Tubing types

[Kevo05s]

So, I have been using soft tubing for the last 3 years in my watercooling experience, and 2 months ago, I built myself a new system, and I went hard tubing. At first, I loved it, I loved doing it, and, even if the bends aren't perfect since I'm not very experience, think it looks amazing. But recently, I've been thinking of switching back... As much as I love it, It is becoming more and more impractical... I do a lot of hardware testing for my friends and I like to just play around to tiddy up my cables and such... 

My question is, would you guys do the switch back to soft tubing if you were in my situation? or simply, what type of tubing is your favorite?

I feel like that's the way it is going to be, with soft tubing in it... I know which case I'll get (I have been looking at it for a while) and I was planning on selling my 6700K and motherboard because of Ryzen... they'll go in my test bench/spare rig

If your doing benching like on a test bench you would probably be best off with AIO coolers for quick change but for the best possible cooling if you wanted to I would suggest a soft tube solution on a test bench with extra lengths of soft tube to make it easy for switching out CPU's GPU's and such.

I haven't switched to hard tubing because of my constant part switching and testing. I do have a spare rig but the systems are so different that I include it in my testing. 

 

The way its going right now I doubt I'll do hardline. I'd switch back. I couldn't imagine dealing with my rigs if they weren't soft.
