Found a submersible fountain pump today for $18. It's rated at 120GPH.
Now I know a 150GPH Eheim is pretty popular but it's also pretty expensive. I'm trying to rig my home WC setup for as little $$ as possible.
So my question is how much is minimum for a "simple" water setup? I'm planning on hitting 1800-2000MHz with my AXP1700 T-bred and just cooling the CPU only at this point. My goal is decent cooling and a quiet rig.
I've got the heater core and tube/fittings for a 3/8 inch setup and plan to use a Swiftech block.
Now don't reply with thing like "You really should use a 150-300GPH pump because... um... well that's what everyone uses!". I've certainly read enough posts to know what many folks are using.
Does anyone have experience with multiple rigs running at different flow rates and possibly different tube diameters (i.e. 3/8 and 1/2 inch) to confidently give a minimum flow rate recommendation for my moderate OC goal?
