You are right about "pressure gradient" (I guess, I'm not native speaking English)
For mee its all the same. The force that you need tho push the water through the tubes, rad and waterblocks
If you split the hose, thsi force will be split also. This force is needed to create a good jet. A better jet will give better temps!
simply use restrictive GPU blocks...........................

You dont really understand flow, eh?
Its not like splitting the flow through two blocks means each block gets half the flow it got before. Each block (assuming the blocks offer the same flow resistance) gets MORE than half of what a single block would get before, and depending on the flow resistances, more than the total flow through two blocks in series!
