Does it matter which you use to connect 2 rads to a system??

If you're going to connect two rads into a loop, you want to use a "Y" since they have less flow restriction.

Yeah, two Y's would have less flow restriction, and therefore better performance.
How exactly are you connecting these? Running them in parallel?

Don't know yet..
I'm only cooling the cpu with water for now, getting my feet wet with only one device:p.
I've read that it is best to have them in parallel. But I cannot find "y" connectors anywhere in my area. If I decide to "parallel" it seems that I'll have to order the connectors online.
Maybe I'll try serial at first..

use "Y"
"Y" have less flow restriction then "T"
Hehehe and the reason why they have less flow restriction is because the bend is less steep in a "Y" than it is in a "T". :)
