Water cooling fitting question

[Jordan08041997]

I'm brand new to custom water cooling loops and currently trying to find out what to buy and was wondering if my fitting is compatible with my tubing can I use something like this 90 degree compression fitting http://www.performance-pcs.com/bitspower-g1-4-matte-black-dual-rotary-90-degree-compression-fitting-ultimate-id-3-8-od-1-2.html
for my gpu and cpu water block if not what would you recommend?

You didn't list specific tubing for the compatibility check, but this sticky would be a good read/reference:

The fitting & tubing section address the ID/OD measurements (then just use metric to english converter if you need help with mm to in).

I understand ID/OD it is compatible with my tubing but I was wondering if I could use this for my gpu and cpu water blocks

The vast majority use G1/4, but just look to verify. This is usually listed in a spec sheet somewhere, or if not, call the manufacturer to check.

I happened to use that very same line of Bitspower fittings in a build very recently (though I used barb fittings with matte black clamps), and it worked wonderfully.

Personally I prefer this style rotary, for coming off of the GPU water block because it has more positioning adjustability to get your tubing aimed where you need it.

Plus the fitting I linked is a slow curve 90, and not a tight curve 90 like you linked, the tighter curve 90s each add some flow restriction for every hard 90 turn, so I just stay away from those.

The G1/4 threaded end screws into the water block threaded in or out ports, the other end is a vinyl compression fitting that fits vinyl tubing that is 3/8 ID 1/2 OD.

Yes the fittings can be used with CPU, GPU, Reservoir, and Radiator, running G1/4 threaded fitting ports.
