mainboard :asus striker2 extreme
GPU : leadtek nvidia 9800GX2
CPU : intel dual core E8600

cooling stuff :

mainboard:nvidia 790 sli cooling kit (north/south + voltageregulator)
CPU : Alphacool NexXxoS X2 Plus Highflow
GPU : Aquacomputer aquagraFX 9800GX2

radiator : Black ICE Radiator GT Xtreme 480 (+4 SilenX iXtrema Pro 14dBa ( 120x120x25mm ))
pump : Innovatek HPPS Plus - 12V Pump

so that's gonna be 5 coolingblocks; question is...is it ok to put them all in a single loop or maybe put the north/south in a parallel loop and the rest single loop ?
i was thinking of this kind of loop :

radiator ---> pump---> CPU-->north--->south-->voltage reg--->GPU

now im not gonna do some insane overclocking stuff;it's more to get a quiet setup :-)

i have been sniffing around and some say parallel,others say it doesn't matter. i for one don't think it matters.
and second...im reading more and more and starting to think that maybe my pump isn't strong enough for this setup.

this is my first WC setup so any comment or help is appreciated :-)
