barb size question

    hey all,

    I'm building a water cooling set up for my dad but things are starting to get mixed up in my head.

    I have a swiftech apogee and maze 4 gpu block. They both have 3/8' inch fittings so i presume thats ID diameter?
    I'm using a pump, resevoir and radiator from an asetek water cooling kit. And they have 10mm fittings. I'm concerned as i think they're 10mm OD fittings. So the problem is if i buy 3/8' tubing will that be 3/8' ID or OD? cause I know 3/8' is roughly 10mm.
    The real question is, are all these parts compatible and if they aren't can i change the fitting on any off the parts to make it compatible?
    The pump is a hydor L20 and the resevoir is a RSV02
    any help will be much appreciated

    Should work fine, it may be a bit tight getting the tubing onto the barbs but not by much. Make sure to use tubing thats 10mil as the quick connect fittings are fussy about larger OD sizes.

    3/8" will be ID, unless otherwise stated.
