I played around with my pumps last night. I have a GTS360 radiator and Optimus V1 block with some 7/16" tubing. Having that 6W pump pushing through those two yielded a pitiful flow rate because of the V1's restriction.
The 18W flows a pretty hilarious amount of water at full speed through the radiator by itself. Some semi-scientific results of the 18W pump below.
Block + rad at 12V: ~.5gpm
Block + rad at 6.5V (about minimum pump speed): ~.2gpm.
Rad at 6.5V: ~.5gpm
Rad at 12V: ~2gpm. Whoa.
6W pump through block and rad at 12V: ~.2gpm.
I might fool around with these pumps in an O11D Mini ITX build someday for temp vs. flowrate comparisons. 6W might do ok with a lower CPU power limit, or maybe even surprise me.
I wish HardOCP still had their V1 review up. I'd like to see the PQ curve again and compare it against the V2.
