Swiftech MCW50 GPU waterblock - 1/2" whoops?
I was told that this GPU waterblock uses quick connect 1/2" OD tubing.
So I head off and bought some 1/2", 13mm clear PVC tubing from the hardware shop for a trial run.
It doesn't fit the collet as mentioned in the installation manual. It seems its designed for a smaller diameter piping.
But if I take the collet out - the hose fit in quite nicely and tightly without crimping the ends inside the waterblock entrance/exit holes.
Is this safe? It does take considerable pressure to pull it out even without the locking collet.
Did I get the wrong size tubing?
