Hey all
I just bought the swiftech chipset cooler to go with the rest of my swiftech cooling setup. I am currently using 1/2" ID and 3/4" OD hose and with the 2 hoses I can't fit the clamps on the cooler because the bards are to close together. I'm planning on getting some 5/8" OD vinyl hose from the hardware store but swiftech's 5/8" clamps are to small and their 3/4" clamps are way to big to fit that hose. I think the metal 5/8" hose clamps would fit but they're to damn expensive, $1.75 a piece and I need 12... Does anyone know if there is an alternative I could use that would be just as successful? I thought of wire ties but they're hard to get off, on the other hand taking hose off in the past generally involves splitting it at the bard ends because it's so tight.
Any feedback would be appreciated
