Anyone using 45 degree compression or barbs on the Apogee GTZ CPU water block or another water block? I'm thinking the 45 degree fittings on the CPU water block will give it a lot cleaner look. Right now I have the G1/4 Bitspower 1/2ID compression fittings that will be mounted to the Apogee GTZ, these things are HUGE! I had to relocate the "swiftech" badge on the block already because of the size of these things.

I'm getting a little confused with all these fittings that Performance PC has to offer. I have 6 G1/4-12ID-3/4OD silver Bitspower compression fittings. What else will I need to complete these two loops? Components are listed below in sig. :bang head

I have seen some pics of the 45s on the GTZ, just can't recall where. It will work, although I think it looks a little funky - especially with the larger 3/4" OD fittings (just my 2 cents, though).

The 5/8" OD fittings work well on the GTZ:

Bitspower 45 deg fittings would be fine.

Save yourself ~$4 and buy that Bitspower 25 from sidewinder.
