water cooling advice...

[Element-Xero]

alright ive been thinking about it for a while but im finally going through with my massive case-upgrade.

Aside from new case and psu, this is what im getting from dden

maze3 wb, dangerden gpu wb, black ice pro
(all 1/2 fittings btw)

now I was going to go for the ehiem 1240 for about 65 bucks, but i have heard about the aqua via and other such pumps performing at least as well at about 24 bucks.

Any comments on my setup?

Pump choice? thanks.

I think Ehiem is the best pump made, period. Yeah you can get one cheaper but the quality will not be there. I would go with the 1048, that's what I use (158GPH) but it puts out a lot less heat and it is smaller. I would save your $ and get an 87 Chevy Chevette heater core for $20. I also would not get the Maze 3, heard too many stories of them leaking, at least get the copper top if you do. I would get the MCW462-UH or see the results on the TC-4. The Gemini spiral blocks kick too... I think all will perform better than the Maze 3.

correct me if im wrong, but i think id need more gph than that if i were to cool my gpu as well, which would force me to purchase the higher model and spend more $
