Which tubing?

[ChrisD.]

Wanting to do a build with clear tubing and coloured fluid, which size/brand of tubing should I go for? Will be going in a Phantek's case, cooling a CPU, and two 290X's.

if your going for standard tubing people say good things about primochill stuff. It doesn't seem to leech as fast as other types.
size wise it is personal preference mainly i use 7/16 at the moment because it is a nice middle ground of tubing size

OcUK haven't any in stock and haven't for a while.

Primochill would be my first choice, then Masterkleer. I prefer 10/13 tubing but as long as it is a standard size, you wont suffer any performance issues because of its size.

What about 19/13? I've seen someone use it in the case I want and they said it's great.

I like bigger tubing but tight bends become harder with the much thicker tubing. Smaller tubing kinks a bit more but with a bit of planning, you can get the tightest bends from it and you never have any space issues when using the smaller fittings on some of the trickier blocks like universal GPU blocks.

TBH pick whichever looks best and once it is in your hands, getting it to go where you want to is a synch! If you eventually use a universal block, a few g 1/4 inch male to female adapters would solve any problems if you cant fit your fittings onto the block..

What's the XSPC tubing like?

I'm using 7/16" / 5/8" and I have previously used 1/2" / 3/4" and I can say that they are both very good for non-kinking however the 7/16" / 5/8" is much more flexible. I'm also using it in an Enthoo Primo
