Just got in 2 water blocks for my GTX 470 but I am not sure if serial or parallel connection is the best way. Do I use 2x sli fitting and make it parallel, or just 1 and make it serial/

for GPU ALWAYS go series. of all the systems i have built only one didnt follow that rule and it was a highly specialized system
gabe @ swiftech said:Finally, note 3 is of particular interest within the framework of this study, because it shows that even at the GPU level, a parallel setup with modern blocks such as those presented here remains a superior solution to serial, as evidenced by a 0.6°C advantage of parallel over serial.
curious about that myself. I would imagine you connect the blocks to the cards, then connect the cards to each other. you would have to have them sitting on edge on a paper towel or something, then connect them. then very slowly move it to the mobo? I am not sure how much vertical give the cards have when in the slot but i would be leery of adjusting it like that once it is in there.ok serial it is. I just got one question: how do the guys who has water blocks and sli/crossfire fitting handle putting 3 or even 4 cards in the system? It seems reinstalling 2 video cards with the fitting would be a challenge, especially with a touchy tool-less pci mounting on some cases like my k62. My case gives me a hard time mounting a dual slot video card, putting 2 cards with 4 slots total would require some luck.
