Hey folks, quick question for anyone running one of these cases with the water-cooling kit designed for it…
 
I want  to do a Hackintosh with the Hadron Hydro case, & I want to use the water-cooling for both the GPU & CPU. 
 
Core parts list:
 
ASUS ROG Maximus VII Impact motherboard
Intel i7 4790K CPU
16GB Crucial Ballistix Elite RAM (2x8GB DIMMs)
250GB Samsung 850 EVO 2.5" SSD (OS & apps)
2TB Seagate Barracuda 3.5" HDD (Stuff)
EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti (baseline reference model)
 
For water cooling, I want to stick with EK parts:
 
EK-FB ASUS M6I monoblock; acetal + nickel
EK-FC Titan X full-cover block; acetal + nickel
EK-FC Titan X backplate; black
EK-XRES 100 DDC 3.2 PWM reservoir/pump combo
EK-DDC heatsink housing; black
EK-Uni Holder w/DDC add-on
Asst. EK compression fittings & 45/90 degree angle adapters; for 3/8" ID x 5/8" OD tubing; black
PrimoChill PrimoFlex Advanced LRT tubing; 3/8"ID x 5/8" OD; clear
PrimoChill anti-kink coil; for 5/8" OD tubing; black
 
Now that we know what is going into this system, the real question…
 
What are the dimensions/measurements of the two extender fittings that come with the Hadron Hydro water-cooling kit…?!?
 
I want to replace them with fittings from EK, just to keep everything uniform, and to keep the black fittings thing going…
 
I would LOVE to be able to use an EK rad as well, but the way the Hadron Hydro case is set up seems to lock you into the EVGA rad unless you want to start cutting up the case; which I do not. The thing that really sucks is that I am basically paying about 160 bucks or so for a simple 240mm rad with 'special snowflake' fitting locations. The rest of the kit will not be used at all!
 
I wonder, if I can get EK fittings to make the connection between rad & cooling loop, maybe I can get EVGA to sell me JUST the rad…?!?
 
Cross-posting this around the web, looking for answers…! ;^p

    I suggest you to use 10/13mm not 13/16mm because space in case.
    Temps will be same and EVGA use similar size for their compression fittings because of that maybe is better to stay with that size.
    If I find information for your question I will post.

    3/8" ID x 5/8" OD is equal to 10mm x 16mm, not 13mm x 16mm; same 3/8" ID as the thinner tubing, but with a thicker tube wall. I feel the thicker tube wall will help avoid kinks or collapsing tubing, and the 1/8" larger size is not going to fill the case.
     
    What I am really looking for is measurements of the two extended length 90 degree fittings that EVGA send out with the Hadron Hydro water-cooling kit; I would like to replace these with EK fittings if possible.
     
    Basically, the only thing I will be using from the EVGA kit would be the radiator. If I absolutely HAVE to, I will use the two aforementioned external fittings, but would rather not have to…

    Did you checked other loops in Hadron... There are very nice pictures of custom water cooling in Hadron case over net
    Maybe you get some idea what to do and is it possible to fit something you plan.
