hi im using 2 pumps a 3/8 inch and a 1/2 inch submersable pumps each has a head of around 7 and flow rate around 24~26 gph this is my setup below:

SWIFTECH APOGEE cpu block
SWIFTECH MCW60 gpu block
Swiftech MCR220-QPB Dual 120mm Radiator
ZEREX SUPER COOLANT 12OZ
3 Ft of 3/8 tubbing
14 ft of 1/2 tubbing
1 y fitting
1 3/8 to 1/2 fitting
and an icechest as the resevior

i have two questions one is will the pumps be powerfull to pump the water thro the tubbing about 6~8 ft of 1/2 tubing and the second question is will the setup be atquit to cool my pentium d 805 overclocked to 3.6ghz?
thanks you for your replays
 
Dude those pumps won't do. You need a flow rate of at least 600 L/H. You have 99 L/H at most! It will pump it through the tubs if the back pressure doesn't fry the pump. Temps? Humm better stick to air... I say no go until you get a better pump!
 
or you could get a mcp355, it's a bit louder. But if you want get that mcp350+alphcool top. $120 is pretty pricey. If you buy them seperate you'll save like $10 or something, especially if you buy it used.
