Can you advise me which of your fittings are necessary to convert the Aquaduct 360 XT mark III's fittings to my G 1/4 components and my tubbing with 1/2" ID 3/4" OD.

With this information I will be able to purchase [order and pay in advance] my mark III and have the fittings shipped at the same time as the Aquaduct.

Thank you for your help.

Thank you so much for giving this 78 year old man a wonderful laugh! All of the research that I have done point out that the major cause of resitance through the tubbing is in fact the ID of the hose [all other factors being equal]. Many of those doing these studies point out in every instance that bigger tubbing is apparently an American preference whereas the European users prefer smaller ID. My case is a huge Lian Li and I have abundant room. Furthermore, my intent is to only cool my CPU and GPU.

I must remember your metaphor "garden hose" to describe my grandson's rig!

Thank you for leading me to the proper fitting.

You obviously are much more knowledgable than I concerning liquid cooling components and fittings. Let me share with one and all the major components I am committed to install: [1] Aquaduct 360 XT mark III - a G 1/8 thread configuration; [2] Aqua Computer cuplex XT di CPU water block - a G 1/4 thread configuration; [3] Danger Den GPU 4870 water block - a G 1/4 thread configuration; [4] Bitspower Black Freezer AIX48NSE - ASUS Rampage Extreme water block - a G 1/4 thread configuration.

My Lian Li full tower has the necessary two holes for running my tubbing from the Aquaduct into the three components.

Since all three components [CPU, GPU and NSE waterblocks] come with G 1/4 thread standard it made more sense to me to search for the most effecient-effective [water tight] set of fittings to convert the G 1/8 threads on the Aquaduct mark III to G 1/4 threads.

Furthermore, I have already purchased the three water blocks!

Do you believe these components will work well with the mark III?

Thank you so much.

I have NOT purchased any of the fittings yet because I wanted to resolve the G 1/8 to G 1/4 issue first. That is the purpose of this search. I have been utilizing the following sites in the USA in my search for fittings: Dangere Den [their Fat Boy gets rave reviews], Performance, and my peresonal favorite, Sidewinder.

Stephan, I appreciate your response. Aqua Computer will be more than pleased by the general response in the USA market place. It is at times like this that I truly wish that we [USA] had converted to the metric system as we had planned to do way back in the 1960's. But as you are well aware we continue to struggle along on the ancient 12" = 1' system!

It is my intent to purchase my Mark III on April 1st and at that time I will purchase the necessary adapter from the Aqua Computer store so they ship together.

Since I have your attention at this moment would you please post on a reply email the exact item number of the proper fitting [or the web page link to the item] that will properly convert to a G 1/4 thread configuration?

Thank you so much one and all. This forum must be ranked by me to be among the most helpful and professional I have encountered in my search for liquid cooling solutions. I am truly looking forward to my purchase!
