hey i made my water cooling setup and i started running the water etc through it. well it SEEMS there is a slightly small hole on one of the tubes near the radiator and i have no more tubingh left... is there a way (tubes have water thorugh them) to tigthen the one tube so it won't leak or maybe should i just try to re-set the clamp i have on it to tihgter??\

ideas!? the leak might have stopperd but i'm not 100% positive yet i tried tightening the tube b4.
 
is it leaking from the end of the tube or from a hole/tear in the tube itself?
if its the latter i would suck it up and get some more tubing. otherwise just try reseating the hose on the barb and tightening it down again.
 
Ok so like you can get 10 feet of tubing at home depot for only a few dollars. Surely you can afford that. I mean seriously why would you risk leaving a tube with a hole in it and fry all your components. That is just plain stupid!!!

its not a whole i'ts from the end of the tube ... how can i reseat the hose on the barb etc..... there's water in it i thought of that but the water would spill out... we tried pusshing it in and i think it might be fine but idk how to check we'll see when i get home.
 
Flush your system, unclamp the tubing, remove the tubing from the radiator, and from what ever block or pump inlet/outlet it's going to/from. Try to good old "soak in hot water" trick, and attempt to reconnect it. This should allow you to stretch it over the barbs more, thus reducing the risk of the leak. Of course finish it off by reclamping the tubing on both ends.

However, if there is a puncture in the tubing, the above will render useless.
