Fittings

[mp4-25]

What type and brand of fitting would you recommend? I am new to water cooling and don't want to choose bad fittings. Thank you in advance.

I personally use Compression fittings by bits power. I also use Crystal link as it is good for keeping the loop looking tidy without thick tube running everywhere. I usally get it from http://www.specialtech.co.uk I don't know where you're from but if you're from the UK i recommend you go here. I don't really know any shops in america or canada if your from that side of the Pond but i'm sure someone else can help you out with a supplier. Oh yea heres the product. http://www.specialtech.co.uk/spshop/customer/Bitspower-14-Thread-Compression-Fitting-for-12-ID---34-OD-Tubing-Matt-Black--BP-MBCPF-CC5-pid-11525.html They do do 90 degree fitting and dual rotary fittings to which make life a lot easier. They also help to cut down on the amount of tubing you have to use. Good luck. Any more questions just post back.

Bits power compressions seem very expensive, By the way I am in the UK so the link was helpful.

They are expensive but you pay for quality and the fact that they last. I prefer spending the extra money and watercooling isn't supposed to be done cheaply.

Thank you for the advice now I just need to decide what colour bits power fittings to get. Shiny silver or black sparkle. I will be using red coolant and the new gigabyte z87 ud4 motherboard.

I like the Black sparkle fittings when working with RED and the shiny silver with white. But just my personal Opinion :)
