Erm... You sure about that? If you've got two similar blocks, the flow resistance from them in parallell will be less than that for them in series. While this cuts the flow rate through the paralell blocks, it increases the system flow rate as a whole. If you split the flow at/after the CPU block then surely the CPU benefits from the increased flow while the GPU/NB/Other gubbins (which is less temperature sensitive) has reduced cooling.
This is all theoretical (I have yet to build a water cooled system) but it appears to make sense to me.
