RedViper said:Geez! "And aliens might come down and shake my case upside down, so I MUST have clamps!!! And no one (in this open forum) should feel any different!!!" Guys, I use clamps, of both types. I'm just willing to entertain the idea, based on observation and engineering, that they might not be needed for a leak-free system. Hurried trips trips to dictionary.com and super-heated rhetoric won't change the way I think.

greenman100 said:what about Cathar running without hose clamps and then drenching his motherboard?
going to dig up the thread now
squeakygeek said:Um yeah... a computer case falling over is such a far-fetched idea...
RedViper said:This is pathetic. How often do I have to say that I don't CARE what anyone else uses? For me, I'll keep an open mind. If this posture offends any of you then too bad.
Now that Cathar has said that barbs MAY not be needed, I'm waiting to see if you guys level some of your irrational attacks on him. Well?
BTW Cathar, I admire your oft-copied contributions to water-cooling. I hope I can find one of your blocks for my next refit.
Cathar said:For less highly powered systems (most everyone) that typically operate in the 2-3PSI range I do believe that one can usually get by without using clamps so long as the tubing is biting into the barb pretty well.
squeakygeek said:ok, run your system without barbs and see what happens
haha
RedViper said:Can you read AND comprehend at the same time?
Cathar said:Mind you, I did have around 15PSI of pressure going into the block at the time.
