Hello!

In my sig you can see that I already own and use this pump, however I am embarking on the construction of a new system( http://forums.procooling.com/vbb/sho...&threadid=5543 ), and am wondering if the added restrictions are going to be too much for it.

This is what I will be using:

CPU Waterblock: White Water Rapids (.5")
GPU Waterblock: DangerDen Newest generation of GPU blocks on a GF4 4600 (.5")
NB Waterblock: DangerDen Z-Chip (.5")

Heatercores: (2 of these) http://www.heatercore4u.com/2-617.htm (9.875" X 6.125" X 2") cooling size

Pump: I am currently considering the Eheim 1250 (Help me decide)

Reservoir: custom made polycarbonate cube

Tubing: From last waterblock(s) to res to pump (5/8" ID), from pump to radiators to blocks and through blocks (1/2" ID).

Flow:===>reservoir===>pump===>split between both radiators then returning back together after radiators===>CPU block===>GPU Block===>NB Block===>Reservoir

Highest point in system: 12"

Well there it is, do you think the 1250 will be powerful enough to give the CPU block the power it needs to perform well? If not, do you think the 1260 would work, while not adding much heat to the system?

Second question that has been briefly discussed before: If we assume that the flow restriction in the two DangerDen blocks are similiar, wouldn't one get more flow through the whole system if one were to split the flow between the two other blocks after the CPU waterblock?

Thank you for your help in advance,

Brian W
