That's a good point Brad, about the tubing.
Overall, you have the choice of running in parallel, or in series (one after the other).
SERIES:
pro: the flow rate will be the same across every component. (good for rad)
con: creates a lot of flow resistance. (bad for cooling)
Summary: Use a bigger pump (and tighten up everything). Temp increase from component to component is negligeable.
PARALLEL:
pro: decreases flow resistance.
con: very difficult to control flow to each component, extensive setup in splitting feed.
summary: choose
a) tune your system with a flowmeter (if you have one)
or
b) guesstimate by clamping the hose to the other components, and watching for temp differences (don't clamp the CPU feed).
