Hi everyone. I am planning to build my first loop. I saw this image and fell in love with the design. I was wondering if any experienced builders know which size of acrylic tubes are around the cpu blocks. Thanks

The tubes around the CPU look like 3/8" with bitspower matte black compression fittings, not bitspower crystal link because then it would be using multilink fittings at the end of the tubes. The all black links are a combination of bitspower extenders.

Yes, they're regular tubes that are just short, direct runs.

 

As Marto said, if you want acrylic you'll need to look for Bitspower crystal link with multilink or Primochill's rigid acrylic with ghost compressions.
