Thermaltake Pacific Lengths V Tubler CL W065 PL16TR Review

Overall good pipe, easy to work with. I bought this pipe because I ran out of acrylic. And PETG was readily available. compared to acrylic. It kind of hit me and it was unexpected. In the attached pictures you can see that my previous acrylic tubes show through nicely. And the radiator pipe is PETG. At least I know now. I will probably replace it in the future as I love the acrylic look even if acrylic is a little awkward to work with.

I will no longer stock Thermaltake in my store and will never buy anything in stock from them again. All manufacturers these days offer products that are so similar that they end up getting support and reliability. Thermaltake let us down with a…

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…
