How Powerful of a Pump to Get?

[Above7heInfluence]

So this will most likely be the layout of my watercooling loop but I don't know how powerful of a pump to get for this. This is in a Rosewill Blackhawk Ultra and the pump is outputting to the 360mm radiator at the top of the case then so on from there. Thanks! Also, if there is a better way to lay this loop out then please tell me. Thanks.

have your pump after your res, and your res higher then pump, or it will die. go with an D5 pump

a D5 variant would be plenty or a DDC,   look up DazMode's how to videos on youtube also, because asking us what we do isn't necessarily what you want too do.

where would i put the pump and reservoir though? in the bottom of the case? Cause I could put the reservoir after the gpu, then pump, then screw the 360mm radiator onto the hard drive cage?

Okay. I was thinking of this EK D5 that i saw on FrozenCPU that has 1500l/h and 3.7 head pressure. also, do you think i should change the layout so the reservoir is higher than the pump?

All D5 pumps are manufactuered by Laing and re-badges by companies like EK, swiftech, etc. There are all the same pump so go for the cheapest option.

 

Also it's not a case of "Do you think I should put the resevoir above the pump." You have no choice but to do it otherwise you will have no way to fill your loop.

Well it wont die but filling the loop will be a lot harder, prolly will need to have his PC on the side,  but if you do EVERYTHING well, you could have the pump higher

its way more likely to die

yes but once you fill the loop that doesnt matter anymore ( where the pump and res are )

Alright I think i came up with a way to have the pump below the reservoir. Thanks!

Put the pump after the reservoir because all the pressure would be lost spraying water into the reservoir and would cause airlocks as it form bubbles.

Dude, res above pump. The res is what feed the water to the pump.
