hello guys. I will try to make this as short as possible.

I have been watercooling my 3.2E along with 6800 ultra for a couple of months already using the damn noisy MCP650, well I just got so sick and went ahead and ordered 2x MCP350 to run instead of that noisy thing but my problem is my blocks and rads (2x dual heatercores) are 1/2" ID so I did a little draw for you guys of what I had in mind to make these pump work with my system without converting the whole system into 3/8" ID, let me know if that will work please. oh I will be running them in parallel just for the fact that these pumps' heads are great but flow is a bit weak for me, so running them in parallel will up the flow a little bit, am I right? oh and why 2, well let's say I don't think one will be enough to perform well in a 2 blocks/2 dual heatercore/res/12 feet tubing system (rads/res/pump are mounted externally)

Edited:

just to clear things up a bit, here is how the flow goes.

RES>Pumps>Rad1>Rad2>CPU block>GPU block>Res.

flow VS tubing

Res---------3/8"--------pumps(parallel with each pump getting watter from a 3/8" barb from the res)-----------3/8"------Y connector------1/2"-------Rads------1/2"-------Cpu block--------1/2"-------Gpu block----1/2"-----Res again

thanks everyone
