I wanted to assemble it in the case to get the correct length of hose between the components...

Okay, time to fill a one litre bucket, pump located in a bathub, without reservoir:
Code:
Pump alone: 9Sec
Pump + Rad: 12Sec
Pump + Rad + CPU: 24Sec
Pump + Rad + GFX: 35Sec
Pump + Rad + Chip: 37Sec
Everything: 60Sec
When all block are connected the pump rattles/makes annoying noises, if it only runs the rad and one block alone it is fine, however two or three blocks in series is a no-go...
I tried with
this pump too, it is by itself a very noisy pump, it has a flowrate that is leaps above that of the Eheim, it still took that pump 60 seconds to pump through all waterblocks and the rad... I guess it's flowrate is high but what I need is a pump that can push water with high pressure, what is it called, how many meters above the pump the pump can push the water...?

I guess with 1/3 of that I'm a bit low

My funny fittings on the GFX card did suprisingly little difference... And yes; they are industrial...

Inside hose: 10mm Outside: 15mm
Thread on GPU block: 1/4"
Would appreciate it very much....
TerraMex; I think you are pretty much spot on
I guess I need a much stronger pump for my setup, can you give me any recommendations?
It would be cool if it would fit inside the AquaComputer fmj housing (the magnetic field from the Eheim pump made my CRT monitors screen move/shake...)
But criteria no1 for the pump is that it must be totally silent... I am going watercooling because I want to overclock but still be able to have a very quiet computer...
