How to determine if pump is sufficient

[michalius]

So, looking to do a Prodigy build. I have some DC-LT pumps left over from a planned build that was scrapped due to how poorly designed the Alphacool dual DC-LT reservoir is. Well, the have a new single pump reservoir that looks fantastic. The size is absolutely perfect for a Prodigy.

2500K + 670 under water with a 240x45mm rad and the Phobya 200mm rad. As it's a small case, there won't be a lot of tubing. I'm just unsure how to determine whether the pump will be sufficient enough with the different statistics.

They are as follows:

Pressure Head @ 12V - 2.5m H2O
Flow Rate - approx. 350l/h, 92.47g/h

I appreciate the help!

Slightly off topic but how loud is the DC-LT? I'm also thinking of doing a Prodigy build

Well, matched with the dual DC-LT reservoir, it's pretty horrible. I'm not trying to trash Alphacool as a company, as I use tons of their products still, but they totally missed the mark on that one.

When it was working well for the thing is super quiet. In a bay device, it'd be about equivalent to a D5 on a low setting.

I would think 350l/h is a tad low but I may be wrong as you said not alot of tubing in it. But I'd also say give it a toss and see how it goes.
