Looking for a way to connect these two parts

[nj4ck]

Hey forum,

 

so I'm currently in the process of perfecting my loop and I've done some changes that left me with a spare 120mm radiator and some space to mount it.  It would be a shame to have it laying around, so I figured some extra cooling couldn't do any harm. The problem is that the position of the two G1/4" ports on the radiator and on the reservoir, the two parts I want to connect, makes it impossible to use normal tubing.

 

Here's an image to illustrate my problem, the red circle is the connection I'm having trouble with:

 

 

what you can't see there is that the two ports are actually offset a little, the port on the reservoir is more on the motherboard-side of the case, while the port on the radiator is located about half an inch more towards the side panel.

Here's an image to give you a better idea of what I mean:

 

 

I'm looking for some kind of double-link 45° fitting or something like that. It would be really nice if I could somehow add that radiator, all I need is a way to hook it up.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Angeld fittings?

Angeld fittings?

yeah but the way the two ports are offset, a standard 90° adapter won't work and I'm afraid there may not be enough space for a double 45° adapter..

Turn the radiator around?

Why cant you go from pump to second fitting with a 90 degree fitting and then out the first one to gpu?

This is off topic, but there seems to be a lot of air in your loop.

If you mean what I think you mean, that would create some very messy-looking runs...

it does look like air on the photo but in reality its just dust on the tubing.

huh. never thought about that  :lol:

Yeah I'd just flip the rad if you don't want tubing crossing

Bitspower 90° dual rotary with a dual g1/4" male might work.

Is the port on the pump that is facing the camera in- or outlet? If it's an outlet rotating the pump 90° and then using the bitspower fitting might work even better. Hard to tell the exact measurements from these photos.
