View Single Post - upgrading my thermaltake rhythm and system cooling.

While it will have an impact from a purely engineering / scientific point of view, I doubt a short run of wider tubing will matter in this situation.

A larger cross sectional area means a lower flow rate with the same volume of water, but I can't see it mattering on such a small scale.

But, while the change in size shouldn't matter, there is the question of handling the extra heat load on the system. With a dual 120mm radiator and a reasonable flow rate it should be fine. I know people have modified Rhythm's to accomodate CPU, GPU, and chipsets, so I think a CPU and a higher end GPU should be fine. But no promises... Laughing
