I've often wondered about the commonly suggested routing fo going from rad ->cpu -> nb -> gpu.

I question why the suggested route puts all of the heat from the cpu (probably the hottest component) into the nb and gpu? If you run it across the cpu first and then run all that heated water across the other 2 (nb especialy) then why water cool them? Seems as though the nb will wind up being hotter than it was w/o water cooling.
I haven't been able to check this but it makes sense.
