I do appreciate that the RD-05H is not the pedal-to-the-metal solution though that is obviously being sought after in this thread, but I still think it's something that should be considered.

The RD-05H's specs look nice but I wouldn't say it's very suitefull for watercooling, not even the best choice in that situation.
The main reason is simply that Panworld sells similar sized pumps which also have a pressure head of 9mH20 but have a peak flow rate of 8LPM.
What slightly concerns me is that while Iwaki's other RD pumps are rated continuous, the RD-05H is rated intermittent.
Now I know most of you guys don't run your pumps continuous, but it does not bode well IMO.
