Im building my second watercooled PC, my first had only the cpu cooled, and now im going to cool the gpu as well, so here are my specs and my questions:

Spec: AMD XP2800, ATI 9500 Pro, Swiftech MCV462UH cpu cooler, Maze 4 Gpu cooler, Hydor L30 Pump, D-tek pro radiator, bay tank with 2 inlets and 2 outlets.

My questions:

1. Should i split the radiator outlet line with a Y-connector and chill both the cpu and gpu at the same time, with 2 separate inlets going to the bay tank?

2. Or should i cool the gpu with the warm cpu outlet water in the same loop, and have only one inlet to the tank?

What would be the best to do? Question 1 or 2?

Thanks
