Iggy Posted July 5, 2004 Posted July 5, 2004 The middle one is for inlet, and the outer to are for outlet. Somehow it's more effective than a traditional 2 barb waterblock. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

spectrascope Posted July 6, 2004 Posted July 6, 2004 there like a dollar 1.50usd at your local hardware store Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkScorpion Posted July 6, 2004 Posted July 6, 2004 You can pick the Y-splitters at your hardware store like spectra said. But double check, it SHOULD have come with one since you bought a kit. If not, you shouldE-Mail them and ask you if its supposed to come with one, it doesnt seem like a kit from DTek would come incomplete Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Split423 Posted July 6, 2004 Posted July 6, 2004 its more efficient to have the center one as the inlet and the other two as outlets because then the water is directly cooling the cpu die rather than heating up on the waterblock before it actually gets to the center. i.e. lower temps Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkScorpion Posted July 6, 2004 Posted July 6, 2004 Yeah, alot of companies started using that method, saying its the best, but Swiftech and DD took it a step further with the TDX blocks and MCW-6000's Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
broooooooce Posted July 6, 2004 Posted July 6, 2004 The middle one is for inlet, and the outer to are for outlet. Somehow it's more effective than a traditional 2 barb waterblock. This is not always true. It depends on the design. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkScorpion Posted July 6, 2004 Posted July 6, 2004 It usually is though, because the water is hitting the area of the block that is directly over the CPU and all the hot water is getting out faster because of the 2 outlet barbs.
