Hello Rog'ers
I'm a proud owner of a Maximus V formula motherboard (love it) and I installed the EK waterblocks on them. I use the 1/2'' fittings on them also from EK. Previously, when I had my GTX 680 (reference), the card wouldn't fit in the top slot because it bumps into the fittings, so i placed it in the 2nd red slot instead. Which worked fine FYI.
Since yesterday, I sold my GTX 680, and today I ordered 2 new Asus 7970 DC2 top graphic cards.
I know they are triple slot, no worries about that. As I will be installing waterblocks on them aswell. Do keep in mind though, I want to keep the backplate on it.
Additional info: I will be using an EK Crossfire bridge for getting the water through both blocks.
Now my questions is: Will it fit? I mean, the chipset is slightly above the bottom card, and im not 100% sure if the backplate can stay on the card and i'm also dunno how to do the routing from the crossfire bridge to the chipset.
So here i am, humbly asking of the community to help me out on this one.
If you manage to solve this, also tell me which EK fittings (and or adaptors) you used. Because I really want to keep cooling my motherboard as it looks pretty neat.
Included is a picture to see my current sticky situation:
Thank you for any help in advance! I really want to order my blocks really soon, so the faster the help, the happier i will be!
Depending on how valuable the info is haha.
