Nothing against them, but I would suggest keeping the whole system in 1/2" ID. When you say that the innovatek blocks are 8mm, is that ID or OD.
A thought for you. Two 8mm ID hoses is more restrictive than a single 1/2"ID hose. If it's OD, then they are a LOT more restrictive.

Yes. I already scrounged the innovatek's from my friend's spare parts closet (freebies). My plan (in case I didn't clearly explain it before) is to run 1/2" ID from the pump outlet into the center of the CPU block. From there, the two tubes coming from the CPU block will be 3/8" ID. I found barbs that I can adapt slightly to replace the stock innovatek barbs (which are designed to work with 8mm ID by 1mm wall hose) with 3/8" barbs. The two outflows from the innovatek blocks will run into a custom built wye fitting that smoothly combines the flow of two 3/8" lines into one 1/2" line.
I know this is more restrictive than running all the blocks in series with 1/2", but I'm sure I would lose a lot by dropping the 1/2" to 3/8" to make it into and out of the innovatek blocks. I don't feel like buying or making new chipset/GPU blocks at the moment, so I'm hoping this solution will work.
Advice? Suggestions?
