Does anyone know if we need or can change the water fluid in the H100's or H80's?

You can't and you don't need to. That's one of the benefits of those liquid cooling systems. No maintenance needed.


Back to the OP. I recommend compression fittings over barbs. They're a bit more expensive, but I think they're worth it. With barbs, you'll need something like hose clamps or zip ties to keep to tubing in place. With compression fittings, all you gotta to is tighten them and everything's good.

Or you can be a badass and use barbs without anything! Though you are risking a tube popping off and turning your watercooled system into an aquarium.
