yes, it does. I'm not sure we're on the same page....
He has a Y in his line. The water could go either way, or SOME combination of the two. The more water that goes to the HDs, the less that can go to the CPU... thus, the higher the CPU temps.

And what do you mean about kinking the line and what not? I don't see where that came into the conversation.

I brought it into the conversation. I can do that.
I'm just saying it could happen, depending on how radically the pipes bend w/in your PC. If the water can easily divert to the open pipe, there will be nothing to hold the CPU line open... Normally, if you close off a line in the circuit, the pump will strain and make noise. Maybe you can correct the problem in time. With your setup, you'd never notice a problem. (absent an accurate temp guage)
whatever.. that's just the worst case scenario. Bottom line is this: Your temps are quite shittie, period. The fact that your system isn't that bad 'considering' is irrelevant.... kind of like saying.. "hey, my truck engine is only 500 degrees hotter than it should be. Not bad considering I'm cooling it with a bag of ice on the engine block." If you want appropriate temps, get the right equipment.
