Fluid Recommendations

N00bbuilder79 · 19 Feb 2022 at 10:11

Morning all, I am planning on draining my loop this week and give it all a good clean, once it’s rebuilt I would like to change to a nice deep purple colour. Can anyone recommend any fluids that perform well, have a good deep purple colour and are not prone to solid fall out or separation?

many thanks

would you consider using a normal clear fluid and some dye? you can then make it as light or dark as your want. if so i would advise going for the same brand coolant and dye just incase they dont tell you something about how well it mixes with other brands fluid etc.

How about this?

I use this XSPC coolant myself, very pleased with it and no signs of it clogging up or separating. Change it once a year or whenever doing maintenance, no signs of anything untoward going on. I tend to stay away from opaque coolants as I thought they were more likely to be problematic for separation/clogging up waterblocks etc....?

Distilled water, Mayhems Hades and Inhibitor and Mayhems non-stain dyes to mix your own shade and intensity of purple.

I only use Mayhems X1 now as I have had zero problems with it. It looks great, the 5 ltr container is reasonably priced direct from Mayhems and it doesn't stain blocks.
