Using a T Adapter

I wanted to know what anyone thinks about using a t-adapter in a liquid cooling loop. I was considering using one but have a question. Let's say you run liquid from your water tank to the pump, after the pump you split the line wit a T. One into the CPU block, the other to the GPU block..now, after that I want to bring both lines (from the output of the cpu and gpu blocks) back together again. This is where i was thinking it may be a problem??? I know you can easily split off 1 line into 2 lines, but now I want to bring 2 lines back into 1 line and run it to the radiator. Would this be a problem of any kind as you are doubling the flow and putting back into 1 tube, in effect reversing the T? Any ideas?
 
You should run in series NOT paralell dude

res - pump - rad - cpu - gpu - res

dont bother splitting it, youll do nothing but make it look messy,
 
In series yes mate thats the way it 'should be' or is 'normal'

buy splitting it all just makes it over complicated and could actualy reduce performace.

series FTW. just look at any of the project cases here and look at there flow pattern, its all series ;)
