    CPU***GFX GFX
    |******\*/
    Voltage***North
    Block*****Bridge

    I don't know where your old thread is, but I'd basically do as above, but have the GPU blocks sequential. Having a Y fitting to split flow is asking for problems - uneven flow is created, and there's always a chance that you'll end up with a spot of still water, and that'll kill stuff. So something like:
    Res 1 -> Pump 1 -> CPU -> MOSFET -> NB -> Rad -> Res 1
    Res 2 -> Pump 2 -> GPU1 -> GPU 2 -> Rad -> Res 2

    Depending on the type and position of the res, it may also be possible to have them sequentially. If one can gravity-feed to the other, it should work.

    u can basicly stick em anywhere as long as your not losing any pump pressure, and if you can fill them extremely full even that can be stopped

    Putting a radiator between the CPu and GPU's imho is just as effective and cheaper than 2 loops. But then again 2 times the stuff is fun.
