Water cooling my GPU

I was going to link you to the Tom's Snowdrift build thread but for some reason the pics have gone, luckily I saved them.

For the GPU one 240mm RAD 60mm thick in the bottom should be ok. For Pump and res you could either go with a all in one drive bay res and pump or go with a separate pump and res like Tom used in the Shadow H20 build.

For barbs/fittings there are two types, compression and barbed. Barbed ones you slide the tube over the top and the barb holds the tubing in place. With the compression fittings you place the tubing into the compression fitting and screw it so it clamps the tube. There are also 45 degree angled ones (the ones in the RAD at the bottom in the pic) 90 degree angled ones and strait ones. The 90* ones like the one fitted to the bottom of the GPU in the pic are to keep the tubing strait and make your loop neater. You just have to think about the way the tubing will go and decide whether you want the tubing going strait or at a 45/90* angle.

Hope that explains it a bit better for you i'm not to clued up on watercooling myself just what I have learned from Tom's vids and other peoples threads.
