Q-Ball · 11-27-2004, 08:08 PM

Hi I need everyone's help. I just realized a problem. I have the Swiftech MCW50

Copy and paste in brower if it doesn't work.

And using 1/2 inch tubing.

( http://www.bigfootcomputers.com/Merc...ory_Code=510.4 )

How can I use my water cooling to use this GPU block to cool my x800? PLEASE
HELP!

I am doing this because I just upgraded from 3/8 water cooling to a brand new 1/2 setup

My setup is:
Black Ice Xtreme 2 (2x120)
BIack Ice Xtreme (120)
Customer reservoir
Swiftech MCP600 Pump
Danger Den TDX CPU Block
Danger Den Maze 4 NB Block
Swiftech MCW50 GPU Block

Thanks

Those Swiftech blocks have John Guest push-in fittings.
You can get push-in-to-barb fittings (1/2" push-in to barb for 1/2" ID tubing). If bigfoot doesn't have 'em, you can get them from swiftech, mcmaster-carr or usplastic (probably lots of other places, too - those are just the ones I know about.)
Or... you can use short lengths of 1/2" OD copper tubing. Push it into the push-in fitting, push the flexible tubing over the copper. Your local hardware store should have this. . If you want to get really fancy, go to your local radiator shop and have them set up a couple of short lengths of 1/2" OD copper tubing for you - they can use a "beader" to put a "bead" in the end that the flexible hosing is going to go over - works like a barb, only better.

Alright thanks, my bro said he might have those swiftech push in ones. I was using them for my 3/8 setup. BTW, The colour on the green tubing doesnt look as bad on the website. I also didnt pay a arm and leg for it either

If I cant get the push in barbs, I'll give the copper a go. Thanks for both your help!
