Probably been asked before

Its probably been asked before, but does anyone know what kind of tubing the corsair H110, 280mm radiator uses? specifically what size.

 

I'm planning my first custom loop, and to save money I'm going to use the radiator from this corsair AIO setup. I dont see why that would be an issue, I asked previously about using the pump from it, but that seems sketchy.

What is the application?

@Askew I'm just cooling the cpu for now. In the future I will be cooling everything but by then ill have money for another rad.

 

I want to reuse the radiator now to save money, just gonna cut the tubes on it, drain it, clean it out, and stick it into a loop.

 

I'm sure my AIO loop is running fine, but I dont like not being able to see it, so Im gonna say screw the warranty and gut it.

because it is an inefficient radiator for low flow water pumps. that is usually why

you don't see many building with part-out AIO kits. if you are going to take the

time, money and resources, you usually are looking for a better alternative than

what an AIO can provide. you can get more resale value in its intact format,

than pieced out as is seems the budget is the issue.

Note that the radiator is also aluminium (not sure if galvanized) so that can be another problem as well. 

[Trik'Stari]

Did not consider the aluminum issue.

 

I'm not overclocking anything (yet, but by then i'll have the money for a better system) its more of a "I wanna buy parts now and use them and not have them sit around doing nothing" issue. Probably not good to be impatiend with computers, but its difficult lol

Yeah... This is just a bad idea. AIO's are not designed to ever be taken apart. The reason is that the parts are only worth using in the configuration they are sold in. Just save up for a decent custom loop or get a better AIO
