Hello! I am going to make a watecooled build and i want to know whats the best diameter (inner and outer) for PETG tubing.

Thanks for your time!!

It depends on how you want the system to look. There is no "one size is better than the other". They both have pros and cons. I would say that the most commonly used size would be 13/10mm (3/8" ID 1/2" OD).

Wall thickness lets you bend the tubing with a tighter bend radius; 12/10mm will die if you bend it tight. large ID vs small ID is about flow rate, and won't affect your temperatures. All fittings are g1/4, but 16mm OD ones may not fit if there are two close together like with a y splitter or some pump tops/Res's. Thicker tube looks sexier.    

If you make a post contradicting mine that doesn't directly address my claims, or cites 'facts' without evidence, I'm probably not going to bother responding to it, because you probably didn't bother reading my post properly, and because life is too short. It doesn't mean I don't have an answer for you. It means I'm not dignifying you with a response.
