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.
 
Just do parallel, it's not going to make any appreciable difference. If anything, it'll make the temps more even across the GPU's.
