They have a new CPU cooler with 1 inlet and 3 outlets so you're supposed to run everything in paralel.

Main reason for asking is my 580 waterblcoks are Auqugrafix and they have the funky connectors. You can't really use 3 x 1 connectors very easily if at all, so I bought the connector for tri sli which is made for quad sli

It can be configured for either paralel or series but doing it in series like I prefer is a real PITA. Apparently parallet works, but Guess it works along the same principal as heat pipes??

They are right,

Parallel is the best way to maintain volume and temprature.
I pipe my commercial water heaters and chillers this way.
You just have to remeber that the header has to have eaqual lengths and fittings to maintian an even flow through out the manifold, if not one end or the other could suffer.

Theiry is that all blocks are getting the same temp as the manifold as opposed to one then the second getting the first cards gain and the third recieving the first and second cards gain. This is absolutly manditory for chiller and domestic water heating and many times when not done properly it is disasterous

Example:

When at a hotel 6 the hot water for your shower is weird, real hot then cold then hot again
When done right hanging at the Hyatt Regency your shower is solid as a rock with this proceedure being executed properly

Parallel = WIN for a multi card set up
