Water Pump help

ForTiLLiaN · 06-17-2001, 11:24 PM

Ive been testing a MagDrive at the petstore i work at, and it heats up the water, and it gets pretty hot itself. Its a 250PH. Any ideas, or know of a better pump? Thanks

Most pumps will get hot anyway. And generally speaking, the more powerful the hotter. Since magdrive motors are not in contact with propeller or water at all, it's no problem apart from your case temp rising a bit.

OK, so if you put the pump in the res and make sure the radiator is before the water block(s), you shouldn't have a problem right?

Res-->Rad-->Water Block(s)-->Res

I mean the rad should still be able to dissipate the heat and you don't have to worry about an inline pump adding case heat and noise.

Just my thoughts..........
