arctic-k20 said:also - i have the radbox and it is 3/8" id for the pci-pass through - but your cpu block is 1/2" id and possibly your rad is 1/2" id so you will have to figure out if you can get your 3/8" stuff to fit all of those 1/2" spots....
and if you are doing some intense overclocking i have found that the single 120 dtek has troubles keeping up.......so ive already moved up to the 77 bonneville - to be installed!!

Osirus said:well here is my take on it. If you are running 1/2" on everything, and move to 3/8" on the box, the only time it would matter and cause flow problems is if you go from bigger to smaller in your flow. Generally you want to stick to the same size for everthing. Now if you went 5/8" on your radbox, and 1/2" all around, you wont notice anything.
I dont know if you will notice any flow change going from 1/2" to 3/8" on the inlet and then 3/8" to 1/2" on the outlet of the radbox.
Hense the reason I suggested the heatercore, 77 chevette, because with little modification if will accept 1/2" its its only as big as 1 x 120mm, roughly same size as the radbox.
Another important thing to remember, there are 2 different 1/2" or any tubing for that matter. Its important to specifiy which you have.
1/2" ID - inner diamiter
1/2" OD - outer diamiter
All the blocks and pumps you suggested have a 1/2" OD and the tubing you want, wether it be clearflex60 or Tygon, you want it to be 5/8" OD and 1/2" ID.
Hope this helps you out deception.
*edit*
Just my 2cents on the CPU block. I would suggest the TDX, in your previous post you said you where going to use the same watercooling kit when you move to a A64 setup. With that being said I know you can buy a new lucite top from DD for $11. This way you dont have to spend more money when you move to an A64.
I faced this same problem when I went from Intel to AMD.
Osirus said:I got ya... I was un-aware you were going to use a pci pass-through. If you can find a adaptor that will go from 3/8" - 1/2" and not cause alot of flow problems, then it will work fine, I would highly doubt you would notice a difference.
Osirus said:well you might notice a differnece if you use all 3/8". Generally the bigger the tubing, the more water flow, the more heat is displaced, the better the cooling. I dont have any charts to compair, but when I was on the market for watercooling stuff, this is what I was told. I saw on citricool there are a 3/8" to 1/2" adaptor that will fit in a PCI slot. so you might want to check into that one. that wouldnt limit the flow a whole a lot.
Your biggest thing is you want as little resistance as possible.
