Hi all.
Well i have said its poor flow rate but have nothing to compare it to.

My set up: 750lh submersible pump feeding a 500lh (hydro 500) > CPU >Res

If i pull the pipe before my CPU it will empty my 25l res in less than 2 mins. But after the CPU the flow is just poor. I mean VERY poor, 2 mins to fill a cup.

O water block EK-Supreme LT Intel

Its cool but dont think its at its best. 25s on idle 55/60 under load @4Ghz

Is this normal ? or ?

So you have 2 pumps in series, one after another? Could be kinks in the tubing somewhere? maybe the pump is just not powerful enough in terms of providing pressure despite the specs.

Also prob best not linking to competitors also :p

No mate no kinks all clear and new parts so not worn. Only 2 weeks running time and been like this from the start.

Will fix the link :)

The pump says " • H-max: 2.6Meters +/- 10% " its only doing 2 feet max head of water 1/2inc bore.

Thinking new water block.

Running two pumps in series is a bad idea, stronger pump is likely to kill the weaker one.

2.6m head should be ample for the ek block (which does well with low pressure loops, what were you hoping to replace it with?), about my only guess is the pumps fighting resulting in a low head pressure. What happens to the flow if you turn one/other off?
