How much tubing do you use in your case?

Jbroad572 · 10-23-04, 03:54 PM

Just want to get an idea of how much tubing the average person uses, feet wise. I am leak testing and am just using more than needed at the moment. I haven't properly measured how much tubing I will be using. I think I will be ordering Tygon here pretty soon and don't think I will need 10 feet of it like I originally planned, hehe.

in a normal case id say around 3-5 feet

I used about 5 feet, but it's always nice to have extra in case you mess something up.

I have about 7' now that I put my GPU block in. I haven't mounted my tranny cooler on my case yet so I've got a couple extra feet that I don't really need when I do.

Give yourself a little extra. If you have too little slack between objects you can get kinks.

About 6 feet here so far(double exhaust tubes from my RBX to the res. I am only WCing my CPU however. If I move into NB and GPU cooling I can see up to 3 more feet being used.

I'd say 5-6ft, but then there is the scrap that I messed up when cutting some lines too short. 10ft is what I would buy.

about 3 ft. i always buy 7 just to be sure, some times you make a bad cut, or want to change something in the setup, the leftover is good for maintance later on.
