pipe help

[lokiguesty]

hi all brought these two things and they arrived today.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...unted Watercooling Kit (Socket 939/AM2/LGA775)

and

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...oupid=701&catid=193&subcat=1048&name=XSPC 3/8"%20High%20Flexibility%20PVC%20Tubing%20-%201m

when i got it all out the pipe dimiter of the tubing i brought seems larger than the one in the box. it only seems fractional but the fittings are less snug in the pipe than the supplied ones, once i have the tightening rings on will it be ok? or is the pipe i have brought likely to leak?

thanks loki

oh dear. you really should have asked before you bought this! I doubt anyone would have told you it was a good idea. Anyway, rather than dis your Thermaltack water-cooling too much, the problem is that XSPC tubing is 3/8" and 1/8" thick whereas thermaltack is 9.5mm and 3mm. That's not quite the same you know. It's close but it's not the same. I'd recommend you try to return the Bigwater.. No, sorry, return the XSPC tubing and buy Thermaltack tube.
