Tubing

Hi,
i have been reading that there is hardly any difference in the temp's with the different size tubing and seen as i have 8/10 and was wondering whether to change that to 13/10 but is it worth bothering or just stick with what i have already?

Is there any reason to change it?

It's more of a looks thing tbh (I personally wouldn't bother)

Is it broken? If not then I would leave it.

If you've got money burning a hole in your pocket then change it. But it means new tube, fittings, fluids + testing time.

Its purely a visual thing.

Ok thanks, i was just thinking that bigger diameter tubing better water flow, that's all.

It's true but in modern water cooling it isn't enough to make a shred of difference, in the old days when some manufacturers were using 8mm tubing and weak sauce pumps it was, but that time has long passed.
