will this bend work?

will this bed work or should i make a other way?

I don't see why it wouldn't work - especially when there is fluid in it.

I agree with this. Doesn't look full collapsed, but it will definitely impede the flow.

its not really a kink. more like a little bend. and only verysmall.

im new to water cooling so idk if i should make the loop longer or shorter to make it not bend?

Throw on an angled adapter that would help alleviate the bend radius and the minor amount of kinking.

no other way to do it?. i have a bunch of thoes but i already used all of them and its not worht it just buying that single one as the shipping almost cost the same as the fitting alone

Try changing the length of the tube but that would be the easiest. You could just leave it it’s not overly kinked but just not ideal.

should it then be short or longer?

Either should work as long as you make the radius itself larger. Either by sweeping the curve outwards before making the turn or shortening it so it's starts the arc right at the fitting.

You can also try using some zip ties, it might work to try and keep the roundness of the tubing.

for support right. just like some of the soft tubing got like metal rings in it

Just leave it be. Had half of my runs that way. Wont cause an issue as you have so few components in there and the cump can handle that.

5 components. if you count the 2 rads. im just worried that the pump will run dry. but its d5 so it can prob handle it right?

Cant run dry, its still works as it should. The issue is the install. Using compression fittings, cause the hose to twist when putting the top portion on. So if you twist it the other way first, it will end up normal.

ahh i see. i test fitted them. still need to flush my radiators. so i will just du what you said when assembling it again.
