Anyway, as an approximation, I get 2.5 LPM flow rate.
Fans @ 5v
Water temp at exit of 2nd rad: 8.87 dCaa (degrees Celsius above ambient)
CPU temp: 22.47 dCaa
GPU temp excluding TIM: 9.4 dCaa
Fans @ 7v
Water temp at exit of 2nd rad: 5.93 dCaa (degrees Celsius above ambient)
CPU temp: 19.52 dCaa
GPU temp excluding TIM: 6.44 dCaa
Fans @ 12v
Water temp at exit of 2nd rad: 3.92 dCaa (degrees Celsius above ambient)
CPU temp: 17.52 dCaa
GPU temp excluding TIM: 4.43 dCaa
Leaving the fans at 7v, and changing the pump to a MCP655 @ 5, you'd only get a half degree or less improvement.
When you assemble, please do the bucket fill flow test and let me know how close I am with my approximations

Thanks!
Not to sound too n00bish (long-time hardware geek, 1st time WC geek), but what is/ how can I do the "bucket fill flow test", and what will it tell you?
Thank you especially for the MCP655 comparison, I was considering it, but from what I gather it'll be too loud for my purposes.
Two questions:
1. The x1900xt card consumes 125w+ at load, are you sure the GPU gives off only 50w?
2. My CPU, according to an admittedly inaccurate estimation program, consumes ~163w at load (dual-core, 1.5v)
Thanks again, 'git, that's exactly what I was looking for. I'll be sure to help your database any way I can.
