What are O-rings, how do they protect better against leakage?

What are those bars ppl are talking about?

sorry for new newbie questions, i'll be setting up my first watercooled system and want to learn the lingo and how everything works. BTW, the spir@l is huge!

Need tests!!

thanks
O rings are a rubber round gasket. They work very well. In fact i just changed the water pump on my Honda Accord and it uses an O ring to seal it. If it works for cars water pumps it will work for computer water blocks.

those bars I assume are barbs, which is what the hose connect to on the waterblock.

I think all the new Spirals have the DTEK logo on them. You maybe able to get a plain top through Fixittt though.
