I'd leave the blocks in series, but I'd feed the CPU block first. Alternatively, you could run the blocks in parallel too, and clamp down the feed to the GPU, so that the CPU block gets more flow, because it needs it more than the GPU, and because it's more restrictive, so you have to compensate for that that way.
Yeah give credit where credit is due. Good fix VIPER.

Anyhow, what were your testing results? It seems like the combo parallel/serial would work best....logically, but logic doesn't always reflect practical application. One reason I'm asking is because I'm thinking about adding another RAD and eventually a GPU and chipset block. So I'm curious what configuration you have the most success with.

257 gph is pretty shit hot for a water block, but I think that the amount that the CPU would heat up the water would be considerable enough that it would be a better idea to go to the GPU first.

If you need any help documenting and/or graphing your resuls email me at the [Hard]10 . I'll be glad to help.
