Posted February 19, 2017 hi everyone,,,,i'm going to build my first desktop pc in a couple of weeks and i decided to custom watercool the cpu and gpu with ekwb gear... i chose pretty much everything but i'm not sure which petg tube size should i choose for my system,,,since i didn't have a chance to see watercooled pc before i don't know how different tube sizes show themselves in the case....and also there is no pc hardware store nearby that has hard tubes (i have only the online purchase option) so i can't go there and check different size tubes....so i wanted to ask you guys with the setup below which tube size you think is better? 12mm outer D. or 16mm outer D. ? i personally wanted to go for 16mm but i'm afraid that it will look too big in my case.... my case is corsair 750D and and i will be watercooling my cpu (6900k) and one gpu (1080 asus founders)... thanks...

This is a good example of what you will have between the two sizes personally I would go with 16mm as the size of the tube is very similar to what would be 5/8"OD soft tubing Updated Modding FAQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 19, 2017 I personally prefer 14mm, right in the middle. The availability isn't great but the size fits me and my builds perfectly LTT Community Standards Welcome!-A quick guide for new members to LTT Man's Machine- i7-7700k@5.0GHz / Asus M8H / GTX 1080Ti / 4x4gb Gskill 3000 CL15 / Custom loop / 240gb Intel SSD / 3tb HDD / Corsair RM1000x / Dell S2716DG The Lady's Rig- G3258@4.4GHz(1.39v) on Hyper 212 / Gigabyte GA-B85M / gtx750 / 8gb PNY xlr8 / 500gb seagate HDD / CS 450M / Asus PB277Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
