Elbows!

[Mr. Smith]

I need four 90 deg elbows, lowest profile possible.

I guess I need some like the aqua computer ones that screw directly into the block a la:

But I need 1/2" barbs, those look like some small crazy connection.

Can anyone link me? :worship:

 

[Ham]

Why cant you use the DD ones + some G14-G14 threads?

ala this + this

 

[Mr. Smith]

See picture, space between gpu and fan/rad is tiiiight.

Basically, the blocks go on the gpu cores (3870X2) and I think instantly they may be too tall and will hit the fans so the elbows need to be low profile...

 

[Mr. Smith]

C'mon lads, I need help coming up with a solution... No one got any ideas?

Maybe?

Maybe?

Are they g1/4 both ends? So one end in the block and I can screw my barbs in the other?

Might have to top mount the rad. PITA cooling this X2 'on the cheap'...

 

[Bungral]

So did you get rid of your X2 and get another or is it the same? What made you decide to go with the X2 and not the GTX then?

 

[Mr. Smith]

My 1st X2 was fooked... RMA'd, new one arrives Monday.

It benches really well which I obviously like so +1

It performs better than my GT so +1

It is pretty much as good/same/slightly worse than a GTX/ultra IRL, priced similar so, see 1st point...

It will do until the real next gen arrives.

Anyway, ELBOWS DAMN IT! See pic, see problem, make answer!

I'm sure I wouldn't find much that you haven't already

No mate, like the pic in the OP, hams/marcus's suggestion may work... IDK

 

[FarFarAway]

Those are what the pic in the OP is, one end is an 1/2 barb and the other end is 1/4" BSPP

 

[Mr. Smith]

Jim suggested going external with one of these and get it annodised black by wcuk... Free up space inside but not sure if a pa120.3 will fot or how it will look!

 

[Marcus]

I've got a set of those Aqua Computer mounts here with me already (well back at home anyway).

Want me to try fitting them onto a PA120.3 when I get back?
