Parallel SLi cooling

[rrjwilson]

I've been cooling my SLi 8800GTXs in series and card two consistently

(few degrees hotter) because of the lower thermal transfer because of the first card heating the water (not forgetting the CPU not helping too ).

Well with my Project log up and my struggle in the public eye I gonna do this right and very soon. I use my comp every night without fail so speed is off the essence. The plan is two change my setup from Res-Pump-PA120.3-CPU-GPU1-GPU2-Res to a parallel GPU cooled loop with two rads like this Res-Pump-PA120.3-CPU-Fuzion-PA120.3-Split-GPUs-Split-Res. Now I've seen a rotary head attachment but I just need some encouraging advice about it.

Rotary Elbow adaptor G1/4 is the one I'm looking at. Its G1/4 the same as everything in my SETUP (apart from the PA120.3 which is G3/8 awkward sods). My question is to those experienced with such things as I just want to confirm the 1/2" barbs for my EK water blocks will fit into the adaptors and the adaptors will fit the EK water blocks themeselves.

Also anyone know of a similar product that will fit the PA120.3?

The elbow will work with the ek barbs... G1/4 is standard except thermochill as you know.

I saw some adapters for TC rads once but not any elbows, they were to change the thread size, you could use the thread adapter then whack an elbow in. More hassle than it's worth.

If I were you I wouldn't bother with the whole splitter thing... Water takes the path of least resistance (suppose the blocks are identical so the flow should be even)...

Thanks mate I dont think I can use an elbow on the rad anyway now after some jiggling.
