the flow through one rad falls below the minimum flow rate for the rad to be efficient, then you're loosing out on some cooling.
Why?

Who "defines" what the minimum flow rate for a radiator to be efficient is? You arent going to "miss out" on any cooling. Your radiator will just cool the water closer to ambient longer. So what if the water stays in the radiator at close to ambient longer? That is a good thing in case you add more heat load. It's a buffer. You arent missing out on cooling. The water wont warm up in the rad. You are just gaining flow rate which in turn is cooling better on the chip.
