Water Cooling Setup: 3/8" tubing for 1/2" barbs? and how often do I change the Coolant?

I have heard that when water cooling, a few people use smaller tubing on their barbs to keep leaks from occurring at these points. Is it recommended to use this sort of system, or should i do the obvious and math the hose size to barb size?



also, how aften should you change the coolant on a liquid cooling system? I was planning to use distilled water as coolant, so how often should I change it? Would it be better to use a premade colling solution such as Fluid-XP?



thanks for the help,
