alternatives to watercooling tubing?

rjk · 20 Oct 2008 at 16:55

hi - i have spent the past few days [and a great deal of pneumonic's time

]
looking for some white gloss tubing for watercooling my rig

i originally wanted black tubes with gloss white coils - the coils were a no go as i coulnt find them

so after seeing a nice build from another forum that pneumonic linked me to i decided that white tubes with black coils would be alright too

problem is
i cant find any white tubing apart from dangerden and its not the size i want

so im asking - could i use some other type of tube [that is white]
[one that is not made for pc watercooling - but would do the job?]

it seems that everything is good as long as you want 'generic gaming pc uv blue'

anyone suggest anything in 1/2" or 7/16" ID

[if you could find a brand of anti kink coils in gloss white to suggest that would be brilliant]

Use normal tubing and fill your loop with milk?

id give it a week and you would have cheese in the loop instead of liquid

MikeHunt79 · 20 Oct 2008 at 21:18

Thinking about it tip-ex could also be used instead of milk of you're not a fan of cheese.

mmorpheus1 · 20 Oct 2008 at 21:51

how about hydraulic hose ???

never used it for water cooling but i would guess it should do the job...
