nice thread ya got going here, i thought i'd throw a little something into the mix. while you are talking about dual pumps, i came across some interesting heater cores:
I have been curious how these would do, specially the one with dual outlets. I picture res->5/8ID->pump->5/8ID->radIN->rad1OUT 1/2ID->cpu->1/2ID->res & rad2out 3/8ID->gpu->nb->3/8ID->res
this would provide higher flow thru cpu where its needed, and less thru the chips. also only the nb would be getting second hand water. i'm not sure where you'd put a second pump in this setup. why are you wanting 2 pumps anyway? are those the only ones available there and you don't feel one would be enough?
peace.
