I have to vrm EK water block for my Asus maximus xii for formula and the grease Inc is no enough to do the four barbs,what kind can I use that will not effect the rubber o rings on the barbs.
Thanks.

Never heard of having to put ' grease' on barbs before, who said you have to ?

EDIT : Just watched a video about installation, and i learn something new

I would imagine it is just standard silicon grease like this :

It's the way the barb fits into the block as it's very tight,the way the block works is you remove a large screw then move the top part over,push the barb in then slide it back them replace the screw,it comes with some but there is no enough.

All jokes aside a bit of spit or water should do if you have nothing else.

Standard silicone grease is the way to go if you want something that will help you when it comes to removing the tubes, not just putting them on. Just don't go nuts and buy the paint tin... you need a tiny amount and that kind of volume is crazy overkill!
