I decided that I want a large 1/2" (I.D.) Tube directly above the graphics card, this gives me a lot more flow, and will overall look cooler.

Also the northbridge doesn't really need water-cooling, as a nForce3 is capable of 800mhz hypertransport, but only runs at 600mhz, so there is a large margin of overclocking without the need for watercooling.
So now all I need to worry about is the 5950.

I have also expaned and re-designed the channel to 1/2" wide, and a little over 1/4" deep.
This gives more flow, and I greatly enhanced the flow over the GPU.

Then following Bladerunners design I decided to split the flow to both sides of the card.
I choose not to change the flow pattern as I want to allow a total 50/50 split of water pressure. (Rather then having the backside DDR channel shorter)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



This creates a new problem, how to split the flow up.
(The above would be ideal but impossible to seal properly)

I have thought about simply using four 90 degree fittings, and a then a flow splitter before the card, this will probably end up being the easiest to do.
