I just got a 250gph mag-drive
does it have enough pressure for a cpu,video card,chipset waterblock and 2 radiators?
it only has to push water up maybe 2' and all connections are 3/8" including the hose
I also have a 350gph pump but its a submersible and is sorta loud...
would the temps change more thin ~5c between the two pumps?

BUMP!!
come on I need to know if I need to make a resavor for my next case mod:(
I bet it's strong enough to move water through it, but probably not at a decent flow rate. What is the max head height? You can fudge together some numbers to figure it out yourself: if the pump can push, let's say 100gph at 5 feet, and you figure that all your components give about the same resistance to flow as 5 feet of hose going straight up, then yeah you are ok. Estimating the resistance different pieces give can be a pain however, maybe just hook it all up and let it pump water into an empty 5 gallon bucket. Get a stopwatch, time how long it takes to fill up- there's your flow rate right there!:D

ok thanks for the reply
I will just use the mag-drive thin and make sure I have as little resistance as posible
