BP 90's between MOSFET and CPU blocks

[sanhacker]

I've received several PM's from people requesting photos of how to connect MOSFET and CPU blocks using BP 90's. You know who you are... :)

This image shows a Koolance MOSFET block, MVR-40, on top of the EK block. You can see just how much smaller the Koolance block is in comparison.

For the vertical MOSFET to CPU link I had to use a third 90 degree fitting. This is mainly due to the height difference between the MOSFET and CPU blocks.

Coupling two 90's together left the connection between the two MOSFET blocks just a tad short. You can see the black washer I had to use between the 90 degree connections on the bottom coupling. This gave me just the right distance to prevent cross threading.

And a few other angles for those interested...

Awesome thanks! :up: I had just one connection to make with this and that was from the CPU (D-Tek Fuzion V1) to the EK MOSFET block. Reason being I could not use a 1/2" X 3/4" compression fitting due to space and using a BP 45 rotary made the tube go overboard on the angle to get the tube on without kinking. So this seems to be an effective strategy and will order 4 or 5 of those rotary 90's to see what I can do with them. You can see it in the pic here. I stuck a regular barb in the CPU block and you can see the empty compression under the top hose on the MOSFET.

That is one expensive 3" of tubing... ;)

Yup when you go the BP route it's expensive. I am averaging about $35 per tube with both hook ups. It adds up fast! I have several hundred dollars in fittings alone.

very nice. i have the MIPS mosfet blocks but i'll give it a try hope that distance between the holes on the blocks is the same. 10x a lot for sharing this.:up:

My mips block does not work with bitspower fittings because of the short threads..

[ibm390s]

did you use those spacers or only the BP fittings? i have some 3/8 BP fittings and for me they work just well.

I have tried both. With the spacer, it's weenie feet don't touch the floor :)

Without the spacer, it doesn't go down far enough to make sure the O-Ring is pressed firmly down.

Just by specing your block by eye, I believe the delrin is thicker than the standard metal top.

hmm, i measure the parts a.s.a.p and i'll keep ypu updated.

well there was no need for these mips spacers with bp fittings, the threads are short enough.
i haven't mounted em on my mips blocks:

I have a feeling the delrin is slightly thicker than the copper/brushed tops.

eddie just found a full metal mosfet block from mips and it's a perfect fit also. removed the oring and mounted the fitting. you will be able to see in the pics that the fitting fits well without the oring so when the oring is on it will get you a waterproof seal. You can dissasemble the waterblock and do the same test as i did. the metal plate is 5.80mm thick the delrin is 6mm thick

mh, I used none of the spacers on my ram freezer too and this one has a copper top.
The BP threads are shorter than the normal ones I think.
BP ones: ~5mm and normal higflow ones: ~8mm
I tested it ago, it's quite impossible to use the spacers with BP fittings (doesnt matter if copper/delrin) but I need em for my normal highflow barbs.

that's what I was thinking.
