Question about thread length

TerabyteMike · 21 Apr 2016 at 10:39

Just wondering some threads on Fittings are too long to fit in certain waterblocks. Are spacers any good to reduce the length?

Thats their purpose, so yes.

I think EK blocks come with spacers. Pretty sure both of mine did anyway.

OK cool thanks. Have you ever had any problems with leaks using these?

The EK ones that come with the blocks have O rings recessed into them like on the bottom of barbs and compression fittings so there should be no leaks. I have not used mine as I have short threaded fittings.

OK cool thanks. I'll look into their ones. Got my gpu block second hand and it didn't come with anything but was super cheap

Yep just looked at a few different types and I see the o rings. Didn't see them before but thanks for the help
