KOOLANCE FTW!! Im being serious.

WOAH!! b4 you guys start flaming me!!! Check out there new nozzles!

Koolance fittings is where im directing the FTW comment. The newer nozzles are pretty darn sweet, expecially there sli bridge and compression nozzle 13mm.

There not alu, its nickle platted brass. I guess koolance is finally learning. And there doing it pretty darn sweet.

These will fit 7/16ID 5/8OD tubing like masterkleer, or tygon.

Anyhow Bitspower, Eat your heart out:

The inside seems pretty darn good as well. The nozzle shortens as it hits the thread. Kinda like a real nozzle, not a straight pass.

Hehe... i actually can say that they made a pretty darn good product. :up:

I totally agree, the new koolance stuff isn't bad at all, I'm getting the ram-35 coolers, very sleek, no aluminum contact.

about these fittings are they sort of chamfered, so there is a smooth transition between diameters instead of a 90 degree wall?

edit: just read the post between the pics

nice! looks like they are painted black. does the color chip easily?

nickle plated.

And i wouldnt use a wrench too tight on them. But then again you dont ever want to overtighten a barb like that expecially on acrylic. :yepp:

oh btw that motherboard shot is a sneak peak at my rebuild WIP. :T Under that Supreme is an insane QX. :T

Windows Stable, not Prime Stable. Look at Vcore :D

Is this speaking from experience or just by the numbers? I have been looking for compression fittings that fit this bill.

Nice!

I like thier o-rings too, they are some sort of silicone and much more flexible. Even though I'm not a compression guy, it's nice to see some options. They make nice stuff once it's made in brass..:)

Can the SLI bridge be installed in situ (both cards already installed) or one-half put on each side of the card before installing onto the mobo?

I was just about to order a few to try out.

im gona say the voltage on the CPU is insane for that clock Nae.

i doubt cpuz is reporting the vcore correctly with a 4GHz OC

Hehehehe Koolance :)

@ meatpuppet: The product says 5/8OD, i did try and slip a masterkleer over it and it does indeed fit.

http://www.koolance.com/water-coolin...product_id=399

@Synxx: yes you can install the cards insitu. The bottom part swivles so to speak.

@Raid: i double checked it with CPU-Z 1.42 and it reported the same voltage. If its a voltage error its usually 1.1### bios settings confirmed it was booting at that voltage cuz i set it at 1.3V on my DFI. RAID you have any pics to your torcher rack? I need to rebuild mine, and andy's is too complicated. :X

@Iany: HEH yeah i did it.

I agree, the Koolance compressions are great, I've got some I'm putting in Mithril...

your artwork is simply amazing on that thing. :up:

I know everyone's dying to see what I do next. I promise I won't disappont.

/end threadjack. remember bro, I've had those compressions a long time. Nobody had to convert me about how good they are. I had them a year ago. Course, I run 3/8" 1/2"-compressions are a natural fit for that. I've always preferred them, it's just I can't use them throughout this time because of "special" problems-but you'll see why soon enough...

They look great.

Is your first video card bending?

These fittings sure look like they fit both catigories. And i dont discriminate against companys just bad parts! :P

If koolance makes good stuff, hell, its going in my system. :up:

XSPC is showing there migration also. There making some sound products. Koolance has some nice chipset blocks. Ive been talking them over with iany.

Blocks dont sit right with the pads. And if i remove the bads, some of the memory doesnt sit flat on the blocks. :shurg:

sheet of glass and sandpaper? I'm not sure, pics would help me tell you...

This coming from a man who's seriously not afraid of Dremel block surgery, though...

This "source" wouldn't be Victor....would it? Poor guy has taken quite a beating every time he shows up in here...regardless of what the OC's are. I feel bad for the guy but he does bring it on himself using the "bad" Koolance.

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.

It is about time. Seriously about time. Hmm... that might come in handy to know actually...

[THREADJACK] Real quaick NaeKuh, does your x38 report to CPU-Z the CPU frequencey incorrectly?
[/ENDTHREADJACK]

Loving these compression fittings, good to see them becoming more popular. Malik has the koolance ones in his build and they look HOT!
If i ever get enough $$$ to build a WC systems, it will most certainly have these in it :cool:

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.

great, the boards generally approve of these things, I was just about to post asking if their decent. Expect to see these guys on a nice totally parallel loop... in a few months

;)

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

Haha!!! I saw this thread and was like "ooooh dear" and then I said "NaeKuh posted this???!?!?!?" lol!!!! :rofl: :rofl: :ROTF: :rolleyes: :D

:up: for koolance compression fittings!!! They look hot! :yepp:

Does anybody know if two of these will fit on an MCW30?

P.s. Naekuh..... wheres the worklog????? :D :D

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?

That's for a pair nik.

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. ;)

uh...uhh......!!

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:

actually its a straight passway. The whole thread inlet and that narrow part you see is straight. It bulges like that because the other part swivles so you can install it instu.


And yes i ordered the right angle compression to drop on my gpu's. I dont care much about flow and temps on the gpu side. As long as its better then air and at less noise, im happy with that loop.

The cpu i added compressions on the inlet. I want more restriction, for faster velocity. This is my theory. And my RD-30 wont have issues providing headpressure. :P

But even if they are a bit more restrictive im guessing we can use it to our advantage. Expecially on the D-tek, have a double set of accelerators? :T

But as i said i'll find out when i get them on friday. :up:

And this is all theory thats poping in my head, so dont quote me on anything as fact. :P


Also to answer your block question. At first i would totally agree with you, until i saw this little guy. And it honestly quite interested me in a south bridge block.

http://www.koolance.com/water-coolin...product_id=663

Tell me what you think is wrong with it, because i have been trying to find some form of flaw in it without sucess.

I just had a look on the koolance site and they seem to be offering a copper/brass/nickel version of most blocks in their range. Good to see a step in the right direction:)
Now people might dare to put them in their loops and we might start to see some test results;)

sorry gonna be a very very dark day when i replace my EK with a Koolance cpu block.

This you better not hold your breath on. The chipset, is a different question tho.

I've seen people using the CPU-330 before on here I believe.

Their quick disconnects are pretty nice as well.

Looks good, nice high flow barbs, the bend is innovative and would probably assist in tube router from CPU > Chipset. I like it, BUT why don't koolance like showing us what's inside hmmm?

I actually really like the Chipset block.

In fact. Right now I'm on vacation.... in a warm place... :D And, whilst here the 790i mobo were released. I've been considering scrapping my whole entire previous build, to go with the 790i. And, since this block seems rather universal, I may order one, to see if I can get tri-sli setup, with WC.
Now, if they would only release the 9800GTX I'd be all set, the GX2 doesn't seem so exciting, especially after the 7950 debacle....

That's all I'm going to say, as I don't want to hijack NaeKuh's thread....

but, I'd like to say thanks for bringing it to our attention....

later,
Breezyjr

Whow, if only they would release the connectors on that as a fitting, looks like a 45degree bend, man many times you dont need or want a 90degree but need some sort of bend right off the block, res/whatever, that would help allot along with being much less restrictive. With those any block could use compressions regardless of their thread spacing.

Hmm, I wonder if more people will be using blocks like that now that the GX2 is out, most probably avoided them incase they ever wanted to do Tri SLI, but with the GX2 you cant use a 3rd, hmm.


Also, people shouldn't expect everything they make to have to be brought up to the quality of the competitors to be taken seriously, just making the rest of their parts not out of aluminum is enough, every WC company makes 1-2 kinds of items well, but usually also makes others that don't do as well as competitors who specialize in those specific parts. For now just think of them as specializing in fittings :ROTF:
