1. what do i do if the pump has 5/8" fittings and i need to use 3/8"
2. will i need to protect for condensation when running water at room temps?
3. is it true that as u increase the speed of your computer the temps raise less than if u had air cooling?
4. is there anything i will have to put in the water?

1-you'll need to use an adapter, they make them, just pick up one at a hardware store, use 1/2" stuff, easier to find those adapters/connectors to integrate

2-no, condensation is not a concern with straight watercooling.

3-yes, your temps will not increase as much as with aircooling when you add more voltage to gain more fsb

4-you should put some sort of antigrowth additive in the water, like water wetter, it aids in cooling and prevents corrosion and growth, use the proper proportions.
