First, here is my current setup:
I ordered a second card and am looking to watercool it eventually, but I want to try to figure out the best way to run the loop before I do. I am thinking about getting two of these:

I will use the current setup, but add these barbs between the cards. That means the flow will be split as it enters the first vid card block, then joins back together when leaving the first block. I believe the refer to it as parallel flow.
Current loop flow comes from the pump (bottom right in the pic), to the bottom CPU barb, out the top CPU barb into the vid card WB, out the vid card block through a 90 to the mobo block, then out the mobo block through another 90 (top left of pic) to the quad rad hanging off the back of the case, into an EK res and returning to the pump through the other tubing that runs across the top of the board and down the right side.
