I assume you want to maximize the H100's cooling capabilities and wanted to cool your heavily overclocked
video card using this cooler and save a bit of money along the way? (if you would say, YES! Its good at it and
you think its performance is capable of cooling another overclocked video card by cutting one of its tube and
add a single connector to it and another tube on the other end to extend it then ill connect it to the video card
block and the other end im gonna connect it to the receiving end of the cpu block to make a 1 single CPU to
Video card loop).
Sounds a great idea! I think no one haven't tried that before and you might be the first one to do it but here's
some issues you'll surely come across when doing it, though im not discouraging you but these issues might
help you look for a better option. IMO
- The velocity and temperature of water using the stock pump wont cool your video card efficiently, specially
if you're gonna do some heavy overclocking with you processor (which i know you'll do), not to mention h100's
radiator is only around 25mm thick, even if your setup is push and pull using 4 fans i think H100's rad will
gonna have a very hard time cooling water that passes it.
- Another thing that might give you a big head ache are the size of its stock tubing and UNLESS you'll gonna
fully customize it and replace both stock tubes (sounds laborious i think) with a much larger ones and connect
it to the stock cpu block/pump, by doing that you might as well buy a new and more powerful separate pump
and a good cpu block and dump the stock one and buy an extra reservoir so you can extend its capabilities
up to the video card more efficiently. With that you wont save a lot of money and might as well buy a hi
performance radiator, pump, cpu block and gpu block so you can really maximize your water cooling set up.

At this point, why bother? might as well start from scratch.
You should look around for h50 mods. I know that a few people have tried to mod them before. Just google it.
My guess is that the pump just won't be powerful enough to handle an extra rad/res/blocks/etc. Unless you already have all of the parts lying around, do as delvryboy suggested and start from scratch.
