You can fit 3/8" silicone hose over 1/2" barbs. I was going to go with 1/2" silicone, but I also ordered a foot of 3/8" and the 3/8" hose is much easier to work with IMO (1/2" silicone is THICK). So, I'm going to buy some more 3/8" tubing and fit it over my 1/2" barbs because I've heard that the performance loss is minimal unless you're running an ultra high heat-load. Have fun, watercooling is like legos, lol.
