I'm fitting a second card to my loop. I've drained the fluid, and removed the plugs from the base of the top card. Now I'm looking to fit the tubes down to the second card, but what's the easiest way? I don't want to push the bottom card downwards for fear of snapping the pci connector.

Should I remove the g1/4 port from the block by loosening the 3 screws?
 
I *Think* but don't hold me to this, people take out both cards, attach them together then put them back in as a unit, then reattach their external connectors , as then you have more give, leeway etc.

That make sense?
 
It does, but it's not how I did it.

In the end I removed the ports from the bottom card and it made it much easier... but I must've nipped the little O-rings when tightening it back on as I got a leak. :mad:

Luckilly, I had a spare block with O-rings and with a little more care I got it done second time round.

That's the way I did mine and no leaks.
No leaks anywhere to be fair, apart from the rads my whole loop is Ek stuff.
 
I think it is meant to be a new sentence.

Apart from the rads, the whole loop is EK stuff.

I read it the same way at first :)

This is how I've always done it.
