1/2" System w/ 3/8" Reservoir & Flow Questions?
This will be my first H2O cooling system setup.
I'll be using:
Swiftech MCW6002-P CPU Waterblock 1/2"
Swiftech MCW20-P Chipset Block
Swiftech MCP-650 In-Line Water Pump
D-Tek Customs 120mm Pro Radiator 1/2" Fittings
1/2" Clearflex 60 tubing.
CoolerMaster WaveMaster case
Due to the size of my case, I've decided on an external reservoir. My choices are pretty much either the Innovatek Tank-O-Matic (http://www.modthebox.com/review242_3.shtml) or the Noise Isolator External Reservoir (http://www.water-cooling.com/reviews/noiseisolator/page1.php)
My question is about flow rates and performance. Since both of these reservoirs have 3/8" fittings, will that hinder my system performance, or will the pump just be able to push a higher pressure through the smaller connections?
