I've been reading procooling's review of the MCW-6002 and it was concluded that the MCW-6000 (3/8") actually performs better than the MCW-6002 (1/2") at flow rates of 1.5GPM and above, so basically the 3/8" version performs better when paired with a powerful pump like the MCP650.

I'm going to be using the MCP650 in my setup, but I'm also going to have a Fedco 2-342, a chipset waterblock (MCW20), and a GPU waterblock (MCW50) as well as the CPU block. I was wondering if all this added to the loop would decrease the waterflow below 1.5GPM, to the point where it would actually be better to go with the MCW6002 instead of the MCW6000?

Everything else is still going to be 1/2". I got 1/2" adapters for both the MCW20 and MCW50. Smart move or no?
