Hi

I remember seeing a couple of days ago a thread that contained information about a brand called Evil something and they had pretty nice clamps.

Well, I would like to know where can I find "bling bling" clamps like the ones from that Evil company. I want my WC system to look as cool as possible and 0.39cent clamps are too simple.

Thanks

Iandh makes his clamps for him. You should contact evil tho and inquire about it.

God, I knew there was a trick :rofl:
Read that so fast I didnt even noticed it!
Suck nice clamps couldnt be real :rolleyes:


Go to your local bicycle shop.. :ROTF:

I'll try :rofl:

No seriously, are those 39cent the best (and only) clamps you can get on the market?
Do you recommend me clamps or zip ties?

BP Compressions... :up:

Oh yeah, those are pure smex, if you have a bunch of blocks in your loop, $7 a pair gets to be a bit much though. And if you have inlet/outlet really close together, that doesn't really help either. But, compressions are the cleanest looking and most comfortable way to ensure your system is leakproof. No smashing smaller tubing on larger fittings.:ROTF: I seriously scratched my knucles trying to get 7/16 on a 1/2 MOSFET high-flow Ek fitting one time.

1/2 ID 3/4 OD makes it impossible to use on D-Tek blocks as well as many other stuff :(

Oh yeah, major PITA to do anything after it's on. In order to take it out with a wrench, you have to take off the compression first, and then try to wrench it off.:shakes:

You can use 45 degree fittings if you really want to use D-Tek and compressions. BP makes the 90 degree, and Feser makes a 90 degree compression.:up:

I use these (http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=298&products_id=24002) myself. They are a bit tricky to install since you'll need to use a pair of pliers to open them enough to slip over the tubing but look alot better than those fugly worm-drive clamps me thinks.

$0.99 each though. They do look better than worm clamps, but say fittings are 2.50 each. That's $5.00 already for a single block. Add in those clamps and then it's $7.00. Could have just gotten a pair of compression fittings.:eek:

Where can I get a Feser 90 degree 1/2" X 3/4" compression fitting?

Gap free, tongue and groove pinch clamps from mcmaster. Last clamps you will ever switch to, but don't have the ultra mega water cooling extreme branding and mark-up.

Hey BreeSpree
BP is sold out everywhere so I think I will have to go Feser. Will they fit on the D-Tek Fuzion V2 CPU & GPU blocks? What about the EK Res.250? (I would also ask you about the BP 790i Black Freezer but it isnt out yet)

If they fit ok, I would use them on my two D-tek GPU blocks, Fuzion V2 CPU block, BP 790i Black Freezer block and my EK 250 Rev.2 Res. However, since they are curved, will they affect/restrict my flow in any way?

Please tell me is before two weeks as I will need everything ready in my house by Oct.10 and I would really like to use your clamps and save some money from compression fittings :up:
