My system I have put together is very restricted in available space (Shuttle SFF), so was forced to pick a small pump. I chose the Hydor L20 running inline, and now I am finding I get very poor temperatures, no better than the stock air cooled heat pipe HSU.

After doing some testing out of the system with no CPU load, I find the pump is putting a lot of heat into the water, it is rising at least 10C above ambient in a very short time.

So looking for a small pump that contributes very little heat, the CA-Sytems/DTEK looks interesting has anyone tried it yet?
