I want the get my watercooling loop going and thinkin of a Phobya DC12-260 600LPH pump. The loop will have a PA120.3, Dtek fuzion V1 and a 4890 graphics card block; proberly another PA120.2 rad as well all in one loop. What do we think? Thanks.
Can someone confirm if this pump is powerful enough please

2.6m of head is OK, 600lph is with no restriction which obviously won't be the case with two blocks and maybe two rads. Why do you need two by the way? Seems like overkill!
Less head than a DDC 10W (3.3m) but more flow (440LPH) but way less than an 18W which does 4.7m with 600lph. And that's with the standard top rather than one of the better after-market ones.
To my mind, the pump is the one area not to scrimp on because a good one will last you for years and see you through several upgrades. Get a DDC Ultra with an XSPC res-top. More money but much better option.

There is also the Swiftech Laing D5 Vario MCP655 12V DC Pump which i use
and have no problems with flow using a pa120.2 a dtek fusion v1 a black ice etreme 120.1 and also a reserator as my res.
Ive got a couple of vga water blocks to add to the loop and replace the reserator with an internal res to shorten the tubing run but with the D5 there should be no probs.
Looking at the 2 rads you intend to use they are the restriction within your loop so i would look at either the
DDC 18W with res top or the Laing D5
