OK, Bladerunner: you win.

Let's hope it doesn't limit the cooling capacity for the core.

With 6 mm ID tube you have (only) 28.26 mm². You want the main flow over the videochip, say 18 mm². With those two channels each 2 mm wide, they should be 4.5 mm deep. (How deep are they?)
You can also try limiting the flow in the back channel with an inset(? plug?) inside the channel, to adjust the width to (in this situation) 10/3.2=3.2 mm, forcing the main flow to the front channel.

You almost wish you had a (very expensive) flow simulation program available in these situations. (In this Dutch topic http://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/...sages/478776/1 you'll find a lot of beautiful flow simulation pictures).
