• $39.99 Shipping

can anyone explain to me why newegg is charging 39.99 for shipping a $3.49 part ?

 

what is the standard size barb or compression fitting that is used? the bigger the better? 

is there any performance increase barbs vs compression fittings or is it just cosmetic?

Probably because it says shipping from Germany in 6-10 days. Shipping charges likely wouldn't go up if you ordered more than 1 though.

 

Use the fitting size that fits your tubing.

 

Just cosmetic, although barbs are (in general) more leak resistant, but both will be fine as long as you install them properly. Also compression fittings are more expensive.

Gotta read the description, pretty clear why. 

 

Nothing new there really.

yeah ive noticed but i feel they will look much better ... i am thinking of doing hardline tubing with Rgb compression Fittings... I am trying to find bulk set of 8 or 10 on ebay .

 

Okay if I use barbs that limits me to soft tubing correct? 

Also I want the best cooling possible, the only part i ordered already was my rad. 3 x 120 x 30mm,

 

my current aio is 27mm or 25mm so little bit better... price was good on ebay. 

 

I have an aluminum rad, do i need to get specific fittings?

I wouldn't use fittings from Ebay unless you trust the company selling them, that's a lot of money worth of components to trust to some guy on Ebay.

 

Barbs are soft tubing only.

 

Is the radiator full aluminum or are just the fins aluminum? Because if the piping in the radiator is aluminum it's going to be hell finding an aluminum waterblock. You don't want to mix metals in a water cooling loop. You can, but you will either be writing off the components in short order or need some type of mitigating liquid.

Yes, so i am going to remove the tubing from my stock AIO Cooler Master 240L, Then i am going to use

that as my pump and keep the Rad and do a dual rad system 

 

GPU : BLOCK for a GTX 1070 Founders Edition... that will work with my system ????

 

I believe the rad on my AIO is also Aluminum and so the pump I have should be fine. 

 

I like the safety factor of Cooler Master Logo Lit up when the pump turns on .

 

If that is an epic fail, I will buy a cpu block ... 

 

Pump to Res, Res to Rad 1 360, then 360 rad to gpu and gpu to 240 rad and 240 to the pump in
