Most here will tell you any of the Laing based pumps would be fine. Forget the C-Systems... they are like the plague here on this site!

Search the forums, there are many threads dealing with recommended pumps, noise levels, head, and flow-rates.

Yes, the D5 (Laing manufactured) would be capeable of the system you are proposing. I have basically th same setup, but only 1 gpu, but a DD-HDD cooler... and flow rates are OK (though I have not taken a timed flow rate check).

Be very careful here. We've seen a lot of anecdotal evidence that the pumps fail. However, I wouldn't bet my house on it being a bad design. What I will say is that C-Systems did not show an ability to quickly handle customer problems when they did arise.

Remember that we may not be seeing a truly representative sample when we see issues. I'd like for us to see the failure data from both Laing and C-Systems, but I'm sure that they would not release such sensitive information.

I just wish I had a quieter pump than the Laing D5's that I have. I'm really tempted to switch out for an Eheim 1250 that I have laying around and see if it has enough oomph to keep the system within tolerances.

Somewhere in the forums I have seen then posting that C-systems is no longer retailing pumps. They will only be oem manufacturing... and will not specify for whom they will be doing this. See Here: http://forums.procooling.com/vbb/sho...16&postcount=2

This is probably for the best. They weren't really set up to do retail.
