Not sure if anyone wants this data i logged today.

Test: GPM of pump with various components in the loop.

Methodolgy: Once pump primed, pump from one 5 gallon bucket into another 5 gallon bucket until second 5 gallon bucket is filled. Do test three times for each setup.

Pump: Iwaki MD-15RT - Japanese motor
Tubing: 10' 1/2 ID Tubing
Radiator: 2 Pass Core(7 tubes and 8 Tubes) (12.125"X7.875")
Waterblock: Some old Dtek bllock with 1/2" Barbs

Setup 1: 10' Tubing Only

Test1: 76sec, Test2: 74sec, Test3: 77sec ; Avg: 75.66; AVG GPM: 3.96

Setup 2: Radiator and 10' Tubing

Test1: 85sec, Test2: 86sec, Test3: 86sec ; Avg: 85.66; AVG GPM: 3.50

Setup 3: Waterblock, Radiator and 10' Tubing

Test1: 117sec, Test2: 116sec, Test3: 120sec ; Avg: 117.66; AVG GPM: 2.55

Pump observations: Very low vibration, near silent, and casing gets quite hot(read: make sure you ventilate well), yet adds little heat to water loop.
