So I thought these dual rotary BP 90s would fix my problem and well they did but that introduced new problems

Basically the tubing didn't line up with the holes I cut in the case perfectly, so thus the 90s. So the barbs now go directly in but with the Koolance Quick Disconnects, it's just way too big. I'm mainly at a loss of what to do with the outlet on the FuZion to the radiator. I'd prefer if the QD was more straight coming in and to the CPU block without all these weird bends but I'm guessing I'll need some different fittings on either the CPU block or after the QD or maybe both?

The line coming out from the radiator and back into my reservior is alright, I just need to make the tubing shorter but I'm not in the mood for draining everything.

So yeah, give me your thoughts on that CPU to Radiator line. If I need fittings, I'd prefer BP but whatever works.

And I'm aware those screws stick out a ton from the fan, too lazy to go buy some short ones

BTW, these Bitspower Dual Rotary 90s are pretty sexy though :p

It's sexy, lol

Anyway, just cut up the tubes to make them shorter and you won't have those weird bends?

I don't think shorter tubing alone will fix that one out from the CPU to the radiator because that QD isn't able to come in straight.

I'm thinking that putting a 45 on the CPU block would fix it though since then I'd have a sharp bend at the CPU block, rather than needing such a large bend since the tubing can't go tight. And then I can use compression fittings on my CPU block :)
