Cooling basics

[rsb123]

Hello, i have a Asus A8n-Sli with and Athlon FX-55 and two Evga Geforce 6800 Ultra in SLI.
I want to use water cooling so i bougth a Coolermaster ALC-U01 .
This comes with a water block for the CPU, i looked in the Coolermaster webpage because i wanted to cool my two video cards also, but i dosent say anywhere if the system is capable of coolong al three things. So that would be my first question.
I went ahead an bought two Coolermaster Water block for vga geforce 6 model # rl-vnc-cnu1. anyways.
So the second question is , supposing that the alc-u01 can handle all, what would be the correct way to conect it all?.
Would it be CPU-VGA1-VGA2?
Also how does the tubing go? is it output from the alc-u01 to input of the firt watre block and then the otput of that same water block is used to supply water to the second input of the second water block and so on.
Or do i use a T fitting and install from the output of the alc-u01 to all the inputs of the water blocks.
thanks a lot for any help
bye

You're going to need to think about the loop. the VGA cards you have create a lot of heat that will be transferred to the loop.
How big is the radiator? A single radiator will cool all three devices decently but won't be amazing. If I was you, I would upgrade the radiator to a BIX II at the very least.
The pump may or may not be able to handle the increased resistance of the 2 GPU blocks. I can't seem to find any information on that case, so I'm speaking from universal knowledge.
Its best to run everything inline. Running T-lines ruin flow rate (which you might not even have because I don't have specs on the pump in your system).
The loop should looking like something like this: Pump - Radiator - CPU - GPU - GPU - Reservoir (if there is one) - Pump.
