To be honest, I don't know how much this will restrict flow. I have decided to just have faith that the MCP600 will be enough pump for the job. I wanted to go with an Eheim 1048--reliability and near silence; having a quiet rig is a high priority. In the end, I didn't think it would be enough. Cathar mentioned (somewhere) that the 600 was a fine pump and I've read a ton of reviews and hundreds of posts about it. Now that it's been in production for a little while I feel alright giving it a shot. The other pump on my short list was a 1250, but it's just so large and to be honest and just a bit shallow--the blue MCP600 matches the radiators (which I feel a bit gimpy about using considering how heatercores are better choices) it has a higher pressure head, too.
I think it'll be okay. This is my first shot at watercooling and if I get it wrong the first time, well, I'm not going to shy away from trying to fix it.
I've been reading message boards for months doing research. Months! And I still learn new things almost every day. I can't wait to actually get it finished, long way to go though. I have a tiny project log up (
here), but it's just pictures, no text.
