I bought this AIO which has 30cm of tubing length. I built a custom case and i need tubing that is closer to 40-50cm maybe 35cm bare minimum. Is there a way to extend the tubing or do I need to suck it up and find a whole new one with long tubing?

It's great for planning new builds, getting a reference on where to start, or seeing what you need to play what games.

It also shows what I recommend for upgrading your stuff!

If its not designed to be taken apart like that, i really wouldnt do it due to the various issues. You can certainly try it but draining, redoing the tubing, fixing etc all can be a pain. Id honestly redo the case a bit rather then the AIO

the case was about $300 vs the $60 or so the AIO was. The case was pretty cramped for space too so that's not hapenning

Would be very curious what case you got for $300 and you can only fit a lower end 120mm AIO?? Taking that $60 and getting a proper air cooler like a Scythe Fuma 2 or Noctua NH-U12S would provide a fair bit better cooling performance over the 120mm AIO.

Not exactly enough clearance for an air cooler. I wanted something rgb for the middle
