Tubing

Guys,

Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I can get 1/2" ID Clear tubing from. As ocuk are out of stock and I am about to place an order for a new system which is pointless without tubing

Cleeecooo · 26 Jan 2012 at 15:37

We can't mention competitors.

Just get 7/16 tubing with 1/2 barbs

Franco_cov · 26 Jan 2012 at 16:03

i have what i believe to be 1/2" barbs so thought i needed 1/2" ID tubing?

Cleeecooo · 26 Jan 2012 at 16:04

no, with 1/2 barbs you can use 7/16 tubing and you won't need clips

Franco_cov · 26 Jan 2012 at 16:06

oooo no clips are you serious i be worried sick lol

Cleeecooo · 26 Jan 2012 at 16:09

Trust me.

Franco_cov · 26 Jan 2012 at 16:10

can u still put clips on anyway

Cleeecooo · 26 Jan 2012 at 16:10

yes, but it's pointless

Franco_cov · 26 Jan 2012 at 16:13

would you have to heat the tube then to use this so that it fits over the barbs

Cleeecooo · 26 Jan 2012 at 16:14

I didn't need to, but some people do

Alternatively phone OCuK and ask them when the hose you want is coming back into stock...

Or post in the CS section.

do you know if the frio air cooler that comes with the msi z79 board can handle a 4ghz on the 3630x i7 chip?

are you seriously comparing a custom water loop to a low-end air cooler?

i would REALLY not put that cooler on that chip at that overclock

+1!

If you can afford X79, you can afford decent cooling!

i suppose your right after all will have a 7970 on air as it is

Franco_cov · 26 Jan 2012 at 17:07

ok may have found some 1/2" mask tubing now what clips would i use the following clips with it?

Cleeecooo

I'm probably going to choose Tygon tube.

Isn't there a danger of getting splits on the 7/16 tubing? over time? - whats the longest you've ran your system on these? I mean the clips cost is negligible so going for 1/2 ID won't make much of a difference. I'd like to keep my loop running for at least 2 years.

tygon is the best so it has the least chance of splitting
