Either...http://www.petrastechshop.com/ddb12inpu.html <--- 1 of those, or 2?
Or...http://www.petrastechshop.com/laddcwpeddto.html

I'm getting a gtx 360, V8, and a gpu water block so which would give me enough power and pressure?
I would prefer the top choice, dunno if I should get 1 or 2 though.

That dB-1 isn't any good, to underpowered, out of those 2, the 18W DDC with Petra top, they have been out of stock there for a long time, probably coming out with a newer top...I'd really suggest a D-5, its a real reliable, powerful pump for a average loop..D-5 vario

What if I didn't underpower them? I'll probably go with your suggestion then.

Oh, found it... 33-34 dba at 2 feet.

You mean the dB-1's? I'd really just get a nice pump, the D-5 is just a really good reliable, work horse of a pump, it would be hard to go wrong by buying one...

Ok, Thanks. I was looking around for a dba rating but I can't seem to find one. Sites just say, quieter than last model, or brush less motor.

There don't seem loud to me, no worse then the DDC is....

I would skip all of them and go with a D5.
Too many problems with the 355's.

NewAtOCing

Ok, thanks. Ill have to think about it.

One question ira-k, why would you assume I would under volt two dB-1? This each require .5amps, I think. If i read my psu correctly it gets up to 19amps. Tell me if this sounds wrong please.

He wasn't saying you'd undervolt them, they're just not the most powerful or adequate pumps for the loops you desire. You'll want a stronger pump to power the loop.
