Thanks for the reply.
I know that a higher flow will give a better dissipation of heat.
Only problem might be that high flow is more restricting.

I tried this with my BlackIceExtreme and My D-Tek First making them parallel, let the flow run from the Dtek to the BIX, and serial, letting the flow run through both rad's at the same time.

I don't have a flow meter, but I could see that the flow was in a serial setup a lot higher.

I don't have a real large rad, so I don't know how restricting they will be.

With WC we all have a space issue, and the only large space I can think of (in most computer cases) is at the top.
So, with that in mind, How and what can we place there?

3 or 4 BIX or Dtec's would be great, with 3 to 5 fan’s sandwiched. (Also higher airflow will boost the performance, but we all want to keep the noise level down)

Any ideas?

Reason for this thread is also: no matter what good waterblock a person has, when the coolant that enters the waterblock is "to hot", the performance is not what it could be.
