hi there

i was wanted to know if this block would be a good buy for a cheap cpu block?

i recently had to replace my motherboard so i just bought an el-cheapo one but my koolance 200G cpu block wont fit cause its too big

so im just looking for a cheap cpu block thats smaller than the koolance one ... i hate having my exos just laying in the box

It should work just as well as your Koolance 200G-CPU block except for the fact that your Koolance uses 6mm ID tubing and the Zalman uses 8mm ID tubing so you'll need to make a plan about connectors to get you from 6mm-8mm

Just take boiling water, stick the pipes in it for a min or 2 and the push them on, it will work.

I assume you don't stick your hand in the boiling water? Cos then I'd rather do it another way.

I would of added "stick the pipes and your hands into boiling water" then, but after that you would have great difficulty trying to push the pipes onto the block.
I've even put 6mm tubing onto a 10mm barb like this.

Talk to syndicate if you have anything, coz he can get it cheaper than anyone else, even 6 - 10 mm converters...
