If I'm connecting the tube from one component to another, will I have the problem of the tube not being able to be sitted properly in? Because the tube is hard, you can't bend the tube to fit into the compression.

Rad>Compression > tube> compression > cpu block

If I've already connected my tubing to the rad,and i need to bend the acrylic, how do I fit it into the inlet of the cpu block? Sorry for my fail explanation ._.

With hard tubing you need to bend/form it first. You use a heat gun and a silicone tube and then heat the tubing until it is pliable and bend it to the angle you need. Here is the video Primochill made explaining it.

heat and bend like others said or if like me you have tons of fittings at your disposal you could always just us 90's and 45's and stuff like that to get it where you need it, matter of preference of course
