i just got a new pump DDC 10w, and a new rad GTS-Lite 360
i was hoping for a massive upgrade from my xspc pump/res and 120mm rad. instead i have a very slow flow and temps have gone up.

cooling ring is.

alpha cool 250ml tube res -> DDC 10w Pump stock top -> heatkiller 3.0(am3+) -> GTS-Lite 360 -> Res

Tubing is 10mm/16mm xspc clear, coolant is deionized water as allays.
Temps have gone up due to the slow flow, but is this the fault of the pump or rad?
 
i know the flow is slow because i can see it trickling into the res from the top port. the old set up the water going in was very clearly under more force

i will give it a shake latter to see if all the air is out of the loop
 
hahahaha i am a total n00b.
i had the pump running into an extension then the psu, the extention was a molex fan speed reducer. so the 12v pump was running at about 7v.

all is now sorted i will give myself a good talking to for this
