Damaged NextFlow, bad luck

My loop is 3 rads, 2 45mm 360's (one of them crossflow) and one 30mm 360, GPU block and CPU block with the HighFlow Next in the loop too. I'm guessing the just shy of 200l/h the NextFlow reports is as much as the D5 Next can push through it. (But 200 should be good enough right?)
At 100% the D5 Next is completely silent so I have no complaints there.

it will be more than enough yes. also remember if you did not play the case tilt game yet : if you have pockets of air still in the rads, it may still restrict flow (and the leakshield will pick them up as abnormal pressure variations when the pump speed changes). the leakshield has a deaeration function too i believe to help with that.
If your loop is fully de-aerated, then you're at your maximum flow.
When you'll do your little thermal tests, you may realize that you don't need to run the pump at full speed, so it will be even more silent.

Yes, it has a nice deaeration mode and I do the tilting in every direction to get air pockets out. I'm not too concerned about the pockets until I fill the loop for production, currently I'm just doing flush after flush trying to get all the damn dirt out.

... and slim rads are very restrictive. The flow you get is almost what i have with 3 crossflow rads and two waterblocks, something around 240L/h (with a DDC).
You basically replicated a typical loop by adding a single 30mm rad
I did not realize a 30mm rad was that restrictive. It's an Alphacool NexXoS ST-30 v2 with 15 FPI. I always thought of 30mm rads as the reference, so "Slim" rads are less than 30mm and "Thick" rads are more than 30mm. I still need to get 2 more rads for the real loop so will look into the cross-flow versions. Thanks for the insight.
