If I use low restriction items these will this pump be able to give enough flow in the system using 7/16" tubings ?

D-TEK FuZion v2
MCW 30 Chipset
MCW 60 GPU
XSPC RS360

I am just very tempted by the noise level and price of this pump, but if its not powerful enough then thats to no use :down:

Anyone got some qualified guesses?

Borderline, I'd say. The pump's rated head pressure is actually less than a DB-1 or a stock Laing 3.1, despite the high flow numbers. Modded aquarium pump, maybe?

Plugging that stuff into Martin's flow estimator with a DB-1 gives about an even 1gpm, which is tolerable, but those aren't high-restriction blocks, and you could certainly do better.
