Need some help with swiftech water cooling block!!

[Manoj]

I am currently using the waterchill from Asetek.

I am thinking of using a better water block for my display card.

Swiftech MCW50-T

http://www.frozencpu.com/cgi-bin/frozencpu/ex-blc-12.html

I plan to use the same tube that I have installed now, which is 10mm for the Swiftech MCW50-T.

Can you guys check out from the link above if my 10mm tube will fit or do I have to get a convertor or something?

What is this 1/2 and 3/8 fittings? Can you help me out?

I had my friend install the water chill so I am not too good with this.

Do I need to order this as well in order to use my 10mm tube?

Ok I checked my manual and it shows 10mm outside diameter.

[OPPAINTER]

Well the swifty is made for 1/2 OD which is 12.7 mm. Your tube is way small, whats the ID?

This won't help?

3/8 is 9.525 mm so if your ID is close to that then it will work but I think your ID is to small.

Well that is what I use for the Waterchill from Asetek.

[Manoj]

For the chipset water block can I use this:

3/8" UV Reactive Leakproof Coupler (need 2)

Sorry Oppainter for being an ass.

Can you please help me out what I should do?

I am currently using the waterchill kit from Asetek.

Now I want to use the Swiftech GPU water block.

What should I order now to get everything to work.

[OPPAINTER]

All you need is the Swiftech cooler, thats it. Your Waterchill tubing will plug right into the swiftys quick connects, they both use 3/8ID 1/2OD tubing.

Really? That is great.

So I can just plug in my current 10mm tube into the Sifty quick connect and it will be okay?

Do you think I should get this?

3/8" UV Reactive Leakproof Coupler

http://www.frozencpu.com/cgi-bin/frozencpu/ex-tub-24.html

That should fit in the swiftech water block quick connect right?

The reason why I am asking is because the last time I had a leak and my display card got damaged.

This time I want to be extra careful.

[Manoj]

I got confused when I looked at the bottom of the page where it mentioned about optional fittings.

http://www.frozencpu.com/cgi-bin/frozencpu/ex-blc-12.html

[OPPAINTER]

No, the Swiftech block comes with tube inserts, just use those and your good to go.

[Manoj]

So I can cancel the following from my order.

1) 1/2" Stem to 3/8" Tube ID Hose Barb (need 2)

http://www.frozencpu.com/cgi-bin/frozencpu/ex-tub-08.html


How about these?

1) 3/8" ID Reusable Clamp (Need 4)

http://www.frozencpu.com/cgi-bin/frozencpu/ex-tub-11.html


2) 3/8" UV Reactive Leakproof Coupler (need 2)

Fixed.

Sorry for that.

[OPPAINTER]

Up to you, but you don't need any of that, all you need is this http://www.frozencpu.com/cgi-bin/frozencpu/ex-blc-12.html
And you put the tube inserts in the tube and then just push the tube in the block like I did:D

YOu have 2 radiators in your case?

How did you do that?

[OPPAINTER]

Very easy, I just replaced the 2 80mm exhaust fans with the Rads, they screwed right in, no mod to the case at all.
