Tubing

Is 10 ft of tubing enough for 1 build?

IIRC, that's what I bought when I did my loop. I had extra. It's all going to depend on how big your loop and case are and how many pieces will be connected in your loop.

Always buy more than you need. Its a bummer when you're sitting there with too little. Ive bought 3 meters, about 10ft, for my first build. Did cpu gpu and 2 rads loop in an nzxt switch 810. Had to cut some hose off and refit it. I have less than a meter left. So I guess for most builds its fine.

I always buy 15ft so I have some if I need to redo something or when I take it apart for cleaning and feel the need to redo something. Always good to have some laying about for emergencies

I bougt 2x 3.3meters of hose for my switch 810 (cpu, gpu one rad).

Came out with one of the packs and have the other sitting around.

I'll be doing only CPU in 800D case for now, will get waterblocks for GPU later so I think it is fine for now.

I usually buy anywhere from 10-15 ft, depending on the size of the chassis. A lot of times you'll have some left over, which is nice in case you need it later on.

i normally get just 2mtrs....what are you people doing with all that tubing?

Sinister.....

i used about 14" of tubing for me old scout...

If you are using 15ft there is something wrong, lengths of tubing should be kept short, long lengths look poo and make your loop look messy.

 

[Jason-CL]

Not really. Considering I have 2 radiators, a CPU block, and an Aquaero block all being watercooled. There's probably 6 feet of tubing in there now.... I just looked at my last order of tubing and it was 10 feet, and I do have a bit left over. It really depends on your case and your loop.

My old Caselabs probably had 12 feet of tubing in it, easily.

Thats mental, I've test fitted my new loop and I use barely just over a meter. 3 rads, two blocks in a full tower too.

Also 999 posts. lol

I bought about 10 feet of tubing about 3 builds ago! And I still have about 2 feet spare.

Its all depend on what case you are using,how many blocks, rads etc. I always buy about 2,5meters of tubing and always have some left. And sometimes when you cutting tube to the wright size and you do something wrong you need to have some backup so, always get some extra tubing.
