Again, the flow rate is the same at any point in the entire rig. The velocity and pressure is different, but it depends on each component. Each part will react differently to the flow rate, where some will turn the flow rate into a high speed, high pressure point, and vice versa. The total of those restrictions will dictate what the pump output will be.
There is no kind of loss of flow/speed/pressure because of the order of the components. The only difference is the coolant temp. As a general rule, I've always said that the rad exit should feed the waterblock. Anything else is irrelevant.
But I sure would like to be able to explain airspirit's results...
