Water cooling compatibility (tubing, fittings, etc...)

Jeankyyyy · Oct 31, 2013

I'm about to buy this water cooling kit to cool my cpu : http://www.frozencpu.com/products/21236/ex-wat-271/XSPC_Raystorm_750_EX360_Extreme_Universal_CPU_Water_Cooling_Kit_New_Rev_4_Pump_Included_w_Free_Dead-Water.html

I want to also add an extra reservoir for aesthetics, this one : http://www.frozencpu.com/products/20924/ex-res-636/XSPC_Photon_270_Tube_Glass_Cylinder_Reservoir.html

What i want to know is... Does the tubing included in the kit fit in the other reservoir? Do I need to buy any barb fittings? Anything useful please. Thanks!

Thanks but you really didn't answer my question. Will the included tubing fit on the other reservoir?

The tubing included will fit the other reservoir. The Fitting ports are the same on both reservoirs.

Yes is the short answer, here is how. The reservoir has G1/4" ports to attach tubing to, pretty standard, you have 7/16" x 5/8" tubing with your kit, you will need to buy fittings to screw into the reservoir to attach the tube to, use 1/2" fittings. If you want to use barbed fittings with a clamp then these should work fine...

They are the same fittings that come with your kit, you will also need clamps for them.

Something like this should work fine, hope this helps....
