Hello. I'm new here. I joined so I could discuss some water cooling with people who actually know from experience. What better place than ProCooling forums. I have started a thread over at another forum HERE as a worklog. I purchased a 1986 Chevy Caprice heatercore yesterday and now I am trying to decide which pump I want to go with. I have a ton of photos and stuff over at that forum if you want to see what I am working with so far. I am interested in a VIA Aqua 2600. They have a rated flow rate of around 740 GPH with max head at 6.5 feet. I am wondering if this would be too powerful for my set up or would it be great? I am a total n00b here so I have no real experience with this. I see alot of people using 340 GPH pumps. I am going to be cooling my CPU, GPU and Northbridge. I will most likely make a custom res or use a RC airplane gastank for a res. I am going with 1/2inch ID tubing. I would like to hear peoples comments and suggestions before I go any further. I will continue to read through the forums for information, I have already learned alot from trolling around here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
