Has there been much thought put into higher pressure water cooling systems? :shrug:

It seems that every body is set on centrifugal pumps...

I am looking into positive displacement pumps such as vane pumps, gerotors, and gear pumps. 15-20 PSI would do wonders to increase water flow through most water blocks. I realize that there is a limit to the pressure a heater core can withstand -but they regularly run at 10-15 PSI. In my industry, when I need more flow, I just ease up the pressure.
