Serious problem with tube bending and question about loop order

I have a major issue due to how close all 3 blocks are in my system (MOSFET/VRM block, CPU block, and GPU block). Originally, my plan was to go from MOSFET to CPU to GPU block.

The problem is that no matter what I do, either cutting different lengths of tubing (I've already wasted a foot and a half of tubing) or to swap from straight fittings to 45 degree fittings, I cannot get a piece of tubing connected from the MOSFET to the CPU block without kinking or bending in the middle. So after 15 minutes of tinkering, the only way I've been able to set it up so that the tubing is able to connect AND not kink or bend is shown in this picture. As you can see, the fittings are all very close to one another.


However, this causes the problem that the water would flow from CPU (the left fitting with no tube would be the entrance point of the water) to GPU to MOSFET (the tubing right next to the right fitting is where the water would exit this 3 block loop). How much of a problem would these be for my temps and stability (considering I will be highly overclocking the 3930k which on this board makes the VRMs run quite hot)?

The only other thing I can think of is to use anti-kink coils, which I really, REALLY, REALLY don't want to use.

Below are some alternate setups I tried, to no avail. In this one, you can clearly see the kink in the middle.


Let's try the other side of the VRM block. Nope same thing. Although it's not clearly kinked, you can see by my fingers that the tubing is compressed in the middle aka on the verge of kinking.


Same setup as previous picture, just with longer tubing. Made no difference.


This is the ONLY setup that would work (empty fitting on the VRM block is where the water enters, empty fitting on the GPU block is where it exits) , but it requires an anti-kink coil.


I will greatly appreciate any input on this because I'm at a loss for what to do.

Believe me, that's the very the first thing I thought of. But the install notes state "the G1/4 port nearest to the center of the water block MUST BE USED AS THE INLET PORT."

I may have to break down and do that, which would make the last picture a viable setup.

What other fittings could even work here?

These two seem like the most realistic choices.

This one is ArkAngel's idea.


Chemist's idea.


I think I may have to do the 2nd one as it maintains the in/out flow from left to right on all the blocks - the heatkiller block's notes mention that to get the best GPU temp, port closest to the slot bracket should be an inlet. Of course, this would mean having to get 2 90 degree fittings. Probably either the Bitspower one (not the elbow one) or Enzotech.
