Hi guys just wanted to make a second opinion. On a bend I made. Since the bends were really tight the end got kicked dark morphed would this cause a leak?15221034947951119378087567908062.thumb.jpg.bec2d44c817aa0f9c11cc1c592f95abf.jpg152210352440344023118763481477.thumb.jpg.ded57be80464ec69c75bd4fd8ed2b304.jpg

 

it fits in the fitting but the ring has a hard time getting g in there I. Worried it will leak since it's my 1st time watercooling. Use or throw away? Only have 400mm of tibe left

That's not ideal you can try seeing if the orings are thick enough to compress onto the walls of the tubing but being so oblong shaped I would recommend to redo it.

Is it very easy to pull the tube out of the fitting when you closed it? If the o-ring compresses against the tube it should be tight. If you don´t trust it, i would rather throw it away and try again.

Not meaning to be a smart a$$ here. 

 

Just ask yourself, which is cheaper, more tubing, or hardware cost replacement from water damage? Electricity and water don't mix well, after all. 

 

Definitely replace it.
