CORSAIR Hydro X Series XT Hardline Satin Black 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.

Premium quality and looks incredible in my custom loop. The satin black finish is sleek and gives a clean, stealthy aesthetic. Cuts cleanly and bends well with the proper tools. Would definitely buy again for future builds.

These frosted PMMA tubes that corsair sells are, in my experience, much better than the competitors acrylic tubes. Corsair provides a great quality product with a decent value for the money. If the cost was slightly less, I would definitely give 5 stars. No leakage, stretching or issues with function encountered with my installation.

This is my first time hard tubing and I'm glad I found these. In contrary to Corsair's god awful soft tubes, these are fantastic. If you haven't seen Jaytwocents' video, go check it out. In short, these have all the advantages of PMMA meanwhile they are no longer brittle and more tolerable about heat. If I can do it you can do it. As you can see I'm running it in an ITX system, the coolant got as hot as 48C but it didn't soften up a bit, not leakage whatever. Also dig the frosted look a lot. Works well with RGB lights, you can achieve similar looks of pastel dye using transparent dye. Highly recommend, they nailed the formula.

Easy to handle but don’t bend it too fast!

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.

More difficult to bend compared to PETG tubing or 12mm Acrylic due to the thicker wall, it takes a lot of patience and a quality heat gun to heat up and bend properly, but well worth the effort. The frosted finish doesn't get distorted or changed at the bends either. I'd always choose Acrylic over PETG for Acrylic's higher heat stability, I've seen too many horror stories of PETG deforming and leaking when the coolant gets too hot, Acrylic will handle at least 10c higher temps than PETG. Looks great with colored translucent coolants.

I tubi sono belli ma da piegare sono veramente ostici, bisogna optare per gli snodi adattatori

Non faceva per me. Durissimo, fragile, per niente malleabile cioè l'esatto contrario delle caratteristiche che si richiedono a un tubo per watercooling

black is majesty, I took the 14mm Satin Black

Sehr gute Hardtubes, lassen sich viel besser verarbeiten als gedacht. Im vergleich zu Durchsichtigen Rohren viel besser zu biegen! Und vom Look natürlich nochmal um einiges schöner

This PMMA tubing is way more friendly than the acrylic I have been using. It cuts very nicely and is a lot nicer to bend. That being said, watch your heat as if you keep in one spot too long it will bubble and pinhole very easily, but that's my own rookie mistakes more or less, the material itself is excellent and the frosted look is spectacular. I will be getting more, I want to hardline the world at this point with how great this stuff is to work with. Acrylic made me almost insane enough to want to use an AIO.
