Ran fine for about 9 months till I sold the system to someone else, no creasing involved. If you are having a problem then I'd suggest finding a thicker walled tubing like Tygon, seems like that's the current fad for tubing.

Particularly, the hoses coming in or out of your outer-attached radiator. I noticed as I was installing it that depending on how you angle your hoses to go back into the case, you can get a crease. I did the best angling I could see to keep the creasing from happening, but this morning I found a crease that formed in one of my outer hoses. I knew something was wrong when my cpu monitor showed the temperature shooting up to 70 degrees C. I was wondering if you also had any issues with the hoses creasing on you.

Regular phase coolers always have the risk of a leak and a possible explosion if not properly built but autocascades are an entirely different beast. I would compare the two like comparing a 500HP Corvette to a 2000+HP nitro methane injected drag car. Yeah, the Corvette is fast, but the drag car is in a league of its own. If you would like some easier reading and want to learn the basics go check out the articles I wrote on general cooling, watercooling, and basic phase cooling. Now as with all my previous articles on potentially dangerous topics, if you happen to hurt/maim/kill yourself while making something similar, I am not to blame. I will be simply providing research and documentation of what I did, however feel free to ask me questions if you yourself are building a similar machine. Now with that clearly stated, lets dive into some research and designs.
