Cheap(er) compression fittings

[computer/noob]

Ive seen TTL videos and stuff using 7/16" tubing + 1/2" barbs and was always thinking just to go with that as it worked well. But i also quite like the look of compression fittings, and heard a few people say that they are a little safer for first time watercoolers.

So i had a look on specialtech and thought the bitspower ones are expensive.....would either the XSPC or EK fittings be ok as ive not seen anyone review or use these make fittings?

PS. Sorry for yet another thread about fittings

They are all the same to be honest some are just better made than others and fittings like Bits Power ones are just overpriced bling. XSPC and EK are both top brands so the quality of their fittings is good and you wont have any problems with them.

The Feser Company fittings are great too !

They are exactly the same as bitspower compressions fittings without the BP logos and half the price !

They also come with black o-rings .

Great alternative !

Cheers !

Alphacool, EK, Enzotech, Feser, Koolance ,Monsoon ,Phoyba and XSPC all make compression fittings as well and all of them are cheaper then Bitspower fittings.
