Common Pump Flow vs Pressure vs Heat Comparison

This graph filled me in on pump temps and heat transfer plus the flow for the best 2 blocks, things I've been wanting to know without sifting through several forums and tons of posts. Very nice of Cathar to post that, very helpful. Looking at the graph you can see where the flow rate limits are and also the heat factor for pumps. Adding the 2 together along with some other numbers gave me a better idea where the max amount of work a rad will have to do. The exact math I haven't done, but it was the max amount of flow that will make any sort of differnece on the cpu block that appears to be the limiting factor if pump heat etc... were not an issue.

If I'm reading the graph correctly, it appears tom that anything much above 15lpm with the WW will do very little to add flow, flow looks to increase VERY little from there on up.
