The important point is that you do NOT want devices with pelts on them sharing a loop with devices that don't!

Pelts have very high operating temps, and unless you have really amazing fluid volumes and radiator effectiveness (like verging on impossible) you will have quite high temperature coolant going through your pelt loop. If you run that high temp coolant through a non-pelt equipped device, you have a good chance that you will be HEATING it rather than cooling it! At best, you will be cooling it only marginally, possibly less than you would have gotten with a passive air cooled solution (at least on an NB that doesn't put out that much heat...)
