i also kinda agree that adding the numbers together is misleading. just cause the pump is pushing through 2-3x the water, does not mean each component sees those increases.

looking at the results of test one, the other options returned 1.39 to 1.48 GPM, the T3 gave the top loop 1.49 GPM and the bottom loop 1.98 GPM. so we have a 1% to 42% gains depending on component and comparison
Math: (1.49/1.48=1%) and (1.98/1.39=42%)

if possible i would post average GPM, not total (its honestly the same as saying half of the serial loop is seeing 1.39 and the other half is also seeing 1.39, and adding them together)

the T3 has the unique ability to offset some of the restriction, so your high restriction parts, do not bring down everything else in the system, that is what gives it the bonus, we should make sure we understand how to interpret that. what the GPM is at the pump does not equal what the blocks/rads will see, but that is what we care about.

for proof, i would like to see a very simple setup, where you have a high restriction cpu block, and large rad, then use the T3 to take the rad off the cpu loop and see if the temperature drops.

EDIT: lol, i posted 4 minutes to late and now look like i copied bluehaze
