H100i GTX

[waterboy_trick]

Hey guys,

 

I was just wondering if anyone could tell me the diameter of the h100i gtx pipes? 

The reason is because i have a idea to wrap the pipes in some white tubing to go along with the colour scheme of my setup

 

Thanks

i don't know but it is great.

You should paint it anyways. No need to disasseble and so on. And if you use something like plasti dip, you could even remove it if you need to.

Are you going to cut tubing and reseal it around the current tubing?

I personally don't like the idea.  Paint can trap more heat inside, especially the rubbery plastidip

Yeah. Leave the radiator openings without paint. I actually don't know if it matters if there's paint on the sides of the radiator but on the tubing and the top of the block it can't matter. They wouldn't use rubber or plastic on the parts if it was supposed to radiate heat there.

Yeah, i was just going to buy some white tubing and wrap it around the H100i Tubes because i would like white tubes but ideas i've seen, such as the wrapping tape around it, i feel like i would mess it up and make it look awful.

 

I though that wrapping the tubes in more tubing would be a good idea and this is why i posted to see if anyone knew the tube dimensions

 

anything to do with disassembling it, to me, would be more of a pain than it is worth so i agree with not liking the paint idea personally

if anything i would paint the plastic shroud on the side of the radiator, and the pump/pump bracket.  but thats because i dislike the gray

I don't particularly mind the grey, but i just want some other colour on the tubes rather that just black.

go custom loop then? you could get a swiftech aio for about the price of the corsair + extra tubing, then just change out the tubing
