after half a year of glorious watercooling i was thinking of doing some upgrading. my system was dd maze2, hayden rad, eheim 1048. to increase cooling capability i added a carheatercore, and a custom feed and bleed, all 3/8 tubing. the carheatercore i placed on top of my fulltower case at approx 60cm above pump, so the max height is not reached. after switching on the system my eheim rattled like it hadn't rattled be4. my thought was that my pump was dying on me. after browsing the forum here, i saw a post that said to let the eheim run from a kitchen sink with nothing attached. that made the pump run silent again. i removed one rad from the system and the pump was silent again, voila. what puzzles me is on the new vid from toms hardware they use a smaller eheim and add loads of stuff that i didn't even connect (gpu, chipset, hdd coolers). my guess is that i will need an eheim 1250.
