Water-cooled Duallie's (2 cpu's), (and assuming only ONE pump to let the whole mess fit in a midtower case), which is the best way to route it?

1) routed in series? - 2nd cpu gets water warmed by 1st cpu... however flow rate is same for both...

or

2) routed in parallel? - each cpu gets cool water, BUT no guarantee flow rates are equal...

which is more important? Damfino... lets hear from the experts!
