Eheim aquarium pump in cooling loop?

Pump Output: 700 l/h... that's mind boggling...
thats 11.65 L/m.. I want to know what temps you would be getting in that set up. I wonder if the pump it self will heat the water as it drives it.
My D5 is only getting 3 L/m at setting 3 of 5 and my temps are 23C idel and 35-45C under load.

The pump doesn't heat the water as far as I can tell. It's designed for use on cold and warm water aquariums and with the flow rate and the amount of water in the system if it does heat it its not by much. The pump is built into the head of the canister and all the heat comes out of the top.

The great thing is 8watts running power and its designed to run 24/7.

The rad I chose has very little restriction and the CPU is the same.

Temps, well I ran 1.5v the other day and didn't get above 80C.

Temps at 4.7 @ 1.255v are max under IBT Very high stress test for 40 passes 62C

I have delidded the chip as well. If I want my system colder I could upgrade my cpu cooler. The XSPC RASA is doing a fine job but it is only an entry level cpu block. I'm sure If I paid more for a 'top end' one. Could improve temps further but I really don't need to, If I can't max the system out with IvyBridge I don't think it can be maxed out unless I start getting crazy with the volts.

It might need tweaking once I water cool a GPU too but at the moment I think it's pretty cool
