i know i cant get a pump from germany because we in the USA are on 120v, but what pump would your recomend, 1046, 1048, or the 1250? i found a 1046 with a 12v connector but im afraid this wont be enoght power, i want whatever will make things run cooler, and is better.

Hi and welcome to the forum!

It depends on your system wich pump to take... for most systems (including CPU, northbridge, graphicscard, radiator, and HDD-Coolers) the 1046 is more than enough. if you got something bigger or a CPU cooler with microstructures, take a 1048 or a 1250... everything else is overkill

for a baby like this I would recommend a 1250 - it actually hase one - (the water passes all four tubes on the edges) more pix @ HardOCP

I don't know anything about the power of the 12Volt version of the 1046 but I haven't heard anything negative about it neither. I think it might be a good solution in your case since the 110 Volt in the US. But: the 12V version is only running when your PC is on and therefore filling the system might be a bit tricky :

Hope I could help

hi gerald,

under "normal circumstances" the 1046 runs pretty well with sufficent water current. the 1046 is even a bit more quiet compared to the 1048.
if you intend using a large external radiator, you may consider using the 1048. the 1250 is overkill, and a higher flow rate does not necessarily mean better cooling.
