1200 MAX water pump

[trav3480]

I'm makeing a DIY watercooling system at home. I got a commercail use submergable water pump from work for free. At max, wich will not happen, it can do 1200GPH or 20gpm. Whats the chances of this blowing apart a Danger Den Maze 4 water block The stock outlet is 1", and I have cut that down to 1/2" outlet, so of course water will be down. Any suggestion greatly appreciated.

GPH is not pressure

what is the max PSI or head pressure?

that's a beast

26.3ft is the head height

that's about 15psi

you will want hose clamps, for sure, but your heatercores and waterblocks are not in danger

you will need a big radiator for all the heat the pump will put into the loop (60w)
