For a 3 way GTX 970 Setup? 3 cards are together with 2 slot spacing. Which terminals do i need?

any of these should be fine, I'd invest in some silicone sealant too though as when i fitted mine, it was a pain to get the seals in.

Thanks dockie. Do i need any special fittings?

~Dockie · 1 Jan 2015 at 03:28

Shouldn't do, just the inlet/outlet fittings. IIRC they come with a few blank fittings.

Next question. Better cooling? Serial or Parallel?

Just to be sure, can you tell me what motherboard you're using?

Negligible, the advantage of parrallel is that it reduces restriction at the cost of lowering flow rate at the gpu's... I run parrallel personally and get ~40C gpu temps (tri titans)

If your CPU is in the same loop then it means higher flow at the cpu which is definitely a good thing

Fantastic! I can then confirm you that the triple terminal is the one you need in any flavor (serial or parallel) you like

Luc,

Do I need to order any special fittings for it?

Any G1/4 fitting will work on it
