I've already built a rig that has two 6990's but its very loud and hot..I've been looking into water cooling the rig...i have all the parts besides the fittings....i was wondering if compression fittings are better than clamps and vice versa?
Because the last thing i want is a leak onto the cards.

Compression fittings are easier to deal with more or less, though I've had no trouble with tube clamp fittings either.
Also I believe you watercool with Distilled Water. Leaks are bad yes but Distilled water inst a conductor until it becomes dirty?
You want to use distilled water with just a touch of anti-freeze of some kind to prevent stuff from growing in your tubes. You should stick to a similar metal across all blocks in the system or you run a risk of severe corrosion as aluminum and copper react badly, which the anti-freeze will help out there too a bit.
