Advise on tubeing

[paulstung]

I'm changing my X20 dual bay res for a tube res and D5 next week, but am unsure what to do about my tube. My build is black and yellow, and currently have black hose and fittings, with clear coolant. ( it can't be seen behind the phantoms door) But with having a tube res I'm going to get some Mayhems pastel sunset yellow. So do I keep the black hose, or change to clear.

I like the idea of all black with just yellow in the res, use it more of a highlight rather than a full 2nd color. As the only other yellow i have is, on the mobo, MPower ram, and the Akasa fans. Maybee if I use clear hose, it might be to much yellow ?

if your input pushes me toward the clear tubeing route, what tubeing would be suitable for pastel. I have heard a few horror stories lately about pastel reacting with the hose, causing a residue build up inside. Cheers guys.

Definitely Primochill advanced

Can't stress this enough, not the Pro LRT, but the Advanced.

Thats good, I'm using the advanced in black at the moment, and have to say, I'm impressed with it. So I'll stick to that I think. Cheers guys.

mix and match clear and black then you get the yellow black thing going on might look naff might look awesome never know till you do it and it costs what £5 for a metre of tubing to try it since your bleeding your loop anyways so no extra hassle really

May I ask where you got the PC Advanced in black? I've only been able to find it in either blue/UV blue or transparent

No idea mate, a friend of mines father owns a little pc repair shop, he ordered it in for his son. They/we are making a showcase rig, for the shop. How much do you need ? I'll have a word he has got a fair bit knocking about.

Thanks a lot, that's very generous.

Since I needed to order last week I got the normal Primochill tubing (been running it in white and black for a few years now with Aquacomputer's clear coolant without troubles, it only seems to act up with other some other coolants, esp. Mayhems). It was more a question for future reference.

But thanks anyway.
