...or with using lower resistance blocks....
However, the waterblocks with lower resistance from other manufacturers are not as effective and good looking as the Titan/780 blocks from Aqua Computer.
I myself operate two GTX 570 (SLI) with waterblocks in a parallel loop setting for nearly two years now and have no problems at all.
I think it is exaggerated, prejudice and almost superstition to believe that a parallel flow arrangement is not as save as an assembly in series.
