Re: Help with a Asrock Z77 Formula OC
i have looked around too i found out not sure if it is true some say that it is ID 10mm -
Re: Help with a Asrock Z77 Formula OC
yes, it's 10mm might be 9 actually. they are smaller than normal and the tube does not sit very tight. I would go with 3/8 ID if you can (which is about 9.5mm)
having said that, I'm on water with 10mm ID koolance tubing and clips.. the clips are pretty loose but no leaks so far.
No you cannot remove the barbs. it was brought up to Nick Shih, and he said he'll fix that for the "next board"

Re: Help with a Asrock Z77 Formula OC
I'm not running a lot of pressure, so I'm not personally worrying about it (I'm experienced with this sort of thing, so I feel I can make a qualified judgement in my case). But I would recommend some sort of clamp, I wouldn't even try to guess how much pressure would be too much.
It IS loose enough that it *could* come off with pressure.
There, that is my formal warning lol.Comment
