I just bought an Ocean Runner Pump with 650GPH. Is this to much or is this ok? I will be using a WB, Chipset B, Video B. T.

What would be the recomended order in assembly.

Thanks

I've ran dual Via Aqua 370 GPH pumps through my Logic DB-2 and got excellent temps. I think that the more flow you can get through your blocks, the better (all else equal.)

Only thing to worry about with a pump that large is the amount of heat that its putting into the water. Other than that, more is always better.

Remember folks, it's not only about the flowrate (measured in gph, but those terms are not interchangeable)... it's about the relationship between flow and pressure.
