Thanks. The only reasong I am considering on water cooling the SB and the Crosslink chip is because I want to remove the Fusion block and the stock heatsink my board came in so I could have a better NB block w/ 1/2" OB barbs, because the fusion block is only 3/8" OD and the tubing that I bought was 7/16" ID..

Maybe I could just put some heatsink over my SB?

The SB/Crosslink water block I posted was I think made just for Maximus Extreme..

thanks!

Okay.. I will look into it..Or maybe, do you think I could just put the 7/16" Id tubing on the 3/8" OD barb of the Fusion block and not have leaks?

I just though that I will affect the performance of my WC setup if I have all 7/16" ID tubing and have a 3/8"OD barb on the Fusion block.

Thanks!

yah, I agree with you since I just spent some money for my CPU only loop.

I think I misunderstood you, you said you usually recommend 3/8" barbs OD/ID or tubing OD/ID?

I am assuming that you are talking about 3/8" ID tubing right?
The Fusion block is a 3/8" OD barb but I dont know what is the ID.

Ah okay..So I guess the 7/16" ID tubing wont be to loose if I put it on the 3/8" OD barb?

Thanks for helping!! +rep! =)

I think that is a good idea but I already purchased my components and it will include a 7/16" ID by 5/8" OD masterkleer tubing.. I have some 3/8" ID tubing left over from my WC kit, so maybe I will use that and put the reducer that ChielScape recomended.

Thanks

I think I have some of those reducers laying around here at work, so maybe I will get some..

Thanks..

I just didnt want to wait anymore
