I will buy that. It really depends on the pump though. Especially if it is submerged or not aswell.
I left my Little Giant 170GPH (similar to a Danner Mag pump) runing inline without the fan on on the rad and the water heated up 20C over ambient. Thats just the pump running and no CPU or any other heat source. Some of that is the friction of the water flow.
My HydroThruster 500 with the pics in the last few posts will add 15C to the water with almost 4 times the flow rate. It adds less heat because of the design.
Anyway enough about pumps in this thread. Not what I started it for.
