Eheim 1048 or 1250
 
Simple question...


Normally, or atleast a few days ago I would have said 1250 in a second. But after reading about a thousand posts and articles.. I'm not so sure


is the Eheim 1048 sufficient for cooling a cpu. is the Eheim 1250's 320GPH too much flow?

Only thing I am worried about is using a little gas tank RES with the 1250..

The answer: it depends what you're cooling, and what other parts you're using.

well I have a Maze3 + BI Extreme + Eheim 1250 + Gastank RES

Now I still have my receipt for the Eheim so it would be no problem to exchange it for the 1048 if need be.

(A pic would be nice!)

That'll work just fine. If you suspect that you might get better performance from a lower flow rate, then just try clamping your tube (a little bit, not a lot) to limit the flow, and see what happens (1-2 hours later).

Let us know!

Hey Ben, you suggest clamping the tube if you want to lower the flow rate a bit. Any suggestions as to where or doesn't it matter?

It really doesn't matter. If you want to be picky, try to avoid doing that at the pump intake, because the pressure there is already negative.

Sweet, thanks man. I'm going to try that and see if it proves here that the 1250 is overkill =)

I wanted to get something that'll give me enough breathing room if I decide to add a GF4 block
