gona be water cooling my system soon, was gona do it a while ago then went with a bigger air cooled but i'm bored and need a project, anyways I have everything I want to get picked out, the only thing i'm not sure on is the water pump, was looking at 2 different ones, same brand just 2 different GPH ratings, i'm not sure exactly which one is better for what i'm doing.

one is 185GPH, the bigger one is 320GPH, aside from being pysicaly bigger is there any other drawbacks to the larger one such as being louder? how much are the advantages as far as better cooling goes with the higher flow rate?

not sure if it's important or not as to how many blocks, etc it will be going thru to detirmine what I need so gona post it now, the system will have 2 CPU water blocks ( Maze3 Copper Water Block) , the radiator (Black Ice Xtreme), and a Reservoir tank and it will be all 1/2" tubing.
