I think it will take the bends without kinking and without the springs which I was planning on leaving out as common sense told me it would restrict flow.
But I wanted a professional opinion and if the pros told me it woud have no effect----then I'd leave them in as it does give the tubing more strength.
As for building my own setup----I think you are correct and if I shopped around, I could find a better small pump and a better small radiator.
It's size that is the problem in the SFF boxes.
Perhaps we should issue a challenge to forum members and have them come up with the best or a recommended solution for watercooling SFF machines like the Biostar IDEQ, Shuttle XPC, Soltek Qbic---etc, etc.
Causes the engineer to accept tradeoffs----size for performance-----and what then is the best performance for the size available......
The SFF machines are becoming hugely popular.
Thanks for the help,
