Hi,
I just installed 2 EK full-cover waterblocks with a serial sli bridge on two EVGA 680 FTW+ cards. Everything seems fine except that my top card's idle temp is 50 C and my bottom card's idle temp is 19 C. I wonder if I did something wrong? I don't know why there's a big temp difference.
Any advice and suggestions is much appreciated!

    Nevermind. Stupid me didn't read the directions right and hooked it up in parallel instead of serial which blocked off the coolant to the top card. Glad I didn't damage the card. DOOOHH
