ok, it has a built-in overheating protection, at 70c (fixed), so itll get hot, but nothing will die. anyways, there is always MBM
but back to the actual topic of the post. im trying to find alternatives to the standard fountain pump. surely a fishpond fountain isnt the only thing that small pumps are used for, and im trying to find out what they are. i know the dangers of dead pump, i just want alternatives. remember, that is where the origins of hobbyist water cooling came from. people wanted a alternative from a chunk of aluminium or copper strapped to their cpu, and then forcing enough air to run a wind tunnel through it, so they tried somthing new. people have done experimentation with water blocks and radiatiors, but i have only seen 1 alternative of pumping (which was using a car fuel pump, and understandibly, it failed). im trying to 'get the ball rolling', as well as seeing your opinions.
