Please let me know how much tubing you have and of what ID, and what radiator you have, and any other components in the loop. I can then use the PQ graphs to predict flow rate, and then the CW graphs to give an approximation of the benefit.

Remember also that the 80/20 rule applies in spades to watercooling. You acheive so much with the least, and then the extras just snip of tiny improvements. Cathar rigged up a tiny AUD$10 pump that managed like 1.5 LPM (or less?) and it was only 4 degrees C worse than his full on pump. Pump was so weak it couldn't prime the system!!!
