The most reliable pumps are usually the mag drive pond/fountain pumps. They can run continuously for years on end and are relatively quiet. Most can be submerged or ran inline. They are almost always cheaper than 12v pumps with the same capacity. Mag drive pumps never contain brushes, so you dont have to worry about that part wearing out and usually have only one moving part. They may not create the flow or pressure of a Iwaki pump, but generally they are very quiet.

I would recommend the mag 3 for any watercooling system. It is quiet, powerful, rugged, and above all: cheap.
