Trying to connect 1/2 to 3/8 with a converter. If you have a better idea i will appreciate it.





I will try to finish my build this next week. Thanks for viewing it.

Seems odd that ASUS would assume that everyone still uses 3/8" tubing in their systems, why not have the mobo supplied with just G1/4" fittings instead?

As for the adapter; while not the prettiest, it seems to do the job, only other alternative I found at dazmode was this http://www.dazmode.com/store/index.p...roducts_id=789

Looking at the (lower) picture of the 3/8" outlet on the mobo; you may want to try to push the tubing down a bit further, so that a clamp (or zip tie) can be attached.

so the barb is non changeble?
lookin forward to seeing this up and running
how do you like the board so far?

Why not use 3/8 fittings and tube just for this section? You have different diameter tube anyway, so what harm extra half a ft. of tube will do?

As far as I can tell (reading through the build log at ROG), Ban custom made this fitting for the 3/8" outlet, as he did with a majority of the build components

Just finished my 1st watercooled pc. It took a weeks for me just to finish it and still i want to look it better especially the psu cover. Is acrylic sheet good for psu cover? and what tool to cut and bond it? Thanks.

Kool looking rig.

Acrylic works very well, MEK ( methyl ethylene ketone ) solvent cement bonds it together. Most small plastic companies will cut it for you or use a jigsaw with a sharp 14-18 tooth blade. I made mine with a couple angled reinforcements and covered it in Di-Noc carbon vinyl.

Yes it will but it is a little on the thin side and will need a little reinforcement. I just realized you are a neighbor, I`m at Bathurst and Steeles if you need a piece of 3/16 cut you could go to Plastic World at Allen road and Sheppard. I could even give you a piece of that Di-Noc vinyl if you want as well as a few re-inforcements and proper solvent. Make sure you make pieces a little oversize for re-inforcements.

Nice job Spirit.

What fan have you got on your case exhaust. I like the message in the lights!

do you not have clamps on your mobo fittings the 3/8 to half?
