Hi guys ive read all the posts at the top and loads of others on the net but still have 2 questions.

Im buying a EK multioption 400 res for my system can I fill it from there?

Im going to use 1/2" tubing on 1/2"barbs, bu do I need to buy any clips or clamps on just push on? Which ones should I buy?

I would rec 3/8 or 7/16ID hose on 1/2 barbs. The harder it is to push on, the less you have to worry about leaks.... Also, consider the thickness of the tubing, SOME of the thicker tubing holds better shape around small radius bends, like <4".
Consider Superthane Ether:http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/product.asp?catalog_name=USPlastic&category_name=7512&product_id=8115&cookie&#37;5Ftest=1, you can get it in 10ft increments.

oh so just force the smaller tubing on, fair enough, never knew that would work.

My pump being the DDC 18W laing, should I change for the D5 Vario? I want silent cooling, doesnt have to cool my q6600 too much as its not that overclocked.

The DCC is better if u want a silent pc ;)

I'd still use clamps
