[D] Tubing

[Parkway Drive]

Using 1/2" and 3/8" Blue PromoChill PrimoFlex Advanced LRT. The extra 3/8" is just for my MVF motherboard block cause they wouldn't put G1/4 fittings. May be moving to Crystal link in future but really want to find somewhere to get custom lengths of the same tubing. I know someone mentioned E22 for me but really don't know if I want to pay for that shipping. Anyone know of a place in Aus that has custom length crystal link or 12/10 hard tubing?

I mentioned it before but Primochill are introducing acrylic tubing and fittings, I would expect it to filter through to retailers quite soon.

Oh yeh, brain fart, saw a post they had on facebook of them heating and bending.

Hope they end up getting em here in Aus

Thanks for reminding me Ghost. Cheers mate

I was going to use the swift tech vinyl tubing 3/4 1/2 tubing but ghost said that i should get something else but idk what to use so could someone suggest some?

 

I would LOVE to use acrylic or metal tubing but this is my first watercooling build so ya ill stay with the vinyl type tubing.

XSPC clear tubing for me and use colored coolant... usually use 7/16" as it fits my compression fittings :)

i would like to use plexiglass tubing in my up coming build. its going to be a pain to fit and time consuming but its gonna be just what i want and i don't have to think about it clouding :)

 

currently just looking for someone who sells its colored but i might just buy it clear or maybe frosted. plus trying to find some fittings for it. (and money :D )

You could probably dye the plexi tubing. You would be able to get the exact colour you want that way!

People will tell you allllllllllll sorts of stuff about not using dye, don't use dye, don't do this, don't do it, blah blah freaking blah

 

As long as you know what you're doing, it's fine. You're spending hundreds of dollars on a very niche freaking hobby, just enjoy it and don't let others hold you back

 

Nothing beats the vivid beautiful colors of Mayhem's stuff

 

Don't use that swirly glop crap, doesn't look good at all, stick with stuff that doesn't have sparkly crap in it.

 

Colored tubing looks so ______ fill in the blank, that it makes me want to puke. It looks fake and plasticy and glossy, loops like a freaking toy. Go with clear tubing, or just really pretty non glossy tubing, unless that's what you're into I guess..

^ tbh mayhems pastel only looks good in the res anyway (or plexi blocks I guess). When it's in the tubing it just makes it look like coloured tubing!

 

My advanced lrt is holding up nicely in both PCs. No clouding yet.

I like the look if their Aurora sparkly dye and was considering buying some. That was till I found out the pearl effect doesn't last long and can clog your blocks up unless you kept your loop running 24/7.

Ended up just buying some of their blue dye for the rebuild I'm starting this week.Tried the pastel concentrate from them but my temps went really high after about a week. Drained my loop and used distilled water and my temps went back down.

Anyways, the PrimoChill LRT seems to be the best tubing when it comes to clouding. I can take some pictures of a few month old tubing and brand new tubing from them later this week so you guys can see how it looks after being used for a few months.

Let me know if that's something you'd like to see or not.
