Hi folks.
Research phase of the watercooling proceeding nicely.
I have now hit another snag.
The waterblock I'm looking at has 3/8 barbs. (MCW6000)
This block is also available with 1/2 barbs at a nominal cost.
Pump is not bought yet. Heater core has yet to be modified.
Current projections:
Via Aqua 1300
Chevette or Geo Tracker core
T-line setup
Some GPU block
Does it matter if there's a 3/8 restriction in a 1/2 system?
Or should I go all 1/2?
The 3/8 block performs better at lower flowrates, thus allowing for a crappier pump.
But will the rest of the system be castrated by the 3/8 restriction?
