Hello

I've recently decided to re work the water cooling loop in my pc. I've ran into a small snag and the way i have the loop layed out results in a small kink. Just wondering if there is a work around with any different fittings as I've only ever used straight fittings before I'm not sure on whats out there. Any ideas would be appreciated

There are 90 degree fittings/adapters (as: https://www.ekwb.com/shop/fittings/adapter-fittings). You would need a 90 degrees adapter, and two more fittings (one for each end of the adapter). The problem i see with that solution is that, considering the lengths of both the angled adapter and the fittings, you will need two very short pieces of tubing and it might not be convenient. Maybe you can separate pump and reservoir a little more? However, the kink itself is pretty minor, and it won't affect much the flow rates in your loop, so i would even consider letting it be. When buying fittings for your loop, make sure that you don't mix aluminium and copper.
