Hey everyone,
I am going to set up a water-cooled HTPC and I want to buy a very, very quiet pump. I used to have a CPU loop with an MCP-350 and it was pretty quiet, but I'm not sure if it is powerful enough for the loop I am planning:
Black Ice GTS 240 XFLOW
Enzotech Sapphire CPU block
Swiftech MCW60-4870 GPU block
3/8" ID tubing (unfortunately, I am almost positive the case is too tight to fit 1/2" ID)
How quiet are those EK-DCP pumps (also branded as OCZ hydro pulse and others) compared to the Liang DDC pumps? And how weak of a pump can I get away with - I'm not looking for huge OCing and I will either use a 65W or 85W CPU - considering my loop?
Thanks for the advice guys
