Cooling Swiftech MCP600

There's no way you can get 1/2" tubing over 3/4" outlets (I mean, come on!). Still you an put 3/4" tubing from res to inlet to prevent cavitation issues. Works a treat on my setup.

 

don't forget they are 3/4" OD not ID - about 1/2" ID apparently...

Cathar got 1/2" ID clearflex over them so it can be done (with the assistance of some boiling water and needle nose pliers...)

 

i got 1/2" clearflex over a stock 1250 intake with boiling water, brute force and patience

 

3/4" OD fittings would imply 3/4" ID tubing.

not if you're prepared to stretch it by means of boiling water or whatever...

3/4" OD is slightly smaller than the stock 1250 intake fitting (22mm)

 

My point is that 3/4" OD fittings are not - "about 1/2" ID apparently"

It means the fittings are designed for 3/4" ID tubing.

That's not to say you won't be able to get some tube varieties over with a little persuasion.

8-ball you have misunderstood my post then i think - the 3/4" OD fittings themselves have an ID of approximately 1/2" (according to Cathar....)

it'd be easier with 5/8" or 3/4" ID tubing, but it's not as easy to find...

 

Ah, I see what you're getting at.

Yes, if you can get 1/2" tubing over 3/4" fittings, then there will be little reduction in diameter passing through the fittings, thus reducing restriction.

I wish you luck trying to.

 

did you completely miss my post
i've done it, its not that hard

 

bought a mcp600 from frozencpu, shipping was nearly as much as the pump, shipped 7 weeks ago... still waiting.

 

how much???

Maybe I wont be importing one of these then

must find alternative uk supplier...

 

umm.. frozencpu not using USPS?
still waiting for a supplier for the MCP600.. the DD 12v pump is already available at over-clock uk but what worries me is the noise
