    Well running twin blocks would have to minimize the difference in resistance. After I picked up on the fact that running 1/8" -VS- 1/2" line, will only move your CPU temp 1 or 2 C at the most, makes me think a tad difference in flow between your two MOSFET branches, performance difference would probably be immeasurable?

    If your calculations are correct on your flow rate, and I think your RAD's thermal dissipation numbers are in the ball park, I see no problems.

    To me decent flow, quality blocks, and lot's of RAD = Good Performance.

    That has got to be the Big 3 to keep an eye on...

    We can split hairs over favorite TIM, or Fans and such, but they seem like more minor factors. (Providing your using CFM rated fans designed to be used with your rad.)

    I do want to add, our MOSFET chips are so small, I don't know if we can use a TIM on them....
