  1. Same, but I see most people using Bykski for their blocks and Barrow for fittings and what not. I'm just stuck between Barrow and Bykski's GPU water blocks. They are the same price. It seems like Bykski is more popular for their water blocks, and Barrow is more popular for everything else, especially fittings, I guess I'll just get a Bykski water block. If there's any difference, it'll hardly be noticeable. Thanks for your help!
  2. So I'm on a tight budget, and I found Bykski and Barrow, which are companies based off in Asia. They provide really low prices, which is what I'm looking for. However, both companies sell basically all of the same types of products, at around the same price. I'm wondering which brand is better in terms of quality and performance (PETG tubing and GPU water blocks specifically). Thanks!
  3. I just realized how stupid I am. I've been trying to measure only the "connector" and not the collar. After measuring the collar, I can confirm that it is 14mm. They are indeed the fittings you've linked. Another problem is that I just realized I'm missing a o-ring for one of my fittings. I've got the measurements down, but now I'm just stuck on the hardness of the rubber. I'm guessing its 70 shore a, but I'm not sure. If you don't know, it's fine, as I found them on AliExpress as well, and I can order from there if I have to. Thank you for your help!
  4. Hey man, I'm still stuck. After searching everywhere, it seems like Bykski does use the imperial system and metric system. How do I measure the fitting? Do I take in consideration of the o-ring? Or just the whole OD? I can find Bykski fittings that are 12mm, 1/2 inch, and 14mm in OD. 14mm and 1/2 seems to be the most popular. I'm mainly just stuck on how to measure the fittings, because if you take in consideration of the o-ring, it's around 12-12.5mm. If you measure the whole OD, it's around 14mm. Thanks for your help, it means a lot.
  5. Alright. Thank you so much! I'll let you know if I have anymore questions.
  6. Sorry for the late reply. These are Bykski fittings. I measured them they are 1/2 inch OD I believe. Maybe 12 mm. I uploaded a picture of them. I couldn't really find these fittings anywhere, except on AliExpress. All these brands sell tubing at different prices, and I'm just wondering which one is best. For example, I've heard people say EK's tubing doesn't provide the cleanest bend and is kinda hard to bend, but it's the cheapest in terms of price. People also say Bitspower has really good tubing, but they are more on the premium side. I'm just wondering what tubing provides good quality, but not too expensive. There's a lot of brands to choose from, and I just and to know what's best. Thanks!
  7. My friend traded his PC for a PC that was custom water cooled on Craigslist. After a while, he didn't want to deal with the maintenance, so he bought an AIO instead, and I bought the parts off of him. The fittings that I have is Bykski fittings, and I can't find any tubing from them. It seems like this is a Chinese company, and the only way to get parts from them are from sites like AliExpress. That also means shipping that takes about 1 month, which is a little too long.
  8. Hey guys, I'm planning on custom water cooling my PC. Right now I'm stuck on choosing the tubing. I know what size I want, I just don't know what brand I should be getting. I've heard EK's PETG tubing isn't good, and that Primochill has good PETG tubing. I might be wrong, but what are your recommendations? I just want to best overall tubing.
