Hi guys,
I have plans to build a pretty serious SFF build over the rest of the summer and into the fall.
In my planning I skipped over a pretty glaring detail and now I need to find the solution before i invest any further.
The problem I have is that there is less than a 1/2 inch of space between the first card and the power supply so I can't put a fitting on the back of the first card.
I have 2 possible solutions in mind, and I'm not sure if either will work.
A) Is it possible to fit a 90 degree fitting or extension in between 2 cards in a single slot spacing?
This would be my ideal solution as I want to keep everything serial if possible.
B) If doing that is not possible, my only other reasonable solution is making them a parallel setup with both fittings on the second card. I would rather not do it this way, but I know I can make it fit like this if I need too.
My question is, would this type of configuration cause me any issues? Would the card in slot 1 get significantly less water?
I'm hoping at least one of these solutions works, because I had no intention of tearing apart my power supply and cutting holes in it for water cooling fittings.
BTW: I'm trying to keep the project under wraps until I have a few more parts and some more finalized plans, so I'd rather not say what case it is for now.
Thanks.
