okay.. the last time around i got a shitty pump with shitty head so i junked it out of the window.

then, i got a pump that is too big and too powerful so it went to my friend who's going to use it for a dual bong system (which will never be complete due to his laziness, dont tell him that)

so now.. i'm gonna pickup a new board and cpu, and i want to run my watercooling system again.. i got all the stuff.. EXCEPT a pump..hopefully there is a soul here that uses the same setup for me

pump choices : Eheim 1250 or Eheim 1048

Waterblock : DD Maze 3 Block
Radiator : Black ICE Pro Evo
1/2" all round.

Casing, most probably Lian Li mid tower - in case you need to calculate head.

So, which pump is suitable for me, considering my setup is so common and generic i hope you pros here have some answer for me.

i roughly figured out that if the flow is higher, means less time in the rad, thus higher water temps? and if flow is low, means more time in rad, lower water temps but the water moving away from the block is slow too?

and another question..where should i put the pump? bottom of the case? i heard a friend say the pump should be at the lowest point of the loop or something
