I am currently working on my water-cooling system. I am cooling my CPU and 2 GTX680's.
I have been doing some research and found that there are two ways to water-cool multiple video cards: Parallel and Series.
I fully understand series. The liquid enters the first card, goes through the block and exits into the second card via a VID connector. Simple.
However, Parallel has two VID connectors; or the cards are connected to each other twice.
I don't understand how this is possible. In my mind it seems like fluid would only be able to flow to the "slave" or bottom card and only partially flow to the "master" or top card.
I hope you can understand my explanation. If not heres a Link to a picture of what I am talking about:

If some one could put it into simple terms it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!!
P.S. - Is it possible to post pictures on here?
