From Pro-Coolings review
Only advantage Maze4 has is it has very little resistance. If you have only one block, or even a CPU and GPU block and that MCP600 you dont have to worry about that.

For a little more you get a lot more performance, get the MCW6002 when it comes out.

Awesome, I can definately wait that long!JDizzle said:
So if I were to just soak the end of the tubing in boiling water it could fit over the fittings on a heatercore? what type oft ubing do I need then? anything special or different then regular 1/2" ID tubing?

I'd guess that he would use 3/8" ID tubing. If you've got a restrictive CPU block and two other blocks, the restriction of the tubing matter very little.

I'm only cooling the CPU and possible but doubtfully the gpu, no northbridge coolingAngryAlpaca said:
and for cpu block, i'll be getting the MCW6002-A waterblock for my cpu, and if anything the maze4 for my gpu
all components are measured at 1/2" so why not use 1/2" ID tubing rather then having to convert back and forth?

but there would be some performance decrease wouldn't there??
I want the best performance I can get without spending a whole ton of money, so every bit counts
wouldn't it be just as easy to get really flexible 1/2" ID tubing?

With a ~31" drop already, the 3-4" more that the 3/8" tubing offers over the 1/2" won't really change the flow much, nonetheless the temperature.

Hmmmm.........i wonder if using a 1/2 to 3/8 converter b4 the block would change the temps much pending you have good head pressure from your pump. For instance the MCP600.

How is 3/8" tubing easier to use than 1/2" (serious question) ?

Smaller tubing is easier to route through your case.
