Alphacool HardTube 13/10mm Clear UV-Blue 60cm water cooling tubes are designed for enthusiasts looking to enhance the aesthetics and efficiency of their PC cooling systems. These tubes are part of a new line that replaces traditional PVC hoses with durable acrylic material, offering a cleaner and more structured look. The UV-blue color adds a vibrant visual element, especially when paired with UV lighting, making them ideal for custom builds. The tubes are compatible with Alphacool HT connectors, ensuring a secure and sealed connection during installation.
The 60cm length provides flexibility for various cooling loop configurations, and the set includes four tubes, which is useful for building or expanding a water cooling system. The acrylic material is more rigid than PVC, so a bending tool is recommended to shape the tubes without damaging them. This rigidity also contributes to a more organized and professional appearance within the PC case. The tubes are designed to work with UV-active liquids or transparent colored fluids to enhance the lighting effects.
Installation requires careful alignment of the HT connectors to ensure a proper fit. The tubes are not compatible with Monsoon fittings, so users must verify their existing setup before purchasing. These tubes are best suited for users who prioritize visual appeal alongside functional cooling performance. They are particularly popular among modders and PC builders who want to showcase their systems with custom lighting and design elements.
The design emphasizes simplicity and durability, making it easier to maintain a clean internal layout. The clear UV-blue acrylic allows for creative lighting setups, which can be further enhanced with additional UV cathodes or colored coolant. However, the rigidity of the material may require some planning during installation to avoid unnecessary bends or kinks.
