Pro/Forums - View Single Post - CPU with 1/2", NB/GPU with 1/4" paralell via Y Connector?

I'd use 10mm copper tubing for the NB & GPU barbs, The ID is the same as a 'comercial' 1/2 barb (9~10mm) but you can use 3/8inch tubing which fit's much better!. The only downside is you'll have to make your own Y splitter that does 1/2 inch to 2x 3/8. I'm going to use 13mm & 10mm Cu tube to make mine cause plastic ones are VERY restrictive...

I'd have the GPU & NB running parallel after the CPU like this:

Code:

           ____NB_____
          |           |
__CPU_____|           |_________RAD
          |           |
          |____GPU____|

If you have a two outlet block (White Water) you can dispense with the first Y splitter, just make sure you balance the flow through the NB & GPU so they match headloss/restriction...
