I wondered if there was a special tool for tightening them when i saw the bitspower ones a few months back.
defo much better than ordinary compression fittings  |

| Cant get the backplates on with the gpu in the loop. have to remove the heat spreaders that came with it too which would be a pain in the ass. Maybe on my next loop upgrade (which would prolly be new gpu anyway)... |
