Well hte TDX is incredibly restrictive in its own right (but i love mine) , and the nv68 block has alot of channeling in that thing, so its going to add some resistance. the 90 degree turns it makes arnt the best either.

Here are my suggestions redleader. First off get rid of the go forsaken NB block. there is NO need for it. if u want good cooling on it get a zalman fanless cooler. if there is some case flow then it will stay nice and frosty. Seconldy, have the 2 exhust lines from the rbx come toghether before they hit the nv68block. Third: set up ur sytem like this
Pump > CPU > NV68 > RAD > PUMP
Having the rad after the pump (before it hits the cpu) is not doing you any favors. its just killing the pressure that the rbx is getting. and if you think its keeping the water a bit cooler before it gets to the cpu.. well its not measurable... the differneces are in the 0.XC.

As far as power consumption. a barton at 2.4ghz consumes around 90-110 watts of power at load. for reference a xp3200 consumes 76 watts and a xp3000consumes 64watts.
