[fatshlink]

Erm....what's wrong with an aquarium pump?

[fatshlink]

:rolleyes: well the way that i see it is i care more about my computer than a fish tank. their i would like to get something a little more reliable than a fish tank pump. but i may end up using one still...

[Frodo Baggins]

Uh...well...I'm not exactly the most experience OCer here...but...wtf is wrong with aquarium pumps??

heh, anyways, I have no idea what kind of other pumps exist. You can go right ahead and order a water cooling kit, and you'll see that you'll still get an aquarium pump. I mean, it's a pump for god sakes. There are many kinds, I think the best is the Mag Drive, but heck, I've been testing out the pump I bought for 30 $ canadian 160 GPH and it's been running non stop since 3 days ago

[fatshlink]

meh:o

[Frodo Baggins]

Heh, but you don't have to listen to me or nothing, you can always phone NASA and ask them for a nice water pump they have;)

[fatshlink]

im getting ip in the money rite now nasa pumps well thats getting up in the $20 or so wouldnt you say

[Frodo Baggins]

heh, prolly like 2000 GPH, enough that if a connection slips water will bust a hole through yoru case

[fatshlink]

te eheim 1250 puts out like7317 according to their web site. and by the way that is 7317

[Frodo Baggins]

Heh, you do know that if you have the water flowing so fast, the rad will have no chance of cooling it? Or else your going to have like 5 rads in a row. Jeez, go out and buy a MagDrive 300 GPH pump is way enough IMO. Anything 150 GPH and up is enough for the job, and some ppl can do with 70 GPH and up

Thats a typo it's 317gph.

If it was 7317gph it would blow your rad and waterblock apart. and the hose could not take the pressure.

[fatshlink]

yea i know that, just thought iw was funny. a fishtank moter like that would pump a whole fish tank in a few seconds, not to mention a couple of fish:(

[Frodo Baggins]

Yeah..I thought that was unusual.....hehe, blow your waterblock...forget he damn block, that'll blow your fish from here to the north pole

I think everyone uses aquarium pumps...some are far more expensive than others, too, personally I ordered a Rio 600 for like $16, it will get the job done.

i was thinking of something around 300 gph because i am going to run copper tubbing around my minifrige.
