Is This Pump too good for me ?
1. Eheim 1048 Pump - 158GPH @ $63.99
2. Eheim 1250 Pump - 317GPH @ $75.00 I know there is only a small difference in price, so some would think get the better one. But i've heard that there is such a thing as too higher flow rate. Will a 1048 be enough as im very limited for space ? My setup is drawn below, and will be all 3/8\", swiftech + black ice. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/i.royce/setup.jpg CHEERS BOYCEE |
does anyone reply in these forums ???

The 1250 is not too much flow, on the other hand with 3/8" you won't get much better flow than a 1048. The 1048 will hte fine.

with all the time u spent on that fancy 3d thingy u could have built the watercooling system... bought both pumps and returned the one u dont like..
but seriously.. i would go with the 1250... remember u can always throttle it down with a valve if u want. |

The digram is an extract from one of my whole case. its too scale (approx) so i can work out what will fit. :D also its easier to explain the plumbing design, as its going into a G4 tower case with a 1.4 T-bird in it. Those blue bits rotate http://homepage.ntlworld.com/i.royce/1.jpg http://homepage.ntlworld.com/i.royce/2.jpg http://homepage.ntlworld.com/i.royce/3.jpg |
I'd get the bigger pump, cause you can always restrict the flow of a more powerful pump if you want, but it is a bit harder to get a less powerful pump to produce more power

hmm
a year ago eheim 1046 with 300 l/h was standard it is enough for your cooling system 1048 600 l/h imho is the best pump today for your system 1250 1200 l/h the 1250 is only needed for users who have this radi ;) the 1250 has a very big connection Ø17mm and Ø13mm http://www.cooling-solutions.de/foru...bmbi/mora5.jpg |
now thats a damned nice rad! all copper too.
you'd also need a powerful pump for a system with a lot of blocks, like dual cpu's, gpu, nb, hdd's |
