Hi,
Going to be integrating single EVGA GTX1080 FE with EKWB block into existing waterloop.
Option 1
Partly for purposes of aesthetics I'd like to set loop as shown below. Note no plugs used on GPU block.
What concerns me is - will I have an issue with GPU cooling and water flow by not plugging two of the 4 ports, as I'm effectively setting up a "pass thru" (??) by piping the flow through GPU block directly to inflow of CPU, then from CPU out to GPU and directly onwards to RAD 480. Will I be preventing flow moving through the GPU block, with effectively any fluid sitting static within the block, by having 2 flows, each using both ports? Hope this makes sense???
Option 2
I could use plugs so as to use only 2 of the 4 GPU block ports, but I dont think it will look as nice.
Grateful for advice, thoughts. Thanks very much.
