You can slip 7/16" tubing over 1/2" barbs by soaking them for 30 secs in some warm water. However, I have put 10 7/16" Compression fittings in the basket to be used as follows: 2x for CPU 2x for GPU 2x for Radiator 2x for Pump/Res...
Yep that's the one. XSPC fittings will match which is nice... make sure the kit is 7/16" ID Tubing too. You want everything to be that size. I have a 1kw Power Supply in my big build and have no SLI or Xfire, so if it's not much more...
AP-15s are 1850rpm, IMO that's the best compromise between cooling and noise... they are quiet but not silent. You hear air moving, not a buzz from the fans. AP-14s are 1450rpm, they are near-silent. Asrock Z77E-ITX, most would...
DrLuigi, Wow great rig. Your PSU should be fine. Can I suggest a custom loop? Your case and current system would be ideal for that. You can slot a 360 rad to cool the CPU and GPU in the top with no problem, and maybe a 200mm rad in the...
RX240 is 60mm thick, EX240 is 35mm thick... fans are 25mm thick. Difference in performance with GT AP-15s is less than 10%, so I'd say get the EX240 as the RX240 doesn't look like it's an easy fit, so not worth it. You can always add...
Welcome... overclocking is more brutal than MMA... you'll come to learn that!
Mayhem's X1... it won't leak, we will make sure you leak test if first before hand as this is your first time. Also ignore my recommendation... you need XSPC Raystorm D5 RX240 or EX240. A 360 won't fit in the top of your case, the 240...
Would definitely recommend this for a starter kit XSPC Raystorm D5 RX360, you'll be able to use that for future upgrades no probs. You'll also need a full-cover waterblock for you GPU. Like this, and an additional two 7/16" fittings for...
Having looked at your sig you already have the i3 and the Z77 board? Is that what you are thinking of upgrading? If so, just drop a 3570K in there and go to overclock heaven!!! Cheers, DB
5770 to a 7870... you are going to be sooooo happy with the difference trust me! The 7870 is a good clocker too... if you have the space, get one with a decent cooler on it. Cheers, DB
