I might be able to start buying WC parts soon for my first setup. I have most of the system figured out but I'm still a little stuck on cooling the northbridge and southbridge chips. My southbridge is nicely stuck under my bulky 8800GTS and I'm not sure I'm going to WC the video card so atm the bulky heatsink will be staying. The only water block that I can find that will fit in that tight area only takes 1/4" tubing and I'm planning on using 3/8". The northbridge block seems to be the same size and shape as the southbridge block, so how will it affect flow / performance going from 3/8" in and out of the CPU then to a splitter where it goes to 1/4" in to both NB and SB chips, then back out to another splitter where it returns to 3/8". If I keep the lengths of all the 1/4" tubes about the same and since the blocks are the same size then there should be no flow stalling in either block, correct?
