I'm in the slow process of making an external water cooling loop that's "non traditional" of sorts. Basically, I'm doing a short rigid cooling loop that will involve CPU and multiple GPUs (more than likely just two though) connected by a water bridge. I have everything picked out, some stuff ordered, others waiting for my lazy butt to order, but the one thing I keep going around on is the pump. I don't want 12v as I won't be having any power cables coming out of my PC. Now I have http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BJK3QQ/?tag=tec06d-20 this pump already but curious if anybody has any better ideas to toss my way. In the aquatic world and fountain/waterfall/pond world there are a plethora of options that I could be looking around for days. I'm sure somebody here has done this sort of thing or knows somebody in person or online that might have better ideas. I intend on using regular 1/2" tubing for the outside loop for ease of use and my laziness and will probably use my res from my previous loop.
The rad I will be using is the extra OP Watercool rad, possibly two when my CPU gets upgraded. Fans and airflow are already taken care of. I don't need preaching of practicality or real world performance and cost isn't that big of a deal since I'm doing this lazily over time. I really don't need water but it's just a project I want to do and I miss having a custom loop.
I'm open to thoughtful ideas on pump and res as those aren't 100% set in stone, or other whacky ideas that might be better than the huge Watercool rad. Yes, I've looked at those water chillers too, and I've already got phase change out of my system. (My single stage is broke from a major UPS disaster)
Edit: I put this under modding and electronics due to the nature of asking about a pump, but have no qualms with the thread being moved to overclocking and cooling if that's where it needs to go.
