Water cooling the Asus Maximus SE X38

For those people considering compression barbs, such as those made by Koolance (which I am very partial to)...



You should note that you can only use thin-wall 1/2" tubing with their 1/2" compression fittings. You can also use 7/16" ID - 5/8" OD but it fits so snugly it will be frustrating and possibly damaging to get tightened or untightened. I really recommend 1/16" wall thickness tubing with Koolance 1/2" compression fittings which really limits your tube routing to large bends.

The 3/8" Koolance compression fittings are compatible with all 3/8" ID - 1/2" OD tubing.Cheers,-Chris.

Am I going to have a problem with my Tygon 1/2" R-3603 fitting into the EK's compression fittings on the NB block?

I see in posted that thin walled 1/2" line is better with compression fittings, or at least the koolance ones.
