After some searching through Festo catalog I found push in fitting that are usefull for bigger flow than those 8mm OD the some of german blocks use.
These are 12mm OD 1/4" thread, and the pneumatic hose I use now is 12mm OD and 10mm ID so the flow is not that lower than with 1/2" hoses (12mmID). They are wonderfull very easy to work with just push the hose in the fiiting and you're done. But this hose is very hard so it doesn't bend to much so I have to use 90° fittings for turns. But for now I just use it in blocks section then go back to 1/2" silicon hose for radiator and pump connection.
Also here you can see my dual Maxy-Jets pump in action, I get a lot better flow than with Eheim 1250 plus they are a lot smaller, my system is now even more optimized 0.7m of hoses in total so the temp remain the same, or they are actuly even better since I tighten the cpu block even more, (I'm at 49°C with axp at 1.97GHz @ 2.15V water temp 25°C full load - internal diode reading of course) . So now only my new Gigabyte waterblock is missing, which is already designed
So this is how it looks now.
