I have a lytron radiator that measure 15"x17", it has 4 rows of "coils" (copper piping) and figured it would be A good start to a custom loop. The question I have is how powerful of a pump would I need to get the 1 gpm rate I've read about? Or how I would figure that out?

The Issue I'm running into is whether or not the pump will have enough force to push at the rated GPM because of how large the loop will be due to the large size radiator.

It will have fans and I will attach it to the side of my case. I just feel uneasy about buying a pump and it not having enough power to push water through it effectively. Common sense tells me this radiator is almost the size of a car radiator so I would need a car sized pump, but I would then run into power problems due to most pumps are 24v. Thanx for all your inputs!
