250GPH pumps:

pump -> heatercore -> cpu -> pump -> reservoir

I guess my main motivation for having the 2 smaller pumps is the lower noise level, versus the 1 larger pump.

Thanks for the help
