Ello...

How much of a dent on cpu cooling performance will it be to have the northbridge and graphics card watercooled as well?

I guess having the two extra blocks in the loop will reduce the flow rate without making a significant impact on the temperatures of the nb/gfx, but will that cause a significant reduction in the cpu cooling?

Will this mean I'll get better performance having a dedicated watercooling setup for just the CPU, having the northbridge/gfx passively/air cooled, or will i not notice a drop in cpu cooling performance having a northbridge and graphics block?

Sorry if this doesn't make sense, hard to explain what i mean

Cheers,

Telkman
