WC: suggestion needed, good or bad

[overdoze]

Need some input or comments on this

cpu thunderbird 1.2G @1334
voodoo 2000
MB: iwill KK266
crucial ram cas 2

System is running at 149 FSB, cpu core voltage 1.97V.
WC: eheim 1250, gemini 3/8 WB, chipset WB and video WB, Balck ice extreme rad, push pull fan. The whole loop go from pump to rad to chipset, to video then to cpu.

My temp at idle: ambient 22C, chipset 26C, water temp 25C, cpu 36C

Temp at full load after 1 hr running prime95: ambient 22C chipset 26C, water temp 25C, cpu 40C.

I wonder if I Y split the line half go to cpu the other half go to chipset and video would get better temp. Since my system is 1/2 and all of the WB is 3/8 and my pump is powerfull enough to handle the split. I guess my flow rate is not good enough now. any suggestion welcome.

i may be wrong, but from what ive read ur supposed to go to ur hottest component first, which would be your cpu, then probably ur vid card, then ur chipset, that way the water is coldest when it goes to the cpu.

I tried that already the cpu temp is cooler by 2 degrees but I was not able to OC the FSB and the vidcard higher

As you already said, its best to split the lines so that you get cold water to all components. The Eheim 1250 should be powerful enough to handle a 3 way split. The only problem I see is that you'll have longer tubes going into and out of each WB, so its really a cosmetic problem.
