recommended hose and fittings for loop

[skinneyb]

hi all i am after some suggestions from my understanding hose and fitting size dose not have much effect if any to your loop it just depends on your personal preference and making every thing look in proportion i am going to water cool my cpu 2 x gpu and ram i no water cooling ram make little or no difference but it looks nice my question is what size hose and fittings would look best i have a 800d so lots of room i was thinking of using 3/8 id and 1/2 but was just wondering what you guys think as i want to keep it clean looking

kind regards and thanks in advance

When choosing fittings, you'll want to consider the total width of the fitting in places such as CPU block as sometimes there won't be enough room.

I use 1/2 tubing in my 800d, I like it personally but try to buy high flexible tubing..

I went for 7/16 with a combination of 1/2 barbs and 7/16 compressions. Compressions on show, barbs on everything you can't see.
