Series or Parallel for dual GPU's?

[FusionBlitzx]

Hey guys

Im doing a custom watercooling loop and I have two GPU's. My question is would a series or parallel config be better? What are the pros and cons of both setups and what is the more preferred config? My pump is a D5 if that helps and I have 3 radiators.

Thanks guys.

They both do the same job at cooling. Pick what looks best for your build.

The difference in performance is negligible. I love doing parallel when it's with an EK bridge or series when using a Bitspower Aqua Pipe Link.

Well then I guess I'm going parallel

This is as sexy as parallel gets IMO: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/17486/ex-blc-1352/EK_FC_Bridge_Dual_Parallel_3-Slot_CSQ_-_SLI_Connection_-_Acrylic_EK-FC_Bridge_DUAL_Parallel_3-Slot_CSQ_Plexi.html#blank

As far as I know parallel has less restriction.

Performance wise it doesn't matter. What parallel makes up with less restriction, it loses in flow path efficiency. What series loses with more restriction, it makes up with better flow path efficiency. I usually tell people to just visualize both methods and get the one that in there opinion makes the most sense in terms of performance.
