Ok so i have finally decided i am going to purchase the GTX360, and frozen CPU has the best price of reliable retailers. My question is, i want to run 1/2" hose and fitting, but i noticed that it says in the description it comes with 1/4" female threaded fitting. Now there are options below, but it looks like those are extras to order to me. My question is is there just an adapter that you run to connect from 1/2" tubing to the 1/4" slot, or is there something i need to specify on the order? here is the link to the order page:

Also here is a link to my build thread:

Sorry i know this is probably a stupid question but this is my first watercooling build and i am very selective with how i am doing it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

G1/4 threading refers to the thread the fittings use to screw into the radiator. You will want 1/2" G1/4 fittings.

Thanks bro for the help. I read the link you added to your post last week, but must have read over that part and couldn't find any information through a search. Sorry for the dumb question, but your help is greatly appreciated.

One other quick question. I think the answer is "no" but thought i should check first. I don't NEED to order the fitting right now correct? I can order it later, once i have done more research on the fittings?

Well there is no research really. G1/4 threads and 1/2 barbs. Easy. Bitpower or Danger Den fatboys (the same) are the best right now.
