I was watching a Newegg video about this SSD and the Intel guy said this card had 18 channels. I'm a little fuzzy on MB architecture Does anyone know if those 18 channels equals 18 PCIe lanes? I'm running an SLI config now using 32 PCIe lanes. Will I have to bail on the SLI set-up if I go with this card as my only boot and storage drive?

If you have a D5 pump, it has enough power to handle the quick disconnects, they wouldn't make it so expensive if it was useless. I have myself 4 of them, each one on intlet and outlet of my 2 radiators. Maintenance was kind of a pain so I needed an easy way to remove and take things apart. I would recommand the koolance one, QD3 because the QD4 series are a bit too large. Carefull when you picked quick disconnects, you need 1 Male that goes together with 1 Female.
They are two types of quick disconnects too, one that goes directly to a block or radiator ( it has G1/4 universal) and the other that goes with your tubing size with a compression fitting on the end.
is that clear enough ?
 
for example :
Male or Female G1/4 + Male or Female 3/8" 5/8" tubing size
Male or Female 3/8" 5/8" tubing size + Male or Female 3/8" 5/8" tubing size
 
best use for them was a drain point on the lowest point, I would disconnect them, use a spare one with tubing and start draining

As long as your pump has ample L/ph then a 45/90 bend or several will be fine. My pump is raited for 800l/hr and I have 4 90's in my loop and I can't tell a difference in flow rate.

Thanks all, it's always good to have some experienced folks to lean on when you need it. Guess I'll buy some fittings today.

Just want to say thanks for the advice. I've been away for the holidays and just now got back. I checked out dazmode, looks like the place to find what I'll need and I looked at the "how to" stuff in the water cooling 101 guide. It's just what I need so thanks for that too. You guys are pretty great so thanks again and I hope you have a happy New Year.
