Well, I decided to take the plunge and get my feet wet in the water cooling world. I figured this was a good time, seeing as how I bought a pair of those low voltage 1.6ghz Xeons from the [H]ot Deals thread. I went with a setup from Danger Den consisting of:

2 - TDX waterblocks
1 - Danger Den D4 12 volt pump
1 - Black Ice Xtreme Radiator
1 - Danger Den Bay Res - the new high density polyethylene one

My question is would I be better served to use a "Y" fitting to split the coolant to each water block or should I just run them in series? I am not using a NB waterblock or a gfx block at this time, although I am going to actively cool the NB. The res has 3 fittings on it, theoretically one inlet and two outlets, but I was wondering if using a "Y" fitting to split the flow to the inlets on the cpu coolers and then running the outlet hoses separately from the blocks to the two barbs on the res as the inputs and then from res to radiator to pump back to the cpu coolers. Any thoughts on if this is an ok set-up? I'm just trying to work it all out in my head and on paper before it all gets here. Any suggestions from you guys here would be greatly appreciated! All the hardware is here, I'm just waiting on the WC stuff to get here to build it up, so I'm open to suggestions.
 
Don't bother with a Y, that will most likely lead to a more uneven temp than just having them in series will.

Ys usually work fine for GPU and chipset but if those get uneven flow its not too big a deal. CPUs on the otherhand dont tolerate that kinda thing too well. Id try running em in series and keep an eye on ur second CPUs temps.

Nice to see a drivebay res that is not a complete piece of crap finally. Looks like a decent design they have there.
