Why for? unless you have 100lr reservoir it's almost of no difference if you think that it will take longer to heat up water in loop. Few seconds, or half a minute .. system will reach temp equilibrium soon enough, sooner then time you ran heavy loads like games Otherwise it's just wasted hose/case inner space.
Also i wanted extra hose so it was easy to put onto the mobo l8er after leak testing it.
Usually motherboards aren't running too hot, i'd prefer to put as extra on liquid cooling gpu-s first, as those can be rather noisy when runing heavy load. Imho one 2x120rad wouldn't be enough for quiet cooling of both overclocked cpu+some top gpu though.
Also the fittings i used had a small oring and the old jump im using atm had a larger oring layout so it squashed it and made it leak. thus why i use plumbers tape it fix the leak.
Btw Was just the jump mostly that leaked. But leak free now was mainly coz of all the elbows and stuff i used to save space. Why it leaked.
Thanks Churchy for advice ill remember not to use it on acrylic.
BTW, it's sometimes possible to make O-ring to leak if you overtighten it aswell , not just if not tightened enough, so it's not always best to tighten as hard as possible, especially because fittings these days have only short thread and you can snap it too if overtighten. Replacement O-rings or O-rings of different size usually can be bought at liquid cooling component shops.
