They are OK, when they are perfectly spaced and nice color coded with tube color. Otherwise they look awful.

Hi mate, can you tell me what the OD of that thinner tubing is??

Is it 1/2" OD?

I am in the process of setting up my very first custom loop, but I am still confused with some things.

I have went for 3/8" ID 5/8" OD XSPC tubing for my loop, as I prefer the thicker style tubing personally, I find 1/2" OD doesn't look right.

I've also went for some Bitspower compression fittings with some rotary 45's for fitting them to my Heatkiller 3 CU.

I will be cooling my i7 920 D0 & my GTX280

Video shows exact that the choice is more based upon personal preference than anything.

We talk about a bit over 1C difference between 6 and 12 mm, nothing more.

Look for The impact of tubing sizes at xtremesystems.

I prefer 8mm fuel hoses (running with 10mm atm.)

Why? Because the can be fit in tighter areas and the temperature difference is below 1C.

Very nice video! I would like to know, if I use 3/8 ID and 1/2 OD compression fittings, my tube should be 1/2 ID and 3/4 OD??
