Parallel vs Serial Watercooling ?

What is better for a single pump?

Cooling CPU and SLI

I googled and came up with this: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/274855-29-experimental-radiator-build

(see page 5 for his results)

But there is information all over as I have seen this question asked quite a bit.

You'll have half of the flow going to CPU vs. GPUS assuming equal restriction in parallel. Unless you have some sort of flow control, the flow to each will be hard to predict.

My subjective opinion is have all in serial, with a radiator before the CPU, and a second radiator before the GPU's. Probably 2x 240's or 1x 360 and 1x 240 for SLI. Wattage use on the GPUs is likely to be more than the CPU depending on what you got and overclocks.

Thanks i was thinking of going Serial for the flow rate seeing i only have 1 pump, Ill be adding a 240mm rad to the top of my case.
