Trapped Tube Technology (TTT) Rad Mount in Production - Page 4

Give it a minute it's processing still at this post

Please note the Liquid Cooling industry has not adopted one standard for threading.

For whatever reason some rads are 6-32 (even if the website says M4 like the XSPC 360 RT) and some are M3 (which makes no sense: that's even smaller than 6-32) and some are M4.

I suggest that before you order you determine what threading the rad is by taking one of the coarse threaded screws that comes with your PC case to attach the PSU or the HDDs and seeing if that fits the threading. If it's too small (by a fair amount) you have M4 (most likely). If it's looking about the right diameter but not threading in the rad right try a fine thread screw from your PC case like ou would use to mount an optical drive: that's M3.

M3 is easy to tap to 6-32. IMO 6-32 would be a better choice since it is stronger than M3 marginally.

It would be nice to have one standard but I guess there is no pressure to adopt one so the MFRs do whatever they want.

At this time I have 6-32 and M4 threaded rod but no M3. I will order some today and shouldhave it in hand in a few days. Other than the different threaded rods thekits are basically the same.

I am considering making a master kit that has M4, M3 and 6-32 threaded rods so I can be sure each kit will fit any rad. Problem is this is three sets of hardware...which obviously will cost me more to produce.

I'd also like to provide thumbscrews for every kit but Metric thumbscrews are 10 times more expensive than SAE thumbscrews...again a pricing issue.

Until then please try and determine the threading by inspecting the radiator as the website information form the MFRs is not always reliable.

Thanks.

Have not played with either of those cases...yet.
