1/2 Inch Waterblock

[everettrules]

Is their any 1/2 inch water blocks out their? I am thinking of doing a custom cooling build with a 1/2 inch tube. The cheaper, the better. Thanks!

All blocks use G1/4 inch threads.  The fittings themselves is what u need to match up to tubing and visa versa.

1 google search each, sounds like your first loop?  I wouldn't call these the cheapest but will get you on your way.

I'd go just go for basic barbs (as cheap as they come while not being crap, I think I got some stubby EK ones for just over a buck each) and EK-ZMT tubing (cheap and really easy to work with). When I'm going soft tubing I run that and then just plain black zip ties as extra insurance, have a tool to cut the ends off flush so it looks nice and is reliable af. Have had two loops with that setup and they've had 0 issues. One of them I built in December 2017 (Christmas gift to a friend) and it's had no leaks at all while being in an open case with no maintenance other than a single flush/refill and dusting I gave it when he brought it over a few months ago.

Oh yeah me too, I just googled half inch barbs haha - I need to get whatever that tool is you are talking about because both of my loops (about to do my third once I spring for the radiators) are soft tubing (easy to work with) but they aren't flush and you can tell if you look at it at all (but I use black zip ties as redundancy as well...no leaks so far built both loops this year 1 at the beginning and the second loop about 2 months ago - black tubing, Industrial theme)

It's just an $8 cable snipper thing off Amazon, lemme track down a link.

 

Here, I think this is the one I have: https://www.amazon.com/Xuron-Purpose-Flush-Cutter-Blue/dp/B002N1OXKC/ref=sr_1_14?keywords=flush+cutter&qid=1564500953&s=gateway&sr=8-14

Simple little tool, just cuts the ends of zip ties flush so it looks nice and you don't cut yourself on them.
