Hi everyone!
I want 2 video cards, the chipset, and a hard drive on one loop using a 1/2" ID barbs. But, the video card blocks must either be the Cool-Matic NV40s, which have 1/4" IDs, or the DD NV78s with 1/2" ID barbs. Unfortunatly, I don't think I'll be able to fit the NV78s in correctly since I have a sound card installed like this:
---Video Card------
---Empty PCI Slot--
---Sound Card-----
---Video Card------
---Empty PCI Slot--
The screws run through the blocks and into the PCI slot space above the bottom video card. So is it possible (and wise) to grind down the size of those screws so that I could fit my sound card into that slot? Basically, getting rid of the spring.
Here's a pic of blocks
Here's a pic of my motherboard
I guess the other option (the delimma) is to use 1/2" to 1/4" reducers when the loop reaches that spot in the loop and another reducer after leaving the video card blocks. If this is the better choice, should I use a Y-Fitting when I reach the video cards and another Y-Fitting (?) after the video cards?
