There is a loss in coolant velocity in a parallel setup, causing a local loss in heat removal capacity, but since pumps having a finite ability to push fluid, parallel setups may become beneficial in many circumstances. GPU cooling is among the most typical candidates for such configurations. By minimizing the overall pressure drop in the loop, you maintain high heat removal where it counts most, the CPU, while keeping adequate heat removal capacity at the GPU's.
First off thanks a lot for involving the community in your product launch. It's a great idea and well implemented.

Second I am happy to hear a real Pro and Expert say what I've been telling people for years. There's more than one way to plumb a loop and it's crazy some of the notions people have about how water flows and closed loops operate. Even after setting up examples similar to your sandwiched rads and showing temps people still think it's less than ideal and point to linear setups as "normal" and "standard" so it's nice to see you promoting a New standard
