Is there any reason to go with one over the other? I've read a review that the MCW6000 cools better than the MCW6002.

That's what I do and would do with the 3/8" ID as well. I'm trying to get as close as I can do a true 1/2" ID with the setup I have here, though that's impossible with most waterblocks. I have quite a few sections of 5/8" ID, in fact. I do have some 3/8" ID tubing in parallel though, and it's ever so easy to manage. A true 3/8" ID system is pretty doable, and you'd see some good results from it.I've stretched 5/8" tygon over 3/4" barbs, same size difference. It's doable but it's a pain, you have to boil the tubing and really struggle to get it on. Least you know it's not coming off! If I were to do a 3/8" ID system I'd definitely get 1/2" barbs and stretch over em.
Go with a 1/2"x1/2" splice instead. The 3/8" tubing should fit over the 1/2" barb and use a very short piece of 1/2" tubing to connect the barb fitting to the pump. This way you won't suffer from a restriction. Home Depot has the 1/2" x 1/2"barb fitting.All you do is buy 1/2" ID to 3/8" ID nylon adapters.
Same size difference but 5/8” tubing has a larger circumference...meaning there’s more material available to stretch. Not so with a 3/8" tube.I've stretched 5/8" tygon over 3/4" barbs, same size difference.
That is a sensitive subject....yes, the 6000 performs better than the 6002 at the same flowrate,the MCW6000 cools better than the MCW6002
I have been investigating the use of 7/16" ID (5/8" OD) Tygon R-3603 tubing as a cross-over between 3/8" and 1/2" ID.

still learning alot..this forum sure is alot of help
There isn't a 25 foot minimum purchase for that tubing. I've checked before and rechecked just now and I'm pretty sure you can buy it by the foot as well. At least it lets you add 1 foot of it to your order so I'm assuming it'll work. Just thought I'd clear that up in case anyone was considering buying some. This is what the sidebar says about it too.......gungeek said:mcmaster has it in the Masterkleer tubing: product 5233K44
