Some quick real world experience relating back to the original topic.

I had a discussion with someone over at bit-tech about using dual pumps, whether to go for serial/parallel and so on.

Here is the thread

He recently posted his results, and although he was having major issues with his motherboard (I think it didn't support his cpu) and having no air flow around the socket messing up the temp diode on the board, there was something interesting.

I had convinced him to buy another Via Aqua 1300 to go with the one he already had, instead of ditching it and buying an eheim 1250.

Having set it up, he ran the system with one pump, then after switching the other one on, his measured cpu temps dropped by 10 degrees.

Now granted he was having issues with his board, but that is still pretty convincing, and I think that still falls into the range of flow rates I was discussing.
