Think you got it wrong bro.  Here's the clear version where you can see what's happening:

Your top card has nothing connected to the exit.

 

These blocks seem like a stupid design where you have to basically run your top card in a backwards flow.

Yeah, definitely set up incorrectly. You'll need to place the top line in the right port on top. However, if you want to "save time" you could just order the parallel version of the terminal block, haha. I always recommend parallel blocks as they provide better cooling for both blocks, instead of the second block getting the first block's hot water. 


I also recommend the flow to go from GPU to CPU.

thanks, but it doesn't matter if the second card gets the first cards heat because the loop will equalize in temperature after a while. Jayztowcents made a video about that.
