Hey guys,

I've been scooting around various places and I've come across a brand of fittings called "Barrow"

Anybody got any advice / recommendations on them or is it best to stop with EK, Bitspower and XSPC?

Cheers
 
Barrow are allegedly OEM/unbranded bitspower. I've generally heard positive things from those that have used them, although haven't used them myself yet (although probably will be for my next liquid cooled build).
 
As above and I'm currently using their 16mm Acrylic compression fittings/tubing/passthroughs and a reservoir with no issues whatsoever.
The quality of it is as good as I've seen fwiw.

Work colleague is currently doing a full hardline build with their fittings, after comparing them side by side with bitspower apart from the logo you can't tell the difference.

I'd recommend them for sure. Delivery has always been within 2 days aswell from the guy who sells them on Ebay.
 
Yep they work fine. Gone all Barrow on my second build while first was all Bitspower.

Feel exactly the same, but there Matt black finish is actually a Matt black rather then the Bits power ones which seem to have a sheen. The logo is of course missing, but not a bad thing per say. Also using their acrylic tubing and stuff is decent and easy to work with.

Guy on the bay does great service and quick delivery always
 
Also their T Virus resorvoirs look amazing and come in pretty much every colour , no idea on quality of it though.

On the contrary, as a previous owner of Bitspower, EK, Enzotech, Koolance and Barrow fittings, I can definitely tell the major difference between Bitspower and Barrow:

1. Comparing rotary fittings, barrow fittings are a lot looser than Bitspower, which may (or may not) suggest the internal O-ring of the Barrow fittings are less tight than Bitspower counterparts. But all rotary fittings are prone to leak so I would not worry about that.

2. Comparing Matte Black finishes, just like how MDPC-X sleeve stands apart from Teleios, Bitspower finishes are a lot smoother than Barrow, and a lot more scratch resistant than Barrow. Again, it's not something that one would worry too much but the difference is there.

3. In the unlikely event of warranty, Bitspower actually covers damage within 1-year. Not too sure about Barrow.
