I see nowt said there, it was only a single spost you linked me too as well sadly. How would i get the pump to run @ 13.8V anyway!!!!

Currently am running 2 x Eheim 1048 (series) and my temps have dropped by 7c!!!!
 
Single 120mm radiator: First choice: Swiftech MCP600 or AquaXtreme 50Z. Silence Choice: Eheim 1048
Dual 120mm radiator: First choice: Iwaki MD-20RZ, Second choice MCP600. Silence Choice: Eheim 1048 or 1250
Larger radiators: Iwaki MD-20RZ all the way, with the MCP600 as a good second option.

Iwaki MD-20RZ i think might woth a look and a bit of fun

Tom yeah i'll have please mate. seam to be helping each other out rather a lot. Catch ya on msn when i get home a son dial up @ work and not ment to use it
 
Swiftech MCP600v2 here (AQ 50z) and it is very quiet and an amazing pump. Very quiet and good power. It is the best all rouder pump and pretty much unrivalled without going all out for an Iwaki.

Having said that though, you currently have a dual pump system with Eheim's in series - I think that is probably more powerful than the 50z would be so unless you are after convenience of not having to worry about relays/switches, then you might as well stick with that.

Running parallel isn't really great. Basically, you will have the pumps working partially against each other at the 'Y' - not much, but partially. Secondly, unless they both have a reservoir before their inlets (in between the Y and their inlet), then they will also fight for water. This is actually quite inefficient. Series is best for water setups as the pressure in the water will be doubled. Think a 1.5v battery, and then you add another one to make 3V. Each battery is a 'pump' and two will provide more pump pressure.
 
Iwaki's costs start from about £100 for the 20 version and probably 150 for the 30. That really kills a budget and it's almost worth phase change for the CPU at this price point with all other bits considered.

It is harder to get hold of them in the UK too.
 
Been through thios, 478 is a no no on both, phase kills em as they not hot enough and water chiller might as well go phase.

Having a cascade built soon drawing be done right now for my big upgrade in July

I got all my water stuff here just need pump.

So whats the best iwaki to get then for my pc?? Mains powered, i found a uk site and a usa one with all the models listed
