All in one liquid cooling

[S Random]

what all in one water cooling kit would be the safest if occasionally i would take my rig to a lan party... is there tubing that is tougher then the norm etc

thanks in advance

as long as you install it with good quality parts...i.e. metal tube clamps ect and transport it carefully then you should be find...if your worried about the hoses kinking or what not the tubing should be able to be withstand at least a ninety degree bend with out kinking, you dont want it to hard and not to flimsy...

if you are really worried about transporting it, install a t-connector in the kit(you can also use it to purge bubbles) to drain it before and then fill it when you get there......

anyway i would recomend an astek kit...theres lots of good ones on frozencpu
except there more of just a bunch of parts then a kit......

I have taken my main watercooled rig to a lan party before and i use a full tower lian li pc75 without any problems besdies the fact that its a little heavy. Just make sure all your componenets are secure and you have clamps at the necessary spots.

Apparently clearflex is just as good without the price premium, or so I've read.

clearflex and tygon are way overpriced though, but if your a newbie with water cooling go with them. If not go to a hardware store, you can usually find the same thing, or better for cheaper. This way you can feel the tubes in your hand and know what type of "personality" you are going to get with your cooling tube system.
