Just some quick questions for my WC build

[eXceededgoku]

Need some help on my watercooling build. I have the following components

Laing D5 (1/2" barb)
Black Ice Extreme Radiator 240 (1/2" barb)
Alphacool NexXxoS XP Bold Sockel 775 (yeah I know best one I could find in stock ) (1/2" barb)
Repack Cooling Slot In Black (1/2" barb)

Basically I have these questions:
1) How much do I tighten the barbs on the components?
2) When putting the tubing over the barbs where do I place the clamp on teh barb (
clamp = <
barb = =
component = |
right at the end of it <===| or at the beginning ===<| -crude but hope you see my point-)?
3) How tight do I tighten the clamps?
Thanks if you guys can help me!

Just FYI I have already attempted at building but my pump failed and I had some leakage from it.

I put my clams after the head of the nozzle so it makes a lump going over the head, If you put the clamp (I use a worm drive) on the bump of the nozzle you could possible cut the tubing off.

you mean as in my second drawing (lol at the crudeness)

anyone help?

put the clamps on close to the component or in the middle, and tighten them as far as your hand can tighten them.

[eXceededgoku]

even if it warps teh tubing??

[eXceededgoku]

so tighten the clamp until it will tighten no more even if the tubing warps?

[eXceededgoku]

lol anybody!?

[tommrussell]

your second drawing and tighten till the band of the clamp is flush with the tubing you can feel that with your finger much tighter than that and you run the risk of cutting the tubing

Thanks a lot for your help! Can't wait to set this bad boy up
