Not enough for a PC cooling setup to notice, but you are correct...
And if you would like to do the math this is my favorite site for it.

agreed and just remember like TTL always reminds us its always better to have a tidy loop then one with tubing everywhere so my recommendation would be to go with what ever makes it look the tidiest
I'm going to do my best to make it a tidy loop, but I have some hard angles to work around, and I can't seem to find the correct fittings I need.
I'm looking to use the XSPC fittings but I can't find any 90 or 45 degree adapters, not on www.performance-pcs.com at least.

60s and 90s are available also
On what website? The one I am currently looking to buy off of doesn't have many options for fittings =/

Nope, that's the thing, I'm in the USA, but thanks for the links.
Maybe I'm using the wrong tubing? I read that this is only good up to 60C. If that isn't going to be ample, I can look into other sizes, which would provide more options for tubing.

This might help you out, it's a list of stores but it's from 2005 most of them are probably still around though

What are you cooling?
I like the PrimoFlex Pro LRT tubing, it's pretty good and good for up to 90*c/100*F

I'd drop the XSPC tubing if it's only good for up to 60*c you will be close to that on load. You could use coloured coolant instead of coloured tubing though

Where are you getting the ratings for the PrimoFlex? I found the color I want, but it doesn't list the high temperature, just the low

With XSPC I had problems with it clouding up all the time from plasticizer leeching, looked crap within a couple of weeks. So I now use Masterkleer and have had no clouding issues since. BTW id use dye over colored tubing any day of the week much easier when bleeding out air bubbles if you can actullly see them. Then add your dye after
For the states frozencpu.com has loads of different angled fittings ive just looked.

That's low temps:
"PrimoFlex Pro LRT stays flexible even when subjected to the lowest temperatures. Performs well at low temperatures (to -100°F)"
I am not using liquid nitrogen or anything on this. I'm worried about high temps in the summer and while under load.
Ok, well then, I'll move onto other tubing. Thanks for the input.
As far as fittings go, it seems that XSPC doesn't have any 90 degree fittings, not in the black chrome at least. I have been searching in all of the sites that SieB posted earlier. I may have to go with Bitspower Fittings, because they have some matching black ones. They are double the price though =/
