Well according to the following two charts, the pressure drop for 10' of 1/2" ID tuging is approx. 4'.
Tubing Graph
So that would jive with what I tested according to the PQ curve for my pump. That would estimate approx 2' of pressure drop for the rad. Does that seem right? Obviously If i can reduce my tubing lengths, It will serve to help flow quite a bit. I will have 5/8" Tubing for a large part of my case setup. This should help a bit as well.
Nik, you have this pump in a closed case. Have you noticed the case warming up at all from the pump? Does it vibrate any noise into the case?
Thanks again,
BrianW
