This makes for greater overall flow, but causes lower flow in the paralel runs. By running multiple pumps/loops, you serve to increade flow rates, and also reduce pressure.
Two loops = more pressure, not less. You'd almost certainly get better results if you worked in series (pumps + CPUs). At 100w a cpu heats a modest flow system by less then a degree. With dual pumps the difference would probably be immeasureable and you'd have the benifits of extra pressure per block (due to less tube + running the radiators in parallel).
