    I was having all sorts of problems with my mobo chipset block, and he was able to sort me out.

    I am thinking of getting another loop for the 6800u, would a 120rad do the job?

    Yes, it do.
    But I would advise you to rebuild everything to 1/2" tubing for the sake of simplicity, effectivity and nice resulting temps. I have. Never ever ever going to even think about 3/8" again. Geeee... 3/8" suxxx.

    3/8" is fine, and it's easier to route. I'd stick to one tubing size though, multiple sizes is just a headache.

    Wink

    Just because you can't find a convertor? That's silly
    I remember clearly that there is sold 3/8" fittings with NTP thread 1/2" witch will IIRC fit well into the DD block...

    http://www.mcmaster.com/
    Hit seach for "1/2" fittings", then hit "About Barbed Tube Fittings" and you want these:
    5463K461


    (the 3/8" one on the right is the one you want, the left one is for 1/2" - that is what you have there already)

    So, all you want to do is buy two of them and screw them instead of these default ones Easy

    thanks for the help but this wont work for the following reasons

    1- if I am ordering from the USA, I know of products that actually works, but the delivary is around $20 alone, so I dont want to

    2- the thread on the block are 16/8 UNF so those stuff wont fit

    3- my tubing is 1/4 not 3/8

    regards
