Liquid Cooling More than One Component?

static0verdrive asks: "I am new to liquid-cooling, and I have designed a system for use in a micro-ATX OpenBSD server, with the following layout: Fillport > Reservoir/Pump > Y Split (one to CPU and the other to chip-set) > Y Reconnect > Radiator/Fan > Back to the fillport. I don't like the idea of having the hot coolant coming from the CPU going directly to the chip-set, hence the Y split. Could this split cause any problems? Would there be a difference in pressure (considering the CPU is most likely a lot hotter) that could cause an issue? How would you handle liquid-cooling more than one component? What if I wanted to cool 3 components, such as in the case where I add a video card to this setup later on?"

    sorry in advance for nagging but please refrain from naming your URLs undescriptive names such as "here" or "click".
    There are 2 problems with naming a link "here": those who use a link summary program won't know what the link is about unless they read the post - which completely defeats point of using the link summary program. Obviously, they get frustarated as hell.
    Second problem is that search engines (yes i mean google :P ) use the link title to categorize it. If you name the link properly, the search engine will index it properly and someone looking for information will find it. If people kept naming this link "here", the page would need 10 times as many links pointing to it to get indexed.
    In this post, a perfect way to name that link would be "info about liquid cooling".
