I was leaning in the direction of laying one on its side and one standing as usual. That will leave 2 barbs up top and two on the side, so the actual "heads" dont clash! Should be able to continue using straight fittings!

do you mean in a cross pattern?

Oh well you are screwed without 90* fittings then. You will see when you try to connect the hoses straight on with a fan and a header from another rad they you wont have the room to attach it!

Even with this rad....http://www.jab-tech.com/xcart/product_images/detailed/d_2527.jpg

Unless one rad is 90* from the other you have to use 90*'s...not the best plan IMHO!

Edit: The link you posted it to a 2X120 rad...you are laying 2 of those in your case?

I think if you rotate the rads 180 deg you will be fine without the 90s.
(and the masterclear is not very flexible)

that would work so i only needed 2 90s and those would be on the front rad short of punching the tubing out the front i cant get around it

swapped for some tygon R-3400

If you rotate the rad 180* it will be in the exact position you started...the rad is a mirror image of itself on a 45* cut through it.


EDIT: or do you mean in a back to back sort of arrangement?

im thinking take my original image and face the front rad so the fittings faced the other rad. on the front rad put a 90 degree fitting to the side of the case and run the inside most rads top fitting to it and on the bottom fitting a 90 again but point it out to the side and run it towards the mobo tray and run it up to my cpu block

EDIT: or do you mean in a back to back sort of arrangement?

i think thats what he meant but it wont fit in the front of my case

Get the Tygon R-3603 ... is a pleasure to bend it and see that no crushes appear

IDK i payed through my teeth ($3.50 a foot) for Tygon...6 months later its cloudy. Also I agree it wont kink, but I have tried to make a couple of turns ion SLI that it flattened right out on.

Not all that impressed for the money to be honest...Going with red tubing next, something new!

 

[cdawall]

i was looking at the R-3400 mainly because its black

how much comes for that $1 or whatever?

Sad to hear that, i have two hard bends together on the last rad->res plug and no one kinked never, i can only say good things about Tygon though i never tested a SLI/X-Fire plug, i'll tell you

Well on further examination , your "Quantity: 2" will leave that oh shit in place upon arrival. I say around 10ft is usually good. get 15 if you think you may change things up a bit after the initial setup!

@ SirKeldon...if not for the clouding , for my CPU it works great. I love that it stays soft, I have used a lot of tubing before for fishtanks/pumps. It always got rockhard in 6 months. It may have had something to do with the PC ICE coolant I was using as well. Who knows?

That was my first assumption, but you missed the part where he links to his type of rads. They have a barb in opposite corners, no like ours!

Also on the links to the tubing...I am looking to nab the red varient on my next major buy(offsets shipping a bit)!
