ahahahahahahha poor victor. i also remember all the bashing done in by the mob squad. :X But it looks like it payed off. They have a very interesting non alu south bridge block with swing nozzles in 45 degree arcs. Iany and i was eyeing it thinkn it might be interesting.

however they still havent ditched the stupid alu radiator, so i wouldnt recomend anything from them besides the fittings and maybe the 5 1/4reservoir/pump housing if your willing to shell out that much cash. :X

Yeah the koolance are nice, but I like that BP's take the thicker wall, and that's comfort that I like.

Man, I hope not.....I'll have to change my sig then.:ROTF:

If given a choice between Koolance or Bitspower compression fittings, I'd take the Koolance every time. I've got a pair of G1/4" 3/8"x1/2"(came with their DDC top) and a pair of 12mm 3/8"x1/2" (came with their flow meter) here that I'm not sure I'll ever use, but they are nice to have around in any event.

not Victor . . . .

While it would be a very good step forward for Koolance and liquid cooling, I'll reserve my :up: until I see numbers. ;)

So now that Koolance is getting away from our pal AL, and nickel plating the brass, does that mean the Koolance bashing is going to end?

Haha, but didn't they say it was WAY better than copper/brass rads? :ROTF: My prediction is they do the 'Apple' type spin. I do like those fittings though... are they really $9.99 for ONE or is it a pair?

LOL... i give them a thumbs up for the migratation effort. Never said anything about dropping it in my rig.

Of course im very into numbers. But its glad to see some companys are learning from there mistakes.

@ smee, i broke my bitspower T and right angles so the WIP is on hold until i get new koolance replacements. Dont get those acrylic things. Stick with the derlin DD's.

@ Scott, yeah its pretty cheap. If you consider the price for bitspower for 1, vs these guys, its not bad.

If you guys want any better pictures let me know. I took those at night under a florescent light. I'll try to take some in the sun if you want.

I still hope the koolance factory explodes... Everything they make is just looking kinda cheap. And besides that, bitspower is more expensive so it's automaticly more pimp to have.

but afterall nice thread, will help many peeps I'm sure about that. ;)

Hey I bought a new pc3-720 about a year ago for €200, I needed a new case to so I think I got a reasonable deal all together. Though seeing air coolers have lower temps then me does hurt abit :ROTF:

Aww, they don't make 3/8" ID 5/8" OD fittings like Bitspower, that kinda bites (But hey, they got a wide selection of M12 thread compression fittings instead!)

Ahh well, their SLI bridge (that Bitspower doesn't make) connectors will work don't matter what size tubing you use, so thats still a bonus.

Yeah your kinda stuck on that department.

The closest is 3/8ID 1/2OD.

Man, i just spent another 100 on koolance fittings. Gonna play with some more of there fittings. I'll post pics this friday when they arive. I even ordered some compression fittings to play around with. I dont like the CPC QuickDisconnects.

There big and super ugly. Id rather not have quick disconnects period.

Anyhow i think im gonna get uber flamed on friday. :rofl:

Id really like to know how those coolance compression elbows are (their Swivel ones, think the only they make)

If you have to use an elbow in a tight spot (like on the bottom vid card in a tri SLI setup) I guess swivel would be useful, not to mention built in compression fitting.

that SLI bridge looks a little restrictive? why did they give it such a thin neck?
I think Koolance FTW, wont be supported till they release some decent blocks, that perform as well as they look and aren't alu.

Fittings isn't exactly a huge achievement lol.

It is however, a very large step in the right direction for them given their history, so they get a big :up: from me for this step. Mind you, the majority of the rest of their stuff is still crap though.

Yep.

Red O-ring = Silicone = No cracks for a long long time = no leaks = WIN.

I supplied Silicone O-rings with the short-lived "iandh" barbs. Unfortunately they are a bit touchy for non-captive fittings as they are considerably softer than the Buna-N type usually included with most commercial fittings. Silicone O-rings would squirt right out the side in the hands of some of the LC wrench monkeys I've encountered here and there. :p:
