1. How can I connect my 3-way SLi setup for watercooling? I have my gpublocks, but not sure what to use to connect them. I've seen koolance and danger den adapters, but I want to know what you guys did to have a little tube between them.


2. I want to get compression fittings ID 1/2 OD 3/4 so I need that size tube, correct?


3. Do you use compression fittings on the entire loop or use barbs on the radiater and pumps.



...This is obviously my first attempt at water cooling and I want to make it as clean as possible. :) I'll post pics as I progress. Thanks!
 
I cant speak as to the sli question but as for the others:

2. It depends on the particular fitting but in my experience yes. Getting 7/16 tubing over a normal 1/2 barb isnt that tough but there is no way that I could get 7/16 on my 1/2 xspc compression fittings.

3. I just used compression fittings where I would be able to see them.
 
1. AFAIK, it is what it is - very short lengths of tubing between each GPU block.

2. Yes, for compression fittings both the ID and OD must be identical for the fittings and tubing.

3. Barbs vs compression is purely aesthetic, so you can be consistent throughout your loop put mix iat up as you please.
 
Jfc, stupid phone won't let me scroll down within the text box to edit my post. You get what I mean, though...
 
1) You have a few options, depending on your block you may have something like this avaible: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/1...ridge_DUAL_Serial_3_-Slot.html?tl=g30c101s873

Or you can do: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/1...acing_-_Black_CNT-VDA2-BK.html?tl=g30c101s873

Or as said: Just do barbs/compression on each with tubing between to connect

2) Yes that is correct

3) Aesthetics completely , both do the same thing, and both do it just as well as th eother, if you cannot see the fittings, go with what is cheapest.
