Suggestions for a P4 NB waterblock for 1/4" hose?

Anyone know anyplace that sells a half decent P4 northbridge waterblock which I can use with 1/4" hoses (Koolance Exos-Al, will DIY next time methinks)?

get any normal block with 1/2" barbs, then change the barbs from 1/2" to 1/4".
you want 1/4" BSPT -> 1/4" barbs

I couldnt find anywhere that acctually definatly sells them though, but instead this will probably work:

It might mean you have to stick your tubing in boiling water so it goes over them easyer

I think getting a normal 1/2" barb block is the best option as it allows you to upgrade. 1/4" barb blocks usually have a smaller BSPT thread so the barbs cant ust be changed to 1/2" ones....


or this DangerDen Z-Chipset Block (3/8")
from http://store.over-clock.com/DangerDen_Blocks.html

Aha.

Now showing my ignorance... what's BSPT/BSPP stand for then?

Sorry I linked the wrong one, http://www.coolercases.co.uk/details...bspt_brass.htm would work better..

Quick explination of bspp/t
BSP = British Standard Pipe thread
Of which there are two types,
BSPT = Taper
BSPP = Parrelell.

Parrelell is like so: |_|
Taper is like this: \_/
its not a good idea to mix P with T or you will be reling on only a few threads holding the barb on.

Theres also NTP threads which is the american standard, which just use a slightly different pitch and is not compatable with BSP stuff...

TVM :D
Was wondering if maybe you could maybe point me toward some sites with different ways to build a wc'd PC? I see there are rads that'll take >1 120mm fan - surely this isn't meant to go inside the case? More for an external Exos/Hydrocool type thing maybe?

I figured it would need major case modding and generally be a pain in the butt so went and bought the Exos-Al... still at least got my feet wet, as it were.

Is the common setup use a case with 120mm exhaust and hook up a 1x120 rad outside? Guess you only need to drill for in/out flow tubes. Think I've seen some with the rad at the front outside the chassis - guess that seems more sensible to get the coolest air over the rad.
