Yeah his valve was before the radiator. I see how your setup will let the radiator cool the water more, but from the various flow charts I have read once you have a large radiator with decent airflow, you will be at .015 C/W, so the blocks will be more limiting to total system performance.
Also, whatever flow gets redirected back to the res, will be taken away from the potential flow of the waterblock run. Therefore decreasing your waterblocks performance, while increasing radiator performance minimaly. IMO
