First off I'd really like to express my gratification for the help I've reveived on this forum.

Goal: To cool a fast T-Bird , Gpu, & Northbridge. Above all I want a quiet computer. I have decided and purchased most of my equipment. Am waiting for a Black Ice radiator and some 3/8 barbed blocks for the Chipset and Video.

The only difference instead of a cube i am going with a black ice.

Parts: Pump=MagDrive3 350, CPU = DD MazeII, GPU/Chipset = Becooling blocks, tubing = 3/8 id vinyl, connectors = high flow from www.liquidcool.org , res = 4x4x4" res from the hardware store.

Basically the pump and res will will be in front of the case. I am still having one problem:

Which way to flow the blocks. I have three options. Please pick what way would produce highest flow through all the blocks and best temps.

1) All inline:

Res.Pump.Rad.CPU.GPU.Chipset.Res

2) Split before blocks:

Res.Pump.Rad."Split flow into flow A & flow B"

A)CPU.Res (Independent return to reservoir)
B)GPU.Chipset.Res (Independent return to reservoir)

3) Split after CPU:
Res.Pump.Rad.CPU."Split into flow A & flow B"

A) GPU.Res (Independent return to reservoir)
B) Chipset.Res (Independent return to reservoir)

Thanks again for your help.
