I don't see it as a no brainer, if the pump can handle the restriction and maintain flowrate whats the problem?. parallel you're halfing the flow & pressure straight off. Will the CPU block perform better with half (depending on restriction of the 2 loops, the more restrictive the GPU/NB the more flow the CPU gets) 'half the flow/pressure' or 'thr restriction of series'. the temp difference is gonna be miniscule at those flowspeeds!...

Ask any dual CPU mobo owner if they run their CPU's in parallel...

I'd probly have a Y splitting the flow after the CPU if the GPU&NB were too restrictive, have the GPU&NB on one flow and leave the other open to keep system/CPU~flow/pressure up, then rejoin them before the rad(s). you won't get anything like optimum cooling for the GPU&NB but they don't need it...

Or maybe split the flow after the CPU so that one goes to the GPU and the other to the NB, then rejoin them before the rad(s) see which works best...
