Not got a clue on these so can someone spec me a basket please for 7/16 tubing, this is for gfx card so needing 2 pairs, and straight ones will be fine

Thank You

Nick
 
Yes, you may need to dip the 7/16 stuff in some warm water for 30 seconds or so first, after that just force them over the barb, no need for tube clips with this either as when you come to remove it you'll likely have to cut the tubing back off :)

Currently using two sets of the above, you can also get female ends with a G1/4 thread to screw directly into a component, I have my QDC's set out so I can remove the rear panel of my case that has a rad bolted to it :)
 
thx, mate, think what you have specced will be the better option rather than the G1/4 alternative, thx for your help


edit: Out of stock :( OCUK need to stock up on there WC bits!!! have already been elsewhere for most of my bits.
 
Stock of a few things have been low for a while :(

It's likely down to suppliers though, not many brands are from the UK, most are in the states or Germany :(

umm, bought a few things from germany and did not like the buying process, but there products are superb, from my experience nothing can compare to there build quality and performance, would love an AC block for my card but its never gonna happen :(

They are vital in a big build, also gives you a couple of easy drain points ;)

again, what i was thinking, especially since i got my eyes on a nice Merlin ST10-X Case ;) after seeing yours and Kaap's i want something that is not mainstream and can be changed to how i want rather than being restricted to a set plan.
 
Yep, big watercases are the way forward!!

The Merlin ST10 is begging for 480 monstas.

I do wish more of these big cases had better availability in the UK though, shipping and taxes has always put me off of Caselabs & Mountainmods cases :(
 
That was the thinking behind it, just not sure I got the right ones.

The ones I got are tube to tube,

Think I should have got a couple of tube to component variety,

Time will tell :)

Apologies Nick for jumping aboard
 
yep monsta's all the way!!! got the 360 to go in the front just need 2 480's, sent them an email and to ship+import tax comes to just under £500 for 1 but can reduce for multiple orders, may see if i can sort a multi buy out. If not its my B'day in a couple of months and its at the top of my list ;)

dont apologise scotty and welcome aboard!! ;) are they just compression versions of the ones that paul specced???
 
The bottom one you listed is female thread scotty, you'd have to screw a male/male connector into it to screw it directly into a component, the external thread you can see is for panel mounting :)

As you can see in my pic below, one set is a straight tubing break using the barb versions, the bottom one is screwed directly into the 1080 radiator thats externally mounted:

My thoughts exactly, 900D is going to be killed that's why I may

go for the XSPC H2 :D

Only prob is I've seen the 900D close up and its mega :(

Cool, got the right ones for now - got 4 of each :D

Not cheap but they'll come in very handy



So Paul, the bottom one I linked will be good to use for connecting through base plates etc?

I have some in my build but there are new versions recently released - QD2,3,4 series that look quite a bit smarter, good investment anyway.
 
The new revision appears to have brought great improvements to the current design. Bitspowers QDCs look nice much nicer but seem to be using a older style design which Koolance previously used.

Looks so good.
