I'd like your opinion on a pump that I have selected for a watercooling setup I am planning on creating sometime in the future. (note I already own the pump)
I looked around using the search function to see if this pump had ever been mentioned before, but didn't see anything.
The pump is a Hagen Powerhead 802 submersible pump
400 GPH at max flow rate, the flow can be restricted
6.7 GPM
4' of in line pressure
1/2" ID compatible
I was planning on building a Resivor out of some thick acrylic or possibly a rubbermaid container with the pump epoxyed in place. I know having a submersible pump will generate some heat.
I was looking at a graph just a little bit ago, and noticed that waterblock efficiency seemed to drop as flow rate increased. Most pumps and block run around 1.25-2.9 GPM. So this pump would be extremely overkill.
What are your thoughts about it? I posted this idea a couple of times at overclock.net, but there are more people here to respond ideas.
