tube size for WC

This might be a silly question but does the tube size make any differnce to a water cooling setup?

Not really. The bigger the better, but it's a very small increase in performance. I wouldn't get anything smaller than 3/8" inner diameter tubing as this may simply be too small.

ok, cheers for the help

Mate 1/2 looks so much better than 3/8, looks so much more beefy, bigger tubings gonna be shifting more water at once so it will perform a little better too.

Remember size isn't everything, it's what you do with it

Sure that should read "size isnt everything..."

I use a 1/2" setup but if were looking into watercooling again i would seriously look at the smaller diameter Aquacomputer stuff. It looks bloody great and performs extremely well.
