$5 filler+$1 tube = no need for expensive xspc top lol

It is a nice looking product though no doubt.

Less tubing = better.

What happens often is the dye will seperate for one reason or another and "flake" into the rad, or a block or etc. And all we will see is a thread 2 months from now "where did the color in my loop go?"

lol yeah right on Chilly I get what you mean there for sure.

In a loop yes maybe so but this won't be "in the loop" right.

Pricematch.. To be honest I'd rather get primochill tubing, yes they are colored, but are really good and are pretty good on bends, just get one of those tube coils.. You can get syringe locally for cheap..

I'm guessing your deciding to get worm type hose clamps from a local hardware store..

Yeah I was gonna go clear but they don't have it in my size only as a special order thing right. I suppose colored won't be so bad though. If it's better tubing that is.

If you want that GPU block, move fast. It'll be at least 2 weeks for more to come in and I think there's only 1-2 left.

Linus I see these are not available atm let me know when they will be if you can? Much appreciated. I have lots of time & don't mind waiting.

I've changed things up considerably as I'm now going with a diff plan. Saw something I liked & gonna try it out with a diff twist.

I'd try and put metal barbs on everything-those bitspower barbs are very well made BTW-short thread is ideal for the GPU block. You seem to have ordered 2 sets which will cover the GPU block and either the radiator or res. Hopefully you've read about the issues with the EK4870X2 block-got to be careful with a couple of the screws and shorting-theyve included fiber washers now. The DD block is supposed to be a great fit and no reports of dead cards.

[Sniper]

Yes I think I am going with alot of diff gear now lol. I'll update soon. Thinking about going with the bitspower compression fittings for anything inside the case & the reg bitspower barbs on everything otside the case if need be.

I'll have a look at that DD block cause I think i'm making an order from them anyways so might as well pick that up to along with my other stuff to. Thx.

[Sniper]

Updated gear in first post. Just waiting to hear back about the case then start gathering parts.

Sniper get some real nice pics of that 4870 block, EK has always had an upper hand over DD blocks, but recently with that including GTX 280 and 4870x2 full cover blocks, DD has some pretty good finishing, and seem to have less problems than EK (shorting issue)..

And yeah ever since MpG, Vortex have started recommending Distilled water + nuke, and have also said it's cooler, I've been wondering if I really want to use that Feser stuff again.

[Sniper]

Ah yeah? Must be good stuff then.

I'm going with the DD block mainly because of what I hear about it & that it's currently available as well. I'll be taking pics for a work log for sure though to.
