I'm considering this active backplate to duo with my Alphacool Eisblock Aurora Acryl GPX-N RTX 3090/3080 Suprim X, however I have a some concerns regarding the 5/3mm barb fittings on the block and how they are sealed off.
It says the block has been pressure tested for 0.8 bar and I know that with either a D5 or DDC pump I'm likely never to go above that, however I'm worried about if there's a sudden heat and pressure build-up in the loop on an extremely warm summers day, could actually make this thing go "pop". I guess my fears are just that and this has been tested of course, yet I'm wondering if there's room to put some tiny zip-ties around the barbs for a bit more safety?
Also is the Alphacool 5/3mm EDPM tubing compatible with this, considering its probably a bit more soft than PVC?
