I'm thinking of adding a GPU cooler to my current WC loop. Which is better parallel or series? My current setup is:

Maxi-jet 100 pump to
BI Pro rad
Slit Edge WB

It's cooling a Barton 2500+ clocked @ 2.2ghz/1.7v. I can run the fan @ 7v or less & get 33* idle/40* load.

I'm thinking about going parallel with the following.

1. Y from the rad to WB & GPU block
2. Y from the WB & GPU to the res

Also, will RAMsinks (such as tweak monster) be enough to cool the RAM on a 5900? It's currently clocked @ 450/900 but I've had it up to 975. I'm not looking for higher, I just don't want to loose any.

(card is an XFX 5900nu - jumbo fan/hs on RAM & GPU)
