How much can a pump handle???

[Dtech]

I'm using an AquaXtreme 50Z-DC12 Mag Drive Inline Pump with two 80mm black ice rads, a dual 80mm black ice rad, CPU and chipset blocks and I want to add a 6800 GPU block to the loop.

Tubing is 1/2" ID throughout.

LOOP:

pump - dual rad - CPU - 80mm rad - GPU - 80mm rad - chipset - resevoir - pump

Everything is cascading downward starting with the dual 80mm rad.

then upward to the res. and down to the pump, loop complete.

Is this a little tooooo much for the one pump??????

Thanks for you help!!!

Well I've never used this pump before personally but from this spec page:

http://cooltechnica.com/Merchant2/m...Product_Code=AQX-50Z-DC12&Category_Code=P#PQC

It seems to have the best flow rates under high pressure so I'd give it a try (unless of course the water going through your system is already at a trickle and you know it...).

Thanks for the reply.mesyn191

I already have this system set-up & working...... I'm just asking if adding a GPU block to what I have already will be over the top for this pump.


Thanks

why dont you put two pumps... both on oppocite sides of the loop..

your sig is WAAAAY too long... 10 lines is the limit
