Hi everyone, I have had my rig running about a year and I have plans to clean it out and renew the tubing.

Ill be stripping everything down to its individual components to give it all a good clean/dusting and I want to ask if I need to replace the O rings on the blocks and compression fittings, Or should I be OK?

Many Thanks

I don't you have to, but it is recommended. Wear and tear for those is not really that much. :P

O-rings should be fine unless your blocks were hot for exteend periods of time. Do a visual check for damage, if they look fine and are still springy when you squash them then they are fine.

Feel free to PM for any water-cooling questions. Check out my profile for more ways to contact me.
