Water block help!

I'm in the middle of doing a project and I need help finding a particular full cover water block!

As you guys know most full cover water blocks have the barbs in this orientation:

I however need a block with this orientation:

Ideally a block for either a R290, GTX780 or a 7990...

Could you perhaps get away with using one or two 90 fittings to get them angled out like that?

The CSQ blocks have the inlets ontop (when the link is attached, otherwise they're on the sides)

So I can use a CSQ block and put the barbs on the side?

There is literally no room

These pictures should help.
Without attaching the link the G1/4 threads are side mounted, when the link is attached they're at the top (what you want)

That might be too thick to use

They don't go any further out than 2 slots, the picture makes it look super thick.

Looks like XSPC blocks offer what you want

Nope, the XSPC are also too thick... they litrally have to be like this

Or a very slow profile core only block...

Lol, i'm curious what you're doing now, if 5.4mm thickness is too thick what are you doing!

Fully water cooling inside a Lian Li Q25B

240mm radiator is going in the bottom so with a 12mm slip stream fan only leaves a little room for a barb

All I can think of that would give that orientation for your connectors would be a universal GPU block, something like the EK VGA Supremacy.
