    You're using 1 2x120 Radiator to cool your CPU as well as the 4870X2?

    Would there be any clearance issues using Bitspower Premium G1/4" High Flow 1/2" Compression Fittings with the 4870X2 EK blocks (e.g., the fittings rubbing up against the board itself)?

    Thanks.

    Well that sucks. I guess one solution it to use Bitspower rotary fittings. Back to the drawing board.

    I like it. Has anyone used Feser rotary compression (G1/4 Thread) fittings? They don't look as nice as BP fittings but I imagine they'd work and you wouldn't need an extender.

    I've got some coming today, I thought they'd be handy to have around even if i don't use them in my rebuild.

    I see the 1/2 comps won't fit (as standard) what about 3/8"?

    Yeah I reckon. Thats all on a MCR320 with High Speed Yates but thats what fan controllers are for right! I have to do more testing of the temps of the water in my loop compared to ambient to see how much heat is dumped when fully loaded.
