Can my pump handle it !?

Thread Starter 
Ok so my current water pump is a: Phobya DC12-400 thats rated at 800l/h with a head pressure of 4 meters

I currently have: a watercool heatkiller cpu block, koolance north and south bridge waterblocks, a single 120mm coolgate rad (thick) and a triple 120mm swiftech rad, everything is 1/2"ID tubing.
But i am planning to add 2 gtx 570 aquacomputer waterblocks.......... so my questions are: Will this pump be able to handle all of the waterblocks and rads it has to go through? If not: can i run another of the same pump and run a "discharge into suction" setup to increase head pressure?

Anyways any help on this would be much appreciated, thnks!

itll run it ok.. but the reliability of all those blocks... invest in another pump option.
the GPU andMOSFET blocks are the main restrictions that will cause the pump
to work harder. for a simple CPU/GPU the 400 would be great. kinda inline with
the XSPC 750.
i wouldnt stack pumps, but get the proper pump for the operation. the mpc-35x or D5.

That is a good pump, its a rebrand of a Jingway pump and they are great. IT SHOULD work.

The Phobya DC12-400 should do the job. The head-pressure is a little shy, but can handle it. A DDC-1T (MCP350) with a retail top would be a little better pressure, but the flow is about 1.25g/m. The Phobya DC12-400 seems to show a 3.5g/m, but I'm unaware of the flow curve at that point. It may go flat.

Two MCP350 (DDC-1T) with a performace serial top will do the job too.

Sure, the bad boy MCP355 or MCP35X will do the task without any issues. The Phobya DC12-400 is capable too.

Is the Phobya DC12-400 setup with the RES combo? If so, a MCP355 with a RES combo can be swapped in later if the flow isn't doing what you need. This way, your WCing loop layout in the case can literally remain the same. thumb.gif

Look at your options and the overall costs as well. WCing gear isn't cheap.

Thanks alot for the speedy responses! Ok so the general consensus im getting here is that theres a good chance i should be good to go.

So what about running 2 pumps? Could i theoretically run the discharge of one into the suction of the next to double head pressure?

"Is the Phobya DC12-400 setup with the RES combo?" answer- No, bay resevour is being utilized.

Sweet then. Yes, you can then run your pump and another similar like it. Similar is like a DDC pump or a small Ehim within the ball park flow rates.
