CorsairHydro X Series, XT Hardline, Satin, 14mm, Tubing

I recently used the CORSAIR Hydro X Series XT Hardline Satin Tubing (14mm) in my custom PC build, and I'm extremely pleased with the results. One of the standout features of this tubing is how it looks in a build, especially when it comes to diffusing lights.The satin finish on these tubes really sets them apart. It gives a sleek, understated look to my setup, and the way it diffuses RGB lighting is nothing short of impressive. Instead of the harsh, direct light you might get with clear tubing, the satin finish creates a soft, even glow that highlights the contours of the tubing and the liquid inside. This adds an incredible aesthetic to the whole build.Another significant advantage of this finish is its practicality. It's excellent at hiding minor scratches and imperfections, which can be a common issue with clear hardline tubing. This means that the tubing maintains its pristine look even after some handling during the installation process.The 14mm size strikes a good balance between ease of handling and flow rate, making it suitable for most custom cooling setups. As for durability, the tubing feels solid and well-made, reassuring me of its longevity and ability to withstand regular use.In summary, the CORSAIR Hydro X Series XT Hardline Satin Tubing is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to add a stylish and professional touch to their custom PC. Its ability to diffuse light beautifully and hide minor imperfections not only enhances the overall look of the build but also makes the installation process more forgiving. Highly recommended for PC builders who value both aesthetics and quality.

Quality hardline. Made of PMMA, which holds its shape even after gaming for hours with coolant temps at their warmest. So you don’t need sleeves at the end of the tubing, where it goes on a fitting like PETG tubing. The only trade off is that it’s definitely harder when you’re bending your lines due to PMMA needing a higher temp to make soft enough to bend. So you’ll need to be careful not to overheat when bending or you’ll bubble the material, this also makes it harder to make intricate bends. So there’s a learning curve, but I think the trade off of taking longer to master bending this material is worth it as PMMA just looks incredible and is durable, you don’t have to worry about the material softening over time with the heat of coolant and eventually leaking. The Corsair line is quality though, I don’t know who actually makes it but it’s good to go.

They are as good as any water cooling tubing kit there but at the price of a brand name really. I got these cause I liked the frost look in them and they did not disappoint. Bend as easy as other materials and it’s held up after a year and a half.

First time making a hard-line liquid cooled system. These are easy to bend and form as long as you take your time with the heat gun. I purchased the satin, if I do it again, I may go with the clear. Either is a good choice.

The tubing looks excellent and holds up very well. It's very rigid though, it is nothing like PETG. Your bends have a lot less tolerance, ensure you ordered more than enough extra tubing, it will take a while.

Durable and easy to create different runs for water cooling on a cpu, graphics card and pump. Ignore the dirty computer

Don’t be intimidated by PMMA, it doesn’t take long to learn how to bend. Just make sure you have extra as you will make mistakes.Measuring where to make your bends will be the most difficult part, and it’s definitely trickier than PETG but will be worth it.Also—with the satin tubing, don’t bother with opaque coolant. As you can see in photo, it doesn’t add anything aesthetically. And there are all the issues that come with running opaque coolant.

These are the frosted tubes and it's 3 one meter tubes per pack. I ordered 2 packs thinking it was 1 tube per and I needed 2 tubes for my runs now I have extra tubes which isn't a big deal.
