I used to use my Eheim 1250 with CPU, NB and GPU blocks and a 120mm rad.
It always did a reasonable job, but I decided to use it for just the CPU after getting my new 3.0C P4.
Unfortunately, whilst assembling the new system I managed to screw the outlet barb in a bit too far and have cracked the casing
I'm now looking to buy a new pump!
As I'm only going to be using it to cool the CPU, do I need such a powerful pump or could I get away with a smaller one?
The WC setup will be used in my Lian-Li Mid Tower and will consists of -
OCPC 'The Deep' 120mm Rad (similar to the black ice ones)
1 x 120mm YS-Tech Fan
OCPC Atlantis High Flow CPU Block
1/2" Tygon Tubing
New Pump.
So far, my options seem to be -
New Eheim 1250
Smaller Eheim (1048/1046)
What other pumps should I be considering and what would you guys recommend?
Alternatively, I could blow my whole "smaller pump" theory by getting a Hydor L40 (2800 L/h as opposed to the 1200L/h of my 1250) which I've seen going cheap. Would this be overkill?? Are these very noisy/big?? Also, I've read that they use 3/4" barbs. Would the Tygon fit over this or would I need to buy adapters??
Thanks in advance
