Okay, trying again...

Suppose we have dual CPUs cooled with identical blocks, and we change from a series to parallel arrangement. If total system flow doubles (so same flow per block), pressure loss across the blocks drops to 1/4 of series'. No surprise: per-block flow will increase, pump allowing.

Doubling the total flow again would give the same pressure drop as with blocks in series. At this point, the pump would provide 4x the flow at the same pressure loss when compared to the series setup. Only with a magic pump...

So Snutten's claim of >2x flow in each block can't be correct. And that ignores increasing the radiator's pressure drop by 16x!
