Proper config for a watercooling setup?

If I will be cooling a cpu, a graphics card, and a chipset, how would I go about hooking that all up? The only solution I can think of is to have a 2xY-Joints from the radiator to split off to all the three waterblocks.

So, to diagram it, it would be:
Pump -> Resevoir -> Radiator -> Y-Joint -> Y-Joint -> / -> / -> CPU Waterblock / Chipset Waterblock / Graphics Waterblock.

That's all I can think of.

Any and all help is appreciated.
 
What I'm going to be doing for right now, until I get my CPU peltier (a few months).

2gallon Res. --> Danner Mag 3 --> Y-Joint -->
Line1: Swiftech MCW-50T (w/ 80w Peltier) --> HardDrive Cooler (custom made) --> Single Line "Air Tube" Radiator --> Back to Y-Split .. (continued below) ..

Line2: Swiftech 5000P Waterblock --> I875 Chipset Cooler --> Single Line "Air Tube" Radiator --> Back to Y-Split .. (continued below) ..

Y-Split --> Radiator --> Res --> (repeat)


The question you'll need to answer is if your backpressure is going to be powerful enough to get a good flow for all three lines. If the flow is too slow, than the cooling is going to affect all three blocks.

You may want to try:
Y-Split -->
Line1: CPU block --> Mobo
Line2: GPU Block -->

As unless you're doing some serious overclocking on the FSB, you probably won't need the coolest of water flowing through it. Maybe even throw in a small 80mm Radiator inbetween the Mobo & CPU.
 
im water cooling my Nforce2 chipset My 2.2v CPU and my pelt cooled GPU...

I run
Pump>RAD>TANK>CPU>GPU>NB. I have played with diffrent ways for a long tome now, there all the same. Just get a good pump and a good size RAD, or a larger tank..you temps will be good
