Watercooling my proc, chipset, and vid card. How should I route the water?

I just bought a innovatek cooling kit, and waterblocks for my proc, mobo, and vid card. What would be the best way to route the water in the case?

I'm thinking: radiator -> processor -> video card -> chipset

Would that work best? I figured it might since the processor produces the greatest amount of heat, and the chipset produces the least. This way the coolest liquid reaches the processor first.

Any thoughts, suggestions?
 
You got it right. If you are running an inline pump, you may want to run from the pump to the CPU waterblock with the radiator at the end of the chain. I have always had lower temps with this order. FWIW, this is what Gabe at Swiftech recommends too.
 
I dont think it will make a difference, when the system has fully warmed up. I have a koolance case with a cpu / gpu cooler and I noticed the gpu cooler added around 1degc to the system temps. mine goes cpu - gpu as its the easiest way to route the pipes from the rad.
