Am currently taking various deliveries of some water cooling components for my first water cooling build, and this has included 2 x ThermoChill 3/8-1/2 barbs to go with a PA120.3.
The rad and the tubing haven't arrived yet, but things like the pump (DDC pro) and micro res have. The pump has a EK DDC X top, and is fitted with 1/2" barbs. These are clearly wider than the ThermoChill 3/8-1/2 barbs I ordered seperately, so my first reaction was I have been sent the wrong ones. However, looking at the picture on the adverts for these suggests that I haven't.
Below is two photos of the barbs I've been sent, followed by the small advertising image:
Advertised image.
As you can see, they look like their advertised image, but they are described as "3/8" BSP Threaded Barb for 1/2" ID Tubing, suitable for use with ThermoChill Radiators". Is this my water cooling virginity showing, or do I need to get these changed? Tubing with an ID of 7/16" is supposed to be a really tight fit, but looking at them against a ruler suggests otherwise! If they are right, how come they are different in width to the barbs on my pump?
