Ok, I am finally going to WC my NB and GPU and get rid of those two loud fans. I was thinking a little bit today about my setup. After the whitewater there are two lines, each having 1/2 of the water as the inlet (theoretically, if my pump actually pushed the rated 350gph, each would recieve around 175gph). 175gph is most commonly found in a low flow type of setup, much like in the innovatek kits. I thought about running dual innovatek Graph-O-Matics after the whitewater to cool the video and northbridge and I cant see a reason why this wouldnt work.

What kind of restriction do these blocks have? I know they are probably very high restriction, but running them in parallel would alleviate that some.

The main reason I want to do this is cost. A Graph-O-Matic at sharka with 10mm (3/8") fittings is $28, so getting both of them is only 57 bucks. Dually dtek blocks comes out to be around 90.

Plus I prefer the anodized aluminum tops to the clear ones or the all copper ones. These blocks are also very high quality as I have heard, but nobody tests the performance characteristics of the block.
