Bit of a noob question..

Sorry guys, been years since I hung around here and trying to get my license back from DMV so I'm out the door currently..

No luck with search.. was wondering if there are tangible benefits in going with 1/2" tubing vs 3/8" tubing? Besides I guess the kinking factor? is it going to affect temps more than 1 degree or anything?

I have always prefered 3/8" tubing and am looking at building a whole new system for my new Intel C2D setup.. nothing super performance bling bling expensive, but for some marginal O/C with low noise.

This should help you out immensely

Definitely an interesting read, however I was primarily concerned with temperature effects, etc vs kinking issues. Sorry if I did not make that properly clear.

I appreciate the link tho. Will continue more forum search for now

I thought carther says that larger tubes are a bit better temperature wise as long as you have a decent pump to go with it.

Cmon folks, read the stickies:
