Thanks Cathar.

I have yet to get the GPU or the NB block, but i was planning on using the new ones from www.dangerden.com. The pressre drop in those two blocks seems similiar to eachother. They can also be purchased in 1/2", but I was figuring that if i use 3/8" the flow through the NB and GPU would be a bit faster, and the coolant would be more effective. What are your thoughts? A second thought: Since the barbs are prolly 1/8" or 1/4" NPT then the water velocity would increase through the blocks regardless if I use 3/8" or 1/2" tube, so it prolly makes sense to go 1/2" the whole way. I can go either way, just would rather get some inout from the masters.
