Color and handling

Alphacool calls tubing the veins of a water cooling system, and these tubes the next generation, made by Alphacool. Deep, intense colors as well as comfortable handling during installation and connection were its focus in developing them. The result is tubing in a variety of sizes and colors, such as red, green, blue, or black, but this one is clear. Alphacool says it specifically ensured that there would no longer be any need to deal with color particles in the coolant fluid. In the colored versions all the color would come from the tubing itself, rather than from the liquid.

Bending

Besides the color, the installation and bending properties are of course very important in tubing. The ability to span a tight bend radius in tricky spaces was also emphasized during development. Alphacool says this was "optimized to perfection" by mixing different combinations of synthetic materials. The resulting hose, in its words, manages to bring opposing goals together in harmony and will satisfy both amateur enthusiasts and experienced water cooling users.

The tubing is manufactured in Germany, with the promise of consistent high quality. "Our years of manufacturing experience guarantee that any product we sell is the best," as Alphacool puts it.

What a run needs

A run of hose takes two fittings, one at each end, sized for a 10 mm inner and 16 mm outer diameter.
