I'm late to this party...but I hope someone can help me. Eager to build my own brickless S4M with a Zotac 2070 Super mini: Where can you get this custom IO bracket? Does someone actually make them? Are there some specs for how to fabricate one?

In 5 years, I hope I will be able to buy one of these form factors off the shelf.

This is a good breakdown, and actually answers my question: https://www.ekwb.com/blog/parallel-vs-serial-loop-why-choose-one-over-the-other/

Key words being "pretty much." But definitely not the same. The whole point of a cooler is to take heat away from the chip and dump it in the radiator where it exits by transferring into air. The temperature of the coolant must, by definition and by design, be cooled upon exiting the radiator...

The only other way to do it is to do it in parallel, with the coolant splitting, going to the GPU and CPU, then returning together to enter the radiator. But. in a case this small, it might not be possible. It might also not make much of a difference, so I was asking whether it really mattered.

So the GPU and CPU are being cooled in sequence? Is this a good idea? The hot water from one will flow into the other. How well does a custom loop perform like this?
