7/16" tubing?

[sladesurfer]

will the 7/16" tubing fit in the pci slot of a case? I dont want to MOD my case thats why im asking.

 

[kenpomasta]

mine did not, I ended up removing one of the dividers between 2 of my slots to make it fit.

err, no, my 3/8" only just does, and it squeezes it quite a bit, so i drilled holes. you could always use 2 slots and cut between them

No it won't. BTW I am using all 7/16 tubing in my rig. If I had to do it over again, I'd use smaller tubing. It's been proven that the tubing size makes very little difference on modern water cooling hardware.

Interesting, thanks

 

[Teknokid]

is that true?
wow, its been proven that flow doesnt, but i guess if u have higher flow/smaller tube, the same amount of water passes.
would you recomend a 3/8" loop with a laing ddc pump of some sort then?

Yep. It's been proven for a *long* time now... But apparently the Zealots only heed the wisdom of a select few Too bad I love the look of larger tubing!

Even flow-rate isn't that important, as long as you're over 1gpm. Case in point, lowering my MCP655 from 5 to 2 makes no difference in temperatures even after 45 minutes of full load.

If I had to do it all over again, I'd probably go with 3/8" instead of the larger 7/16" I'm using now.

Keep using the big tubing as it can only hurt your computer if the torsional effects of the tubing aren't controlled well.
