you're going to need 2 sets if you want to do them parallel.
Plus, its only 5 bones.

if i want to run quad sli, in parallel which connectors to use?

cant find the 5 quid versions oc connectors for those 1 slot spacing esp in 4 way sli

4 way SLI would require 3 of those sli connector kits, using the smallest of them. Bitspower has clear fittings, such as these:

http://www.frozencpu.com/products/10743/ex-tub-668/Bitspower_SLI_Crossfire_Multi-Link_Adapter_Pair_-_Matte_Black_BP-MBWP-C47.html#blank

you would use 3 and use the smallest of the links in the picture.

like this

i personally would do two in parallel in series with the next two, if that makes sense. you dont want water moving too slowly over those cores...

For the Palit/Gainward cards, this layout finder says that the Watercool and EK blocks will fit.

http://guapa5000.bplaced.net/Layout/Layout%20GTX670-2048.htm

Not sure about the AC block. The pic that AC has with the block mounted looks like it uses larger chokes than either the standard or R25 ones. It's almost always a bit a crapshoot though. Height of the components is what I'd be worried about.

my guess is the aquacomputer blocks will be better performers (if what i have heard about them is true) while personally i like the heatkiller design better (though they may have similar performance to the aquacomputer blocks if water actually goes over to the vreg area)

http://shop.watercool.de/epages/WatercooleK.sf/en_GB/?ViewObjectID=1515004
look at this link, it shows the water flow. by the design it actually flows over the vrm area. basically water crosses across the gap. and cools the other side. and the water also has a return path..
LL

the question is, does any one has a pic of the aquacomputer 670 block internals? then you can compare the heatlikker and AC block. see which one has better flow channels over to the vrm area.

even the EK one has water flow to the vrm area. find some pics of the acrylic top version and u can make out the water channels through the acrylic top. EK did it smart, they did it single layer, without the additional bridge like the AC and the Heat Killer. so the ek block will be generally slimmer then AC and heatkiller.
check this pic. LL
http://www.ekwb.com/shop/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/5e06319eda06f020e43594a9c230972d/e/k/ek-fc670-gtx---cp-1_800.jpg

im waiting for someone to buy any one of these blocks and post if they fit the eVGA 670s. especially the 4GB superclocked. then ill squeeze the trigger..


and if u compare the blocks carefully, it appears that water flows all over the ek block. compared to the heat killer, the water flows in the upper part of the block only.

which u think cools better ? appears that ek has more water flow all over..or rather a bigger channel surface area for water to pass over.. which covers mostly the whole block, judging by the black rubber o ring, the outer one..

anyone has internal pics of the aquacomputer block?
