Water Cooling 102

I would like to see an article on in depth WaterCooling. Take the normal configuration of a Water Cooling setup taken from THG.


It just doesnt make sense to warm the cooling water at the CPU and split it off to other blocks in the system then get it hotter at the GPU and pass hot water on to the Voltage regulator of the GPU. Wow HOT. HOT. HOT....
Wouldn't this make better sense?


but it does pose many unanswered questions the article could address.

1.) If you have a 3/8" inlet on CPU, Does having a 1/4" line on the GPU and Voltage Regulator off the splitter cause enough restriction to cause most of the water to go through the CPU and starve the rest?
2.) How large would the incoming line have to be to supply enough water to all the splitters without starving some of them?
3.) What head pressure of the pump would be adequate to supply this without increasing the incoming line size? or if it is increased?
4.) How would you monitor all the blocks to be sure water is passing through them at all times? Monitor, Temps? Flows?
5.) So many questions, Line size? Splitters? pumps? radiators? etc.. etc...

Might make a good article... What do you think?
