i bought the XSPC res top from performance-pcs with the koolance compression fittings, i selected the 1/2" version but the tubing i have feser 1/2" OD 3/4" does not fit, based on what i have seen should the 1/2" one fits.

on this page its the first koolance option in the fittings spot, did i just assume wrong with OD diameter or what

They are 1/2" (13mm) ID, 5/8" (16mm) OD, so they probably will not fit the feser tubing. You may need to do the BP's if you want the Feser tubing.

+1 for BP, they looks more badass in real life.

i would go bitspower but they are a bit to costly for me right now, 10 bucks each, i'll stick with koolance if they have 3/4" OD ones.

Koolance does have 3/4" OD compression I think they're like $12 a pair at Performance PCs.

I see they also have connectors for like tri-sli, are they adjustable at all for if the cards arn't an exact measurment or am i going to have to look to another company for that?

They aren't adjustable currently, so you might need to be careful. The most confounding factor tends to be the blocks being used, they are designed to work with ours, so they may not fit with thicker blocks.

You can check out my worklog if you want to see how Koolance compression fittings look and how the CF connectors work.
