Good water PSI?

[Theorie]

Hey guys, hows it going! I was wondering what an average PSI rating would be on a watercooling setup. I put together an inline pressure gauge, but I want to know what I should be looking for PSI wise. I will post a pic of what I put together when I get home (I'm at work as usual...). My gauge goes from 0 to 45 PSI by the way. Got any info on recomended pressure for a W/C system?

what is your pump advertised PSI?

[Theorie]

I have no idea. I mean for a watercooling system in general, what is an average desired PSI? my pump I am using is a 380gph flow rate, but im not sure what they said the psi rating should be...if this is a dumb question, someone let me know.

Not a dumb question at all. PSI is more important than flow. If Pump X has a flow rate of 380GPH at 0' Head, and has a 100GPH rating at a 2' head, this is not very good. I've got my eye on an Iwaki pump, rated at 420GPH at a 14' head.
