Water cooling sli

[littlepigboy5]

Hello,

I am going to be watercooling 2 gtx 980s in sli on an asus maximus vii hero in the top 2 slots.  Could somebody link me to an appropriate sli bridge for my setup.  I am going to be using 1/2 3/4 inch tubing if that matters.  Also, how many compression fitting would i need for them with the sli bridge.  would it be one for intake then the sli bridge then one for out take on the second card, or would i need 4 for each intake and outtake.

Thanks

You don't water cool an sli bridge...

I think they mean a bridge between the cards.

You can get a 3-slot dual GPU bridge from EK in either a serial or parallel config which only requires one fitting for the in and one fitting for the out. 

 

These will work with the Hero VII but you can double-check the compatibility on the EK website.

 

Serial: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/16696/ex-blc-1185/EK_FC_Bridge_Dual_Serial_3-Slot_CSQ_-_SLI_Connection_-_Acetal_EK-FC_Bridge_DUAL_Serial_3-Slot_CSQ.html#blank

 

Parallel: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/16697/ex-blc-1186/EK_FC_Bridge_Dual_Parallel_3-Slot_CSQ_-_SLI_Connection_-_Acetal_EK-FC_Bridge_DUAL_Parallel_3-Slot_CSQ.html#blank'

 

Temp/performance difference between serial and parallel is negligible, get the one that makes the most sense in your head. Serial is recommended for 2 GPU's.

How would i install something like this, do i need any fitting or extra tubing for it or does it come with everything i need

You just need two compression or bard fitting with G1/4 threads. One for the in, one for the out. Every EK waterblock comes with the bridge link you need for it to attach to the FC-bridge included (check this to be sure). Otherwise you need to buy these: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/24673/ex-blc-1749/EK_FC_Bridge_Link_CSQ_-_Acetal_TOP_Acetal_-_FC_Link_Sys.html#blank

so a compression leads into the bridge then the birdge distributes the water to both cards then i need a compression for the out of the bridge?

Yes, precisely.
