hey guys just I'm planning on setting up my first water cooling system real soon and have even brought a few parts from someone on H on it but I have a few questions that was not covered on the stickies posted on the forums.
Fittings
=================
1. I see in E-tailer shops there are two types of fittings; Barbs and compressions. every guide I see mentions using Barbs but not compressions. my question is can Compressions fittings be used to connect all blocks to tubes without using Barbs? I am worrying about not properly tightening the tube if I use Barbs.
2. Quick Disconnects; where would these be placed in your loop?
3. T-Line is this really needed?
Reservoir
=================
1. Does it make a difference in what kind of reservoir you get? Are there any highly recommended ones?
2. If using distilled water how often you have to refill your water cooling system?
GPU Blocks
===================
1. The motherboard I am planning to use for this system supports tri sli/xfire and I have 3 cards. (using only 1 at the moment) When all cards connected there is little to no room between card slot 1 and 2 (maybe a milimeter or less.) my question is will I be able to use full blocks on all 3 cards? I am worried of not enough space for full blocks on cards 1 and 2.
Radiator
==================
1. I plan on getting a Mora 3 Pro (9x120m Fans) as I will be cooling 3 GPU's + CPU + (possibly full board block) my question is what kind of fans are needed for it. Is it normal Case Fans? If so what is the difference between fan bearing types? more specifically what bearing should I go for?
Thats all for now. Though I might ask more later.
