The model I was looking at had 1-7 GPM ratio. Should be perfect.


Parts:

Heatercore: Fedco # 2-354 (Two Pass radiator with some big dimensions : fin area 12.125*7.875 = approx. 95 sqr" * 2" depth = approx 190 in^3)

Pump: Iwaki 15RT - Japanese version

CPU: White Water Poly Top - 1/2" Barbs

GPU: Dangerden New GPU block - 1/2" Barbs

NB: Dangerden Z block - 1/2" Barbs

Flowmeter: May put the above mentioned flow meter, comes with 3/4" Brass Sweat connector. Yeah bust out the torch....

Tubing: 1/2" and 5/8" ID. Not sure of make or type. Currently using Silicon, and am real happy save the clarity.

Reservoir: Square with 1/2" female NPT threads. 2 X 1/2" Nipples (Return), 1 X 5/8" Nipples(Out to pump)

Flow Path

Reservoir>>5/8" ID Tubing>>Pump >>5/8" ID Tubing>>Flow Meter>>5/8" ID Tubing>>Heater Core>>1/2" ID Tubing>>White Water>>Split Flow>>a,b

a) White Water>>1/2" ID Tubing>>GPU>>1/2" ID Tubing>>Reservoir.

b) White Water>>1/2" ID Tubing>>NB>>1/2" ID Tubing>>Reservoir.

What do you think? Is it worth knowing flow rate, if your head loss is increased? It would be a "cool" item to have in the case.
