Picking the right Fittings!

Hello!

 

I plan to watercool my system and of course I then need fittings!

Matt Black ones would fit my color scheme best. I need compression and 90° angled fittings.

Also they need to be fairly cheap but of a good quality to prevent any potentiall leak sources!

 

Can you give me some recommandations?

Since fittings are a fairly aesthetic based thing, as long as they fit the tubing that you use, there should not be too much problem. I too have some matte black fittings in my loop, and they do look damn fine. 

 

Also keep an eye on the price, as when I was browsing through the fittings section of a local watercooling online retailer, there were large differences between the price of fittings for no apparent reason, and when you are buying 10+ fittings, those small differances add up quick...

I got mine from aquatuning, because it was really cheap. Anything from EK, koolance, or any of the big watercooling names should do you just fine... 

 

Also take into account the websites you are looking at, as certain brands might not be selling at the website you use...

I would suggest Swiftech since they tend to have good pricing here in Canada and US to most other fittings but they are having issues with supply right now.

I would suggest EKWB fittings they are not the most pricey out there like the premium bitspowers fittings but still have a very good quality and selection. Pricing though may depend on the region so things may vary.
