GPU Serial vs parallel tube question

[NE0XY]

Hi,

 

So I got 2 980s that I'm going to put in my system and watercool

 

I'm going to run acrylic tube between the two cards and have some questions regarding on how they should be placed. I've drawn three possible options (that I see) of which I prefer option 2.

But, will this work?

 

I know for sure that option 1 will work since it's just a simple serial connection but option 2 should also work since the blocks are the same and therefore offer the same resistance.

Here are some quick drawings:

Option 1

Option 2

Option 3

Option 1. On the other ones it looks like the water will go straight through from one of the tubes and not through the block.

option 3 will not work because the fluid will completely avoid going through the blocks and go right through

both option 1 and 2 will work fine

jays2cents did a video on this topic and i think his setup is similar to option 2

Thanks guys, like I thought, just wanted to be sure =)

I would go with serial unless there's an obvious benefit to doing parallel.

I am running a setup with option 2. Works fine, just as Jayztwocents said.
