What Colour Tubing?

[Redccm]

D'oh...now I have a predicament. I was going to do 1/2" tubing with compression fittings on my build but now I've seen them in your's Razor, it's really put me off. Looks a bit odd the thick tubing going into the skinny little compression fitting and then into the graphics card

Your case looks good mate, nice and tidy...no criticism of your work or anything I just don't think I like the look of the 1/2" tubing and compression fittings.

I totally agree Redccm. I also dont like the way it looks and have some chunky bitspower fittings all ready to go in when I do my upgrades next week.

So the blue tubing turned up and I do like it. I also decided to change the tubing on my cpu as I wanted to get rid of the purple coolant. I am restricted on this loop to 3/8" as it feeds my reserator xt.

After much faffing about I set my heart on some silver tubing to compliment the blue on my 2nd loop. The only silver tubing I could find was Feser 3/8" ID 1/2" OD. It turned up today and I must say its one of the crappiest bit of tubing I have bought. Its so flimsy and kinks really easy.

I am wondering if anyone knows if there is a 3/8" ID 5/8" OD Silver tubing out there to buy?

Tygon do silver lined tubing, I'm running it on mine at the moment. Same quality as Tygon's other products but it's silver coated so a) looks silver and b) kills beasties. Don't think Tom stocks it, but a search on Google shows many vendors. Not cheap though, think you'll be looking at around £8-£9 per meter.

We need pic's of the blue tubing in action though mate

Cheers Red,

I like Tygon and my current clear tubing is their thick walled stuff. Is your silver tubing thick walled?

I will post some pics up soon. I am just waiting on a few bits to arrive.

I cant seem to find any 3/8" ID 5/8" OD silver tubing any where. Tygon only make the 3/8 ID 1/2" OD tubing in silver.

used to stock thr 1/2" to 3/4" tygon silver a long long time ago. Was quite stiff stuff

[Razor]

Hi Tom, can you get any more of this tubing but in 3/8 ID 5/8 OD? Was it comparable to other thick walled tubing in terms of stiffness?

Cheers mark, but unfortunately thats 1/2" to 3/4".

I think I might just swap the colour of the loops around as it would seem I cant do it the way I want to. My other option is to use white tubing instead of silver which I already have laying about.

All I now need to know is how stiff the 1/2 ID 3/4 OD Tygon Silver tubing is compared to normal tubing ie XSPC? Then I can make up my mind.
