Just a quick question, these do work with Thermochill right?
http://www.aquatuning.de/product_info.php/info/p986_Reduziernippel-G1-4-auf-G3-8-AG.html

Think they do, but I really don't trust my own memory :rolleyes: I'm taking that the face they are G3/8 to G1/4 and that it displays an O-Ring picture next to it means they use an O-Ring. Site is in German und Ich lebe in England. :confused:

Also, does DangerDen's MPC northbridge block fit the DFI P35 T2-R?

Thanks

I need to order some stuff from that German shop any ways plus I'm waiting on everything to turn up before I strip my loop again :)

I was looking for reducers a long time ago. I found some at ChilledPC.

hi mekrel.. according to their site the reducer fits the thermochill-rad,
it's also displayed as useful accessory on the page for the rad here (http://www.aquatuning.de/product_info.php/info/p1748_Thermochill-PA120-2-Dual-Radiator-G3-8.html) :up:
but i think you have to order the o-ring separately :(

not if you want to use a G1/4 coupler and attach the pump directly to the radiator. :P Or you want to use a mother of all elbow with a G1/4 fitting on one end and a barb on the other so you can curve the water without much resistance..

Or maybe he wants to run the PA120.3 off 3/8ID or 1/4ID tubing? (OP I hope your not thinking of running 1/4.)


Need to know what the application for it is first.

3/8? who uses that stuff lol. you have a point, but if none of those are what the OP wants, those EK barbs are the best IMO.

Thanks mate, I've ordered for of those and four O-Rings, as well as 5 meters of R3400.

I already have G3/8 1/2" ID barbs guys, I want the reducers as I'm switching to 3/8ID 5/8OD using BitsPower compression fittings which only come in G1/4.

Thanks for the help :)

Mekrel, I aussume you ordered 3/8" ID 5/8" OD R-3400 so I'm asking how much it cost by feet (or meter) ?

I'm also curious to know how well it bend and how easy it is to fit on the 3/8" barbs. I'm strongly considering this option for my build and USPlastic sell them for 3.09$ per feet.

Wow, I didn't realize EK was offering these. I might order a set from Petra's. I'm using a reducer from McMaster's, but it would be nice to have an all-in-one solution. :)

Hi mate,

Yes that's the tube size I've ordered from Germany (Aquatuning) and it is priced 9.99 Euro per meter.

I'll let you know when I have it :)

Not bad and I'll wait for your own experience before deciding between R-3400 and B-44-3. The current Excelon RNT tubing is already cloudy after less than 2 months of use and I'm looking at more permanent solutions :(

hi xilikon, the tygon r3400 is a black tubing, and will stay permantly black ;)

hi mekrel, if that is the fitting (http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/images/products/BP-COMPG14-38_01.jpg) you talked about, it surely will look killer!! good choice :up: maybe you can share some pics when the setup is completed? and good luck..

flexo_fk, I know it's black and that's why I considered it as a more permanent solution but the B-44-3 is a worth consideration from what I heard. My main question would be about the stiffness and ease of routing but it doesn't matter now that I ordered 10 feets of R-3400 3/8" ID 5/8" OD like Mekrel yesterday :p:

I'm dreading draining my loop, redoing the tubing and refill with my new Fuzion Pro mount, new EK NB Asus 3 block, a SF800 flowmeter and new MCR120 radiator so I decided to do it all at once ;)

He didn't take offence mate :) , must be the language barrier.

I'll post pictures once I'm done, I have a week off work this week and the barbs are coming Tuesday.

Going to be braiding my PSU this week too.

Mekrel... any update on this? I'm looking to go w/ the same setup you have (3/8" compression fittings).
