do compression fittings make sense?

Not with the rasa kits.

The internal diameter of the tubing that comes with the kit slightly smaller than the barb fitting themselves so when u slip the tubing on, they pretty much sealed tight.

It have these clamps u can use too: http://www.amazon.com/PrimoChill-Black- ... 152&sr=1-3

Comes with the kit as well.

Compression fittings may be better if u using thick walled tubing that not very flexible.

I use both compression and barbed fitting in my intel setup and they don't have any noticeable diff between them. Probably just a preference for different people.

Plus i can't recommend a Sandy Bridge board since i never used any. If is brands i'd suggest Gigabyte, Asus or MSI.

alota people been complaining about the gigabyte ud3 board being doa or failing soon after buying.
I have never liked gigabyte anyway but that is personal opinion. some of the asus boards are super sexy. i see your point chiney about the 7970 i saw the new non reference offerings today i think i will have to order one

that card thick dread.... i stsill hadda decide what brand a meh 7950 i buying most likely msi twin frozr III or de gigabyte windforce 3.. i looking for quietness.... i see good reviews bout de gigabyte jus a few bad 1s not a fan of asus but they do have bad$$ looking boards

Yeah the kit comes with everything u need to setup on a cpu only. Thermal paste too.

You only have to fill the res twice: once when u do the initial connections and setup. It comes with a psu bridge plug so u can operate the pump without turning on the pc system.

When the liquid circulates all the way through the loop u have to continue filling it up to just under the level of the base of the fill cap. Use a funnel.

As for maintenance i recommend changing the coolant at least once a year depending on how often you use the system.

Think the samsungs are supposed to be better but the Asus pic quality is top notch & the monitors are cheaper. But if you having the xtra $$ get the samsung

[HCCA]

What draws you to that case anyway?

I was considering it for my intel setup but on closer inspection it has a serious flaw.

well lemme tell yuh de story... once upon a time i didnt like white cases and thing but ah see that 1 and it tickle meh....so i fine de white looking bess and de case lookin bess overall plus is a nice price... and i ent really see nun so wrong wit it 1 time.

lemme hear yuh now

[HCCA]

^^To me it seems that the vents on top of the case blocking about half of the fans' airflow.

Not good if you wanna be liquid cooling anyting and have to install a radiator on top.

The case nice other than that flaw but the price kinda high too, was expecting $150US retail.

Who knows it might drop yes. Got my Nzxt phantom white for $1000TT last year.

to me de vents look ok enough most likely i replacing those stock xspc fans with some noctuas or something with a blue led.. i wanna get this pc to be as quiet as possible.. i see the 7870 out now and looking like a better choice for me dan de 7950... de pice is a 100US less too and i could crossfire dem by de end a de year or so... well i still getting de case anyway i love it.. i will tell yuh how it working out..

From what i reading the 7870 beats the 6970, pretty darn cool.

Then again Nvidia have something up dey sleeve.
