it looks like flow to each gpu is parallel within the block... Interesting

thanks for this mate

It depends how you connect the block to your loop since it has three threads ;)

I cant see it from that pic... but its enough to satisfy me that my idea to mount the card opened out will work with a custom top :up:

Seems that there should be an inner O-ring to limit the water to the channels provided rather than shorting across the delrin. :hmm:

Path of least resistance, Joe.

The amount of water that would 'short' across the delrin surface would be so minute that it would be inconsequential. That vast majority will cruise though the channels.

True, and the "short" would be relative to the restriction of the channels.
I also understand that a minimum of machining equals a lower cost passed on to the end-user.
I'm just looking at maximum efficiency rather than ease of machining.

well would it be safe to assume that machining on delrin is cheaper than machining on copper? well cheaper blocks is good...
