Hose size

Hello Guys,

I have another question for you, what size hose is optimal for water cooling build or is it dependent on other components? size of loop etc?

Thanks

It doesn't really matter. Larger hose normally looks better, but smaller hose is generally easier to route without kinking.

But it doesn't have any noticeable effect on temperatures.

11/16 is the most popular choice. The 19mm hose can often look a bit bulky in some builds.

no difference in regards to temp, tho it can more restrictive and affect the pressure, dont quote me on this as im no expert, but iirc thats what i read in reply to the same question
