Hi guys quick question to you WC experts please.

I have 2 of these coming today from OCUK

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-250-XS

To join together my 2 GTX 780s and I plan to use 2 bridges but was wondering would using 2 hurt the performance and should I just use a single bridge to ling the 2 cards.

I only ordered 2 because I thought it would look nicer and make it a more solid structure.

I will be fitting the SLI later today so any advice please guys as ive not water cooled SLI cards before.;)
 
One for serial, two for parallel.

*EDIT*

To expand on that, if you want the water to be split between the GPU's then use two (the block will still be filled with water its just the rate at which if flows thought will be halved) if you don't then use one (water will pass through one block then the other).

Generally speaking serial is better than parallel, parallel was something we did in the old days when we had weak pumps as it offers less restriction, that isn't really an issue with modern pumps like the D5 or DDC.

no real difference in running cards parallel or in series from what ive read, but i prefer them in series, just because it makes more sense in my head.
parallel is said to be a degree or 2 cooler, but nothing massive.

saying that though, i might grab another bridge for mine to test it out as i do always get curious lol

My pump is a Swiftech MCP655 but I have a spare pump I can add if 2 would help performance.

My CPU is also in the same loop and I have a EK quad radiator.
