So I installed both of my Fury X's today and I encountered something I didn't anticipate:

The PCB is so short the tubing from the lower part of the block won't fit past the GPU power connectors :rolleyes:

What would be the best solution to this? There is an outlet at the base of the block, but there is not enough room to fit a 90 degree fitting to it. I have some 45 degree fittings so I guess I just angle the tubing away from the connectors. Or use two 90 degree ones to move it down and under the cables.
 
Maybe this will help - EK 90 degree and then another 90 degree attached to run the tube below the power. I put two of mine together and measured approx 4.5cm drop from top to bottom. It will be a tight bend, but if you are using a DDC, that should help with the flow restriction.
 
If the 45 degree approach fail, maybe you could use the original fitting blocks and use an acrylic bridge?

something like that:

Thanks, all good suggestions! I'll try the 45 degree one first as I already have a few of these. I think perhaps that dual 45 EK connector is better than using the two 90 degrees as it's a less extreme bend. The acrylic bridge will work but it's a last resort as I would need to buy more parts.
