so I bought bitspower crystal link for acyllic tubes. tubes are from e22. Im only doing the cpu, and i used a handsaw to cut the tubes, which are not really smooth, some cuts are not even straight(maybe 15 degrees offside). and when I tried to put the tubes in the the fitting, many times the tubes cracked on the outside, however, when I tested it on some tab water, its not leaking, so the inside is not cracked. So I want to ask if this watercooling will last? I dont want it to crack or leak because I used a handsaw and used too much strength when putting the tubes on. Redoing it means many days of work, which is out of the question, can somebody give me some sulutions? that would be really appreciated!

You could put it in, but risk of leaking. You could wrap tape around it to re-enforce the tubes for a temporary fix. I would buy new ones and make sure you wrap the area of the tube you want to saw off with tape to prevent cracks. Use sand paper to make the edges less rough. Or go to home depot and get some clear tubing to match it up with.

You mean possible leaking doesn't mean it is going to leak for sure if the edges are not smooth right? They fit pretty okay, but Im more worried about the cracks, like how long will the tube last with those cracks. I mean sawing the tubes are really hard, and time consuming, so I can not redo this whole process again.
