New build help

Ok Remmy. I think I understand what you are saying, however I respectfully disagree. If I remember correctly, we are dealing with circumference. So that at any point around the circle, there is a 3/16 " difference between the inner and outer circle. No ? So the Monsoon fittings are designed for a tube wherein the difference between the inner and outer circle is only 1/16 ". No ?

But we're not dealing with circumference, it Inner Diameter and Outer Diameter


Sorry it's in paint lol

If ID and OD match. Don't worry.

Yes, you are correct on that. Sorry.
So if you have two circles,one inside the other, which are equidistant all around, then the difference between the two will also be constant. Doesn't matter if it is a tube or a fitting. No ? So if you take a measurement at any point inside the outer circle to the inner circle, you will get 3/16". So, on the tube that distance is 3/16". However, on the fitting, that distance is only 1/16".

If ID and OD match. Don't worry.

Thanks for that NBD. I decided to change up my order. I believe I'll go with a pump & tube res. instead. Can't make up my mind on rigid acrylic or flex tube.

Sounds good and welcome

NBD, any ideas on a horizontal res set up. Maybe to be mounted on the rad on the floor ?

 

[NeverBackDown]

Personally it all depends on the case and if it can be made to llok good and not just stock in there.

 

[coffeefoot]

Yes, I agree. I was thinking in terms of res. and the pump. i'm having a hard time locating a res that I can use horizontally. I think if I can find the right res., finding the pump will be easier.

 

[NeverBackDown]

Which case exactly?

 

[coffeefoot]

Oh, Sorry. I have a NZXT Switch 810 coming.

 

[NeverBackDown]

Ok great choice!

I'm not a watercooling expert but i know what looks good and IMO for this case it looks better to have a Bay Res/Pump.

 

[coffeefoot]

Yea. That was my first choice. Much less expensive also !

 

[NeverBackDown]

Then go for it but if you are on a budget keep in mind nothing about this hobby is cheap so either do it right or not at all. Good luck!
