This, I tried. I got more from restarting the pc.It makes virtually no difference unless you have a very low flow rate.
It should be a easy thing to test.
Set the pump to full power.
Run a cpu intensive benchmark until everything is up to temperature.
Then slow the pump down and see if there is any temp change.
I bet it's less than 1 degree from almost silent to full power with most modern pumps.
