Quick Disconnects. Who's got them?

[Jc61990]

Im thinking about installing a quick disconnect into my loop. the way my case is setup is kind of annoying. my radiator is on the side pannel, only place i was able to mount it, and from my radiator i got a tube right to the cpu, now this tube is short. so if i ever want to take my side pannel off it will be a challenge having no distance to move around the side pannel.


so, do these things restrict any flow?

ive seen some pics of them, and they look HUGE, does anyone have a pic of how big they actually are?

would anyone recommend any brand or maybe another idea for the situation?

Actually believe it or not, they do restrict water flow. Some people might argue this but it actually does. In my honest opinion, I don't really recommend them because after a while they start to wear down a little and its harder to reconnect them so you won't know for sure if you have them connected correctly.

They are somewhat nice becasue they are "quick connects" but I'd rather stick to some compression fittings.
