HardTubes enjoy great popularity, and Alphacool is constantly offering new products in this area. Anyone who want to see clear, clean lines in their computer can hardly go without them.
The most popular HardTubes are clear and transparent. HardTubes made of brass and carbon are also catching on. Now, under its “Eis” product line, Alphacool is offering the “Eisrohr”. Its surface gives off the appearance of ice and feels like it too – somewhat rough, but still smooth.
With the “Eisrohr”, you effectively change the look of your system. You can especially see its true effects after refilling the system. The water has the appearance of frosted ice. With clear HardTubes, when the system is lit by LEDs, you see the reflection of each individual LED very clearly. Not so with the “Eisrohr”. Instead, the light is diffused and you get a softer, better illumination.
Notice:
The “Eisrohr”, like all acrylic HardTubes, can be bent with the proper bending tools. However, this will noticeably change the appearance of the tubes at the bends and no longer creates the same optical effect. This can be used to create different effects, but if you wish to keep the “Eisrohr” look, appropriate connectors should be used in place of bending.
Technical Details:
The Alphacool Eisrohr 16/13mm Hardline Tubing - Plexi (PMMA) Satin 80cm - 4pcs is satin acrylic hard tube with a 16 mm outer and 13 mm inner diameter. It is sold as a set of four 80 cm tubes (320 cm in all). The surface is frosted instead of clear, so the tube has the appearance of ice.

If you want that look with a softer light, this is the tube. The most popular HardTubes are clear and transparent, and those made of brass and carbon are also catching on. Now the Eisrohr (ice tube) sits under Alphacool's Eis product line. Its surface gives off the look of ice and feels like it too: somewhat rough, but still smooth.

Each run takes two fittings for hard tube with a 16 mm outer diameter, one at each end. Alphacool's technical details give the material as PMMA (acrylic) and the length as 80 cm.
