Going sli in a bit and from what i've read it doesn't matter too much how you hook the cards up.

Now I WAS going to go serial, because my brain understands that in the end, the loop will equilibrate and yeh they may not be the exact same temperature, but that hardly matters anyway.

In fact, parallel seemed a bit dodgy, in that you can't guarantee equal flow across the cards...

HOWEVER, I am now thinking of putting the second card in the very last PCI-E slot and going parallel with Bitspower crystal links:)

Spanning a greater distance AND filled with the aurora pearlescent coolant I think this will look really cool.

So to summarise, parallel vs serial, thoughts and experiences please
