Will this Fitting fit?

TheMajesticBurger · Jun 23, 2017

I am going to build a watercooled system soon, but I'm not sure if these fittings will fit this tubing:

Tubing:
http://ttpremium.com/product/v-tubler-petg-tube-1000mm-4-pack/
Thermaltake V-Tubler PETG Tube 1000mm (4 pack)
– Outer Diameter: 5/8” (16mm)
– Inner Diameter: 3/8” (12mm)
– Length: 1000mm*4

Fitting:
http://www.performance-pcs.com/monsoon-hardline-economy-compression-fittings-1-2-x-5-8-12-pack-matte-black.html
Monsoon Hardline Economy Compression Fittings
– Outer Diameter: 5/8” (16mm)
– Inner Diameter: 1/2” (12mm)

Thermaltake's tubing has a 3/8 ID but is still 12mm, and Monsoon's Fitting is 1/2 ID but 12mm, too? I seen people say thermaltake makes very bad watercooling things, and you should never buy stuff from them, is this the reason why they said 3/8 is the same as 12mm? Also is all PETG tubing made of same material? I am using a UV cold cathode to glow my fluid, and UV light slowly breaks down plastic, so would Acrylic be more stronger against UV or would PETG be?

Thanks for reading, hopefully you can give me a answer!

Thermaltake do make poor water cooling equipment.
Get an EK setup.
What are your current specs?
What is your budget for the system inc. water cooling?

Chugalug_ :

Ek tubing is kinda expensive :/ Around $2500 max plus shipping and tax. Right now, Itx Case, phanteks waterblocks, Hardline, UV fluid, and UV cold cathode.

Grab an SSD later and you can get SLI 1080 Tis and a 4k monitor.
For water cooling i'll make another list.

Thanks, but I'm only look for a answer to different hardline tubing I can get, and if acrylic can be stronger at handling UV light vs PETG. I also already have a build:
7700k Delidded, Asus strix Z270i, Evga 1080 FTW, 750 watt psu, and the rest is for making the watercooling look perfect.

Chugalug_ · Jun 23, 2017

Do you have a heatgun?
You'll need to bend the tubing yourself.
EK's stuff is great, as is Swiftech.

Chugalug_ · Jun 23, 2017

PETG tubing has far less UV stability and results in more permeated water, I recommend acrylic.

TheMajesticBurger · Jun 23, 2017

The one problem with acyclic is that I don't want the Tubes to just break. And yes I am buying a heat gun. Also I will be using Xspc UV coolant.

Chugalug_ · Jun 23, 2017

Never had acrylic crack or break in my experience with it.
Quite sturdy.
You can get the thicker tubing if you're concerned.

TheMajesticBurger · Jun 23, 2017

12/16? That's the size tubing I would like to use. And what do you use to cut the tubes with? Can I use those Spin tighten then spin cutters?

Chugalug_ · Jun 23, 2017

Yeah 12/16 sounds alright.
Well, at the shop we have a table saw blade, soooo, you can get preset length ones from EK too if you want.

TheMajesticBurger · Jun 23, 2017

I want tons of extra tubing, because I know I will mess up. This is my first watercooled pc, and also first pc above $750. Would you trust these tubings:

TheMajesticBurger · Jun 23, 2017

I don't know why, but table saw seems kinda risky, and other simpler ways?, if not I'll just use the table saw.

Chugalug_ · Jun 23, 2017

That's why I said to get flex tubing and a setup like I mentioned, lol.
Hard tubing is very hard to work with, especially if you're new.
Not really anything strong enough to give a clean cut other than a table saw.

TheMajesticBurger · Jun 23, 2017

So Alphacool an good company for watercooling? I want to stick with hardline, because soft tubing looks ugly.

TheMajesticBurger · Jun 23, 2017

Oh wait, just read something saying it can't fit Monsoon fittings.

Chugalug_ · Jun 23, 2017

Get EK tubings and fittings.

TheMajesticBurger · Jun 23, 2017

Sorry that I am being very Picky, but I don't like the look of Ek fittings and tubing could be gotten for a cheaper price with a higher amount. I am think about getting AlphaCool Fittings since I would like to get the tubing I listed above. Which Fittings are the most top quality?

Chugalug_ · Jun 23, 2017

Go for Alphacool tubing and get some compression fittings, Bitspower and EKWB are the best.

TheMajesticBurger · Jun 23, 2017

Thanks for all the help! Can I private message you when I need help? You can say No if you want.

Chugalug_ · Jun 23, 2017

Sure thing, no problem at all.
