What fittings & tubing do you use?
 
As the title says, what fittings and tubing do you use in your watercooling setup and why?

I bought a couple of push-in T-pieces from mCubed when I ordered my TBAN, but I'm a bit dubious on how effective they are.

My system is 3/8" ID based (2x Swiftech MCW6000-64 1x MCP350,1x BIP2), which fittings and tubing would you recommend and why?

I'm guessing Tygon for tubing, but which particular one?

Thankyou :)

the most commonly used types of tygon used are R3603 and R1000, the latter being softer and more expensive. There is also clearflex, masterkleer and regular vinyl/nylon tubing. R1000 is reported to collapse with really high pressure pump intakes.

i dont think tygon is necessary b/c you are planning a 3/8th ID system. The extra flexibility is probably not needed (unless you have a small/restrictive case) and its more expensive as well (which may or may not matter to you).

Hope this helps.
