Bump.

I've got 2 follow up questions, as I'm selecting my pump.

1- If the pump induces heat (and we've shown that it does), WHERE does this heat appear? I mean, if the heat comes from water friction on itself/tube walls, wouldn't the heat appear there? Wouldn't that mean that the heat appears mostly where the restrictions are, i.e. the rad and waterblock?


2-I'm shooting for a high flow rate, but I'm not willing to spend $100 on a pump, so I'm thinking about using two Via 1300 pumps in series. I realize that they probably won't be running in a very efficient range, but I'll get the higher head. Comments?
