Could i run a fish tank filter as a pump/reso combo?

Would this work instead of having to buy a pump and reso

proably but you would be able to run it from the computer and give it input for the speed

buut if you wan't to go realy junky then use rspi or ardunino and get inout over the voltage from the pump header and controll the pump with this info

What kind of filter do you have? 

 

I wouldn't recommend having it attached to the fish tank too though as the cpu/GPU blocks would get dirty really fast.

This was done in the very early days iirc.  I vaguely recall there being issues but I don’t remember what they were.  It’s not an any filter thing, and there are other problems.  I don’t recall what they were though.

It's a spare and it isn't being used

What stats do you have for it?

I use a car radiator. I was able to snag a new one for less than a 240mm rad. I use the royal purple coolant additive to obtain the biocide so I can avoid using an of the shelf glycol mix. 

 

Having said that, an AIO will be much less trouble in the long run. The huge rad I have eliminates the need to force air through it, so it's quiet, and this custom setup allowed me to use 3 waterblocks to cool my graphics card because a factory block wasn't available, but I'm not sure if I'd mess with this again. It's cheaper but high maintenance. 

 

Anyway, consider the royal purple to keep the water under control.
