7. the most temperature critical Chipset a Block Video Cooling System Block Radiator Pump Reservoir Video CPU Block Block Parallel Loops Parallel loops are normally used to help accommodate water blocks with significantly disproportionate flow restriction They can become quite complicated and if not well planned may lower performance through added bottlenecks and pressure drop One suggestion for parallel loops is to reduce tubing size when splitting Ideally the hose area going into the splitter will be roughly equal to or slightly lower than the combined hose area coming out For example 3 8 10mm tubing split into two 3 8 10mm paths would lose more pressure than splitting from 3 8 10mm into two or three 1 4 6mm paths If you are considering a parallel flow path we would encourage you to experiment with different setups There may be more optimal configurations than the example shown below Cooling System Radiator Pump Reservoir 0 Q op Splitter 6mm RAM Block roe mm om es HD oc Block 12 Installation Disconnecting Hoses Nozzles are designed to attach tightly If you need to remove a hose for any reason it may not pull off easily even after unscrewing the compression fitting Usually a connection will come free by squeezing the hose on top of the nozzle and twisting pulling away If this fails cutting a small incision lengthwise parall
