Okay, WWHD? I am contemplating the flow in my water cooling system. These are the blocks I have...
CPU - Watercool Heatkiller 3.0
GPU - Watercool heatkiller GPU-X2 gtx285
NB - EK-NB ASUS HP
SB - Koolance CHC-36-D06
I have to run the SB in parallel with something since its only 1/4", so I figure it should be in parallel with the NB. These two I have to run in parallel, but I wonder if I should run the others in parallel or in series. If I put them in parallel, should I put some valves on the split lines so I can adjust the flow between the two main branches? I suppose a third option would be to run the CPU and GPU in parallel, but then put them back together before the NB/SB split.
Anyways, would it be better to keep the flow up rather than split it considering the 'high flow' nature of these blocks (and get the most nozzle pressure)? Or, would it be better to run them in series to make for the most flow through everything...???
What would you do?
