Series and Parallel
I have been looking at the various posts and it seems that cooling blocks are usually connected in parallel so that the flow rates through all blocks will sum to the flow through the pump.
Does anyone run components in series? The 'downstream' components will get water warmed by the previous componnents, but all components will see the full flow rate.
What are the experiences of the readers on this?
In order to understand the trade offs of series and parallel configurations, a knowledge of the the pump's flow rate at different pressures would be helpful. Has anyone found flow-rate vs. pressure curves for the pumps?
