Is this pump powerful enough

I have the following

360 rad, 240 rad, CPU block and a 7990 GPU block all running of a dual 5 1/4 res / pump combo from XSPC.

I thing the res / pump is one of the older ones supplied with the XSPC RASA kits rated at 750 l/h

The question is, is this pump powerful enough to push the fluid around my kit, 2 rads, GPU and CPU blocks, efficiently ?
 
DDC with the XSPC Reservoir top would be my safe recommendation.

The XSPC res pump will work, but flow may not be high enough to have optimal cooling. It will work however.

It is currently what I have in my system as above and I am wondering if the flow rate is too slow ?

Like the look of the DC5 / XSPC black combo :)
 
What do you mean by efficiently? The water will move, just not as fast as with a D5.

Increasing flow rate does decrease temperatures, but not by very much. There are some effects related to high pressure and impingement cpu blocks, but it'll still beat most air setups.

If you'd like a crude test, switch the pump off and watch temperatures for a few hours. It'll take quite a while for them to get high enough to be worrying, and they'll fall like a stone when you plug the pump back in.
