I am working on my first water cooler build and need some help selecting a water pump. I would like a quiet build. I plan on cooling my GPU and CPU with a 280mm radiator. I'd like to put the res and pump in some of the 3 avalable 5.25 bays. However, I can mount a pump on the bottom of the case. In the future I plan on OCing the GPU and CPU. I may need to add more rads and can fairly easly add 1 or 2 140mm rads.
Sould I just pick up whatever 35x pump? I've read they are quiet, but unsure what limitations they have.
From what I have read so far it seems I need to determine the resistance of my unit and and have a flow rate of 1 to 1.5 GPM. Is this true? If so, how do I calculate this and then, use that information to select a pump?
