Review on Thermaltake Pacific Lengths V Tubler CL W065 PL16TR by Richard Simmons

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Plasticizer warps and leaks

I didn't think this would happen to even decent quality PETG tubing. After using these hoses with Bitspower compression fittings (hand tight, no tools required), the hose ends are slightly bent. My loop started leaking after a month or two of using my computer and to top it off a small amount of green goo was collecting in my water blocks. It's not algae, I'm using EK cryofuel that has a biocide in it. I had to look around but obviously low quality PETG plasticizer can seep into the loop which collects in green algae like clumps. Instead I had to replace all the tubes with borosilicate glass. it was pain Unsatisfied.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Infinitely sluggish
