Hi all,

Just ordered the 10 feet of Tygon Tubing R-1000 model from McMasterr-Carr. Ordered part # 5894K21 at the recommendation of the "H20 Buyer's Guide". I just noticed something however though...and forgive me because this is my FIRST h20 setup and I am a newb at Watercooling. At http://www.tygon.com , the manufacturer of Tygon (saint-goblin) lists the maximum recommended operating temps of the R-1000 brand of Tygon tubing at 125 degrees Farenheit/52 Celsius.

The R-3603 brand of Tygon Tubing is rated at 165 degrees Farenheit/74 Celsius. Should I have gone with the R-3603 brand? Is 52C max operating temperature going to be enough for H20 cooling? What are the standard temps of water?

My specs:
XP2000+
Abit KR7A-133R
512MB Corsair XMS2700
WD 60GB HDD
SB Audigy Platinum
Plextor 40/12/24
Linksys 10/100 NIC

Thanks for any advice..
