Replacing AIO liquid cooler tubes?!

[EBDoesStuff]

Hey guys! So, I have a little modding question today. I wanted to know if I could switch the tubes of my AIO liquid cooler (NZXT Kraken x31). I know the tubes are glued and sealed into place but I was wondering if I would be able to heat the tubes, loosen the adhesives and maybe switch the tubes? It definitely should be possible, but is it realistic? If anyone has knowledge to this subject, I encourage you to share what you know. I appreciate your time, thanks!

While not recommended is it possible to modify them by taking them apart, this here should give you a good idea:

Doesn't quite show how it was done though  Im looking to revamp my PC with new parts anyway so the consequences don't scare me.

It would basically just require the tubes to be cut drained and cleaned out, replaced with new tubing and refilled with a mixed metal compatible fluid. If you want to get into custom watercooling though I would recommend to look into EKWB kits which are a greate base to build on.

Yeah, I'm going to do a hardline liquid cooled build in a desk for my sister. Should be interesting
