hi there, just wandering how tight to do the compression fittings to the blocks and radiators? im using the ek compression fittings.....i dont want to over tighten them as to either split the blocks or kill the threads......

so far ive tightend them as much as possible by hand....

ill post some pics up some time next week as im still waiting on the 200mm phobya rad to arrive.......its gonna be another corsair 600t water cooled with 2 x sapphire hd6950s......

probably start a build log thread.......even though its been running on air for 6 months or so.......

never water cooled before so hopefully everything will go well.......

The worst thing to do is tighten using pliers, by hand is the best way to go!
