Putting block in series increases flow resistance so putting them in parallel is probably the best.

With a 1250 pump I'm willing to bet this is marginal. When I added a 1/2 inch GPU block to my otherwise identical setup, I saw no difference in CPU temps at all. As best I can tell that pump is limited enough by the Maze2 that the small amount of addtional resistance from an open block is easily overcome.
How much of the flow would you need to even give the chipset? Maybe 20% total? Thats 20% less for the CPU then. In serial there is no way one block will reduce loop-wide flow by 20%. Not to mention in serial the chipset itself is cooled better due to higher flow.
