I'm planning to mod my case and redoing all my watercooling setups. (Main rig and gaming rig)

OK i've been thinking but not quite sure of which pump to go with in my main rig setup.
Here is what its gonna be :
pump --- Y- fittings- 2 MCW5002As (parallel)-- 1 block to dual 120mm heatercore--- 1 block to a single 120mm heatercore- then both will go to a bayres( 2 inputs, 1 output) -- back to pump.

I hope you can image what it looks like. Now i have 3 pump to choose from : MCP600 , Hydor L30 and Mag3.

My thought is that Mag3 or Hydor L30 will outperform MCP600 in this case since i need more flow than pressure/head. What is your thought?

I want some facts/logical thought....

Thanks in advance,
 
sure, I'll need the following:

precise friction coefficents of all materials in your loop
precise inside diameters of all tubes and fittings of your loop, including any and all tapers
precise pressure drop of all blocks
precise information about your coolant

get me that and I'll get back to you

or, take our word for it.
 
but... what about flowrate? How high is MCP600 head?

I thought since i go for parallel i should need high flowrate ....

Thanks
