hey all.. i had bought a watercooling setup a while ago... at the time my thoughts were set on a innovatek setup so i went and purchased one altho i never used it. now i want to set it up and use it but i just realized that it uses 5/16" for the fittings which upset me a bit being it most likely wont give me the cooling id hoped for... my question being is there a place i can buy new fittings for it to make it either 3/8" or 1/2"? right now i have just a dual rad and the tank o matic... also a cpu block which im gonna upgrade anyway and also a eheim 1046 pump. any help is greatly appreciated thanks everyone.

Well, if the barbed end is 5/16" then the other end going into the block likely has just as small of an ID. In which case even if you could find a 3/8" or 1/2" barb, it would be reduced again to the 5/16" which would make the effort worthless.
