I've had no issues with EK's own clear 10/16mm in my 380TIMG_2673.thumb.JPG.906e6927f8c8aeb22f72b091b6c007a8.JPG

stuff with thicc sidewalls

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

Primochills Advanced LRT tubing is great.

Obviously select the ID/OD you need for your specific fittings.

Pretty much any tubing with 10/16mm or 13/19mm ID/OD is as kink-ressistant as soft tubing goes. 

People quoting posts with all the pictures should get banned from internet!

+1 for the Primochill advanced LRT, I use it and while it technically can kink, it happens way later than expected and was able to bend faaar more than I expected. you could always go on the safe side and put a coil around the tube to help prevent kinks, may get you a bit more of a turn, not sure. maybe more fittings to get a better angle going before the tubing needs to start bending?
