warmer...colder.. colder... you're an ice cube.

NO

I am not talking about flow through the waterblock at all. What I am saying is that with equal flow through the waterblock, slower flow through multiple radiators is a GOOD THING since it allows the water more time to cool. Read the last 2 sentences in my previous post. What Im trying to convey is that your flow will increase with multiple radiators because there is less flow resistance. This will cool the waterblock better since you are relieving the biggest bottleneck of the system: the rad.

When watercooling you want 2 things:
1. High flow through the waterblock for turbulance.
2. Low flow through the rad for time to cool.

When running multiple rads in parallel you achieve this.
