I am a fish tank guy and watercooling sounds intresting to me..
thing is. I have this pump that I got not too long ago..

"pumps 240 gallons per hour at 17 foot head pressure to 1225 gallons per hour at 3 foot head pressure"
It can handle up to 50PSI of back pressure.
Thing is.. I'm not sure if this is too much pump for a water cooling system..
I realize its 120V and I can think of ways to get around that (a relay comes to mind)
If it is too much pump (too much pressure for the blocks/rad to handle) what would be a good maximum?
Looking at pumps made for water cooling I did notice some models were adapted from fish tank models, just fitted with 12V DC..
thanks in advance..
