Need help with fittings

[Raino]

Hi guys i'm having a bit of an issue at the moment, wondering if anyone can help. I'm trying to add my Ares 2 Gpu to my loop. I have the EK blocks and a nice radiator with a few fittings;

What i'm trying to achieve is;

I've been looking into what fittings to get for hours and hours now, issue is room is kinda scarce inside the Ares case so i need to look into those fittings specifically because they will obviously fit. I'll be the first to admit i'm poo, it all gets a bit confusing for my small brain.

If anyone can recognise those fittings and help a dude out it would be HIGHLY appreciated, you have no idea how much. If you can recommend something that will do the job just as good, again appreciated.

Thanks a lot and merry Christmas to you all.

(hopefully i posted this in the right place)

Not much help but the bits outside the casing look like Bitspower fittings, can't help with the rest though I'm afraid, looks like a mix of stuff.

The red circle are the Bitspower, the green maybe EK?

why not contact the owner of that pic and ask for help? I'm guessing you found that pic on another forum.

Yup i was worried it'd be a mix of stuff, the ones circled in red i don't even want. It's the rest of it, i kinda did figure out some parts that might do the job on my own but i'm 75% sure there'd be issues and fittings are expensive!

Was the very first thing i did. It's been two months now with no reply so i decided i'd just give it a bash without all those fittings in hope the pipes would bend well enough (nowhere near) People on the ROG forums are quick to flash their fancy hardware but tend to disappear without trace once they've done so sadly.

Thanks for the response's though guys

by the looks they have used extender's and 90 degree fittings The green circle is compression fittings and hose and the external bitspower look like T fittings.

But exactly what sizes of each is hard to tell

I'm pretty sure the fittings in the green circle are standard EK compression fittings.

All of the internal 90° fittings are just that, hard to say which brand.

I think the short fittings immediately connected to both blocks are thread extenders or male to male fittings, also made by Bitspower: http://specialtech.co.uk/spshop/cus...Socket-Matt-Black--BP-MBWP-C40-pid-11245.html or http://specialtech.co.uk/spshop/cus...apter-Shiny-Silver--BP-WTP-C42-pid-15193.html

right side is the odd bit

These may not be exactly the right bits as the extension pieces come in different lengths and the connection pieces come in different thickness in between

Thanks dude, i have no idea what i'm doing shopping at overclockers for all my watercooling gear, this site is a hellova lot cheaper and has more special parts by the looks of things. Merry Christmas!

You my friend deserve a medal! Santa would be proud of you as a helper. Seriously thank you for going more into depth i think i should be able to find the parts now on my lonesome. Merry Christmas to you!

Thanks a bunch everyone.

No problem mate, aye SpecialTech is awesome for all your watercooling bits and bobs. Merry Christmas to you too!

your welcome
For the compression fittings I'd suggest going with something small like this or this just for the fact there isn't a lot of room in there

Well Specialtech isn't open again until January 2nd so that gives me plenty of time to study exactly what fittings will be best. Think i may have already figured it out to be honest.

Thanks again everyone and hope Santa was Kind to you all!
