the bit about parallel rads was just FYI.
How do you know what your flow is? Where was it measured? Did you measure the aggregate output from the joint 1/2" line, or did you compare simultaneously the output of the two lines before they joined at the Y? I'm guessing that you really don't know how much water is flowing through your waterblock, relative to the HDs. The added resistance from the vertical lift could easily be negated by flow constriction in the WBs on the other line. I repeat, for WBs, run the lines in series, or use two pumps.
