Generally, the tubes through which the coolant passes in liquid cooling systems, whether they are AiO or custom or “Custom” systems, are made of flexible or rigid plastic materials. In the case of rigid tubes, you need a heat source and simple tools to create angles and curves, but the new EK is going to make it a little more difficult while giving computers with these RLs a polished finish. much more conspicuous.
We talk about the new EK-Loop Metal Tube, a system of EKWB liquid cooling tubes made of brass covered with different materials to give them all kinds of finishes (black, nickel, titanium, etc). They will arrive in packs of tubes with diameters of 12, 14 and 16 mm, the most common tube formats for custom RL systems.
Naturally, creating curves and angles with this type of tube will be much more difficult and will require the use of specific tools and very high temperatures. To facilitate assembly, EK will sell these tubes in both straight format and 90 degree angles, In addition, a specific tool to cut metal tubes can also be purchased for a price of 16.17 euros.
The prices of the tubes depend on their finish and diameter, ranging from 32.90 euros for half a meter of straight tube with a nickel-plated finish, up to 56.90 euros for 0.8 meters of 16 mm metal tube pre-bent at 90 degrees.
