Watercooling 2 way SLI

[CyberFern0]

Is flow bridge needed if there is a 1 gpu slot between both cpus

@CyberFern0

If you don't use a flow bridge how do you plan to run the coolant to both GPU?

the same way I would run it with one gpu but instead of running it to the radiator I would run it to the other gpu than the radiator

Of course, unless one of the card's waterblock is 3 slots wide.

 

Actually, I don't think you can avoid using a flow bridge at all because the two "ports" on a waterblock are not designed to connect with other waterblock "ports" directly.

jayztwocents does it

You can do it using fittings or using an FC terminal such as this which is design for dual GPU's in a three gap spacing.

that's what I meant

 

2 gpus with a gpu slot between then or as u said a 3 gap spacing

Impossible. At the very least, you need a terminal block for it. Just look at 7 gamers 1 pc video. Those R9 Nanos are connected with a big terminal block.

so I need a flow bridge no matter what

 

u could look at a jayztwocents video he has 3 gpus in 3 gap spacing and no terminal block

 

I don't understand

[For Science!]

You can just use fittings and tubes like how I did in my build (see buildlog in my signature)

You can do it using fittings as said like this but it ends up being more costly.

wait I thought u need atleast one slot between the gpus for fitting cooling

 

this is even better

u used compression fittings right

No since the blocks are single slot in terms of height you can use fitting in between to sandwich the fittings and tubing. If you are planning on doing this with hardline you need hardline compression fittings but if your loop will use soft tube I would suggest to not go this route and use the FC terminal instead.

You don't need a flow bridge. You can just use fittings and a small piece of tube.

what fittings though

Compression fittings. Basically the only fittings anyone uses.

lol yeah

 

ok thanks

Either push-in or compression fittings are fine. Push-ins take less space up, compression fittings are probably more secure

but that is a flow bridge, just a janky one if done sloppily.

oh yeah who used hard tubing anyone

I never said he did guy, i was asking about his plans.

I think flow bridges look stupid. Seeing the fluid go between the GPUs looks much better
