I wouldn't worry so much about the tempered glass scratching. Should take some effort to actually leave visible scratches. I'd worry more about it shattering. laugh.gif

NZXT Claims it's tempered glass. But my NZXT Switch has not *thank god* had any scratches so far, same for my friends Phantom 410. Was the scratches on the Phantom cases bad?

not visible laa but when if u close up and check can see. More like those line appear when u use rubber to rub on glass that type of effect. smile.gif

Kidz1995 all the best on reviving your gpu! smile.gif
Pristine mind I ask something? Usually for normal tubings right? Compression fittings are like first put ur tube into barblike things then got one right on outside it that can screw it down to secure it ma right?
So compression fittings for Arcylic tubings is not the same? As when I drain my loop it came off quite easily by just pulling it out the arcylic tubing.

lol. plexi doesn't even come close to tempered glass.
First statement: correct

Second statement: correct

The method of install is different.

Acrylic tubes are held in place and sealed with o-rings. Flex tubes are held in place by the ridges and spikes of the barb, which grip onto the tubing which seals it.
*
ohhh no wonder~~~ I tot it is same. So in theory compression fittings are actually more secured than barbs then? smile.gif

Actually, it's not completely fair to compare it like that. But generally yeah, compressions are more secure (and also look better) because of the outer compression ring which makes the tubing clamp down harder on the barbs.

If you really want to go into details, there are many different types of designs for the barb section of the compression fitting and normal barb fittings. Not all manufacturers make them the same and some are better/worse than others.

haha alright. Thanks for the insight. If my wc stuff is not gonna be sold I might get some flex tube and compression fittings. Arcylic is nice but I don't have tools to bend it and asking people do ain't that cheap sad.gif

Acrylic is really nice if your rig is already set for the long run and you don't see yourself upgrading or changing out parts for a long time. But flex tube is the best in terms of flexibility (maintenance/to work with/upgrading). Only issue is the occasional plasticiser nonsense.
*
totally agree with u. Draining the loop is also pain in the a**. Btw wanna ask if those wc stuff NVR used for a few months can be still used back?

You should have arranged for a drain port to be made. laugh.gif

Sure, why not. Just make sure they're dried out before storage. keep with silica gel if you must.

sillica gel? Why that ah? And anywhere can buy those gel?

A rinse usually is enough.

alright, for the coolant can I just use distilled water? as just for temporary coolant like 1month or so. Referring to top post I might need to buy biocide?

Stress test went well  biggrin.gif
Hehehe. Luck is on my side tonight  tongue.gif

Thanks for the help guys. Really appreciate it.
I will post my noobie rig tomorrow. Everything done except for casing fans. Would it be a huge improvement in cooling and airflow if I upgrade my stock CM case fans with Corsair AF120?
*
Good 2 hear that ur gpu running back again~! biggrin.gif
Does airflow really that important in a case? Yes, in my setup a positive pressure in a proper airflow managed to get down from 40C to 33C using fanless heatsink.
Ermm Does Corsair AF120 works better than other? That I'm not so sure but usually I think people go for AF120 due to its aesthetics, do check out on reviews regarding its sound tho. Don't be like me regret getting my corsair fan haha. But it does look well. ^^
