i was thinking about hooking up an inline system with the CPU parallel to the MB & video water blocks (which are serial to one another). i know that T-fittings have less flow restriction straight through than they do flowing around the 90degree bend. so i thought about using the straight through connections on the T's for the CPU side & installing a ball valve on the PCU side to force some of the water through the video/MB loop. i thought going back to a straight forward series loop would be a simpler solution (no parallel flow, CPU->MB->Vid->pump->rad->""). After all, simpler = more reliability in general.

i'd like to know if this is practical & if there is some person or page out there can demonstrate a well thought out valve design.

i was also curious if anyone has shown a significant improvement in cooling with parallel config over a series config (identical single-loop systems).
