Will this pump be enough for this loop?

very true... the corrosion that ensues is subtle but F8&Ck*ng irritating... make sure to use some decent antifreeze in that loop...

edit: also thats one of the best pumps on the market, the thing is a beast, it will definitely power that loop. Also that rad is not very restrictive, so that pump will definitely work well.
 
Would either of you kindly recommend me CPU block to compliment the rest of my loop, then?
 
Fellers, where is the aluminum in his parts list??

That pump is great. You should have no problems, though I'm not familiar with the Kollance blocks. They look thin and could be restrictive, but I'm not sure. Do some research and be sure to buy the 1/2" nozzles.
 
actually, spankenstein is right... haha aluminum there is not. i was just too laze too look through the parts list... that CPU block is great... I like apogee GT from swiftech but that loop looks good. That rad is good too, i uset to have one just like it. Works great for "quiet" non-panaflo setups. Still you are mixing metals and a little antifreeze is never a bad idea.
 
the pump is a winner, the rad is a good choice, that new MC-TDX is very free flowing, those new koolance blox are supposed to perform quite well (no performance #'s as of yet) and they apparently contain NO aluminum

what do you plan to use for fans?

:toast:
 
even if they dont contain aluminium (ill bet theres some in there with it being koolance) i would not choose them over an EK block
 
someones been reading my posts :p

What is static pressure? I found no explanation in your link.
 
static pressure denotes a fans ability to "push" air

basically : a fan with low static pressure will not be able to very effectively "push" the air through a rad, whereas on the other hand a fan with high static pressure will be able to remain efficient even when "loaded"

fans specs are given based on open air results.

google is youre friend, my friend ;)

axial fans have inherantly low static pressure. The best fans for the job by far are radial fans....but they aint easy to find at the right size/voltage
