Cleanest Soft Tubing loop?

[Snowmirage]

I'm starting a new build after my box of fun from EKWB arrives today and was hoping to get some tips / inspiration for the cleanest ways of running soft tubing.

Anyone seen any guides or have any tips / tricks on getting as close as possible to the super clean look of hard line but with soft tubing?

I'd even love to see some of the cleanest soft tubing builds you've ever come across.

To me, it all looks "dirty". It never gets anywhere close to the aesthetic of hard line.

Same here. Though doing the straightest runs you can would greatly improve the look. But it's not quite as crystal clear as acrylic or glass hardline tubing.

Doing straight runs with the tubing is the only way to get it near hardline look. If your after hardline look might as well just use hard tubing.

Thats about the cleanest ive ever seen soft tubing. 

 

Most soft tubing systems look something like spaghetti got poured in a pc case.

You will need lots of 45, 90, rotaries and extenders to do this. It is way more frustrating and almost as time consuming as doing a hard line build for the first time.

The cleanest way to run soft tubing is to not care about loop order and focus on shortest runs possible.  The fewer discrete components you have the better.  Integrated pump reservoir and radiator will clean up the build but it's expensive.

In my experience never try to run straight lines with soft tubing, do gentle arcs or aesthetically pleasing bends instead as it naturally follows the shape of the tube out of the box and won't have to fight it.
