i read that tygon is a bit yellowish
primoflex is a tad blueish
but i really looking for clear tubing.

Well Danger Den Clearflex is working well for me and it's clear apart from the writing
i7 920 @ 4GHz 1.25v
GTX 470 @ 859MHz 1062mv
I just held Primoflex and ClearFlex up to a light and the Primoflex looks clearer, though it does have a very slight blueish tint. The ClearFlex doesn't seem as clear, has a yellowish tint and has writing the full length of the tubing.

The clearflex I used in the past stayed clear. This Tygon is turning milky white after only 2 months of use. Plasticizers maybe, but the Clearflex never turned a color on me... The Tygon is...

A lot of people are recommending the PrimoFlex Pro LRT tubing. Made by Primochill. I've not personally used it, but have seen it in a friends build. It looks as it should and seems to perform in line with Tygon and Clearflex. Some people have said that it is just a little bit less flexible than clearflex. I've always thought clearflex was pretty soft though, TBH. Also if you are into colors, it comes in just about every flavor. When I break down this faded loop, I'll be trying the LRT...

I believe the LRT stands for Low Radius of TurningOriginally Posted by Vinas
Low Radius TechnologyI believe the LRT stands for Low Radius of Turning
Don't know why they call it "Technology" but they do, it's even patent pending.
busterben, avoid PU tubing, it's stiff as all hell.

well, it won't stay clear for long will all that plasticiser.
Primoflex Pro LRT would get my vote just because there is no writing on the tubing and their 3/8-5/8 tubing is near kink proof. I'd deal with a slight blue tint for that.
My tygons are turning more yellowish after 1 week or more this is not so good since I'm using a white coolant!
Is the Primochill better?

Primochill LRT is outstanding.

Outstanding at staying clear? Tyron 3603 and B-44-4x both suck. The cloud very fast. You can clean the tubing but it will have yellow hue afterwards. I wish there was a tubing as clear as 3603 that could remain clear.
Totally agree here, I used Tygon and it made my red coolant look pink, switched to PimoChill LRT and never have a problem.
they say primochill clear tubing is a bit cloudy? is masterkleer clear tubing crystal clear? I need a tubing with a less color tint on them
Check out xspc tubing, no tint to it but have ran my loop long enough to see if it clouds and looks brilliant mayhem dye running through it.
I been running tygoon for a year with green Hidryx. Just a week ago I rebuild my loop and the tubes loock like the first day. Now Im using the same Tygoon but in larger diam ( 19/13) with Mayhems dye... will see.
so the consensus seems to be Primiochill LRT tubing?
Primochill LRT reppin'
I can't make up my mind between clearflex and primochill...sigh
I've tried Masterkleer, Durelene, and all the flavors of normal tygon (R-1000, R-3603, and B-44-4X) and all of them cloud fast. I finally broke down and bought Tygon Silver for this build. Tired of tubes yellowing and clouding in days.
