Mayhem Aurora - Anyone used for extended period of time?

snedie · 31 Dec 2011 at 18:45

Title says it all really. I'm going to use Mayhem's Aurora Tharsis Red in my loop build, mainly for the photographs on ebay, but I was curious if anyone has used it for more than a few weeks a suggested.

Sweet stuff. Also, how hot of water should I use?

Water for what

Was a question from another thread of mine. I'm installing a new loop next week (hopefully) and it has some pre-owned parts that need cleaning. Clee suggested using hot water in the loop, but I'm a bit dubious about running say kettle hot water through my pump....and the rest

tap warm.

So it starts to burn your hand.

Makes life easy, and that isn't going to screw with the pump or anything?

I'd max it at 70 Degrees, at least then its not going too. If it does then change your pump.

Great stuff, iirc my tap temp is around 60c~ when the boiler pulls its finger out.

Thanks for your help bud.

That will do

Be careful when running 70c or higher though you system. I have cracked 2 reservoirs both from xspc when we were running tests with water at 70c. Just a warning for you.

I'll be sure to get the water at 60c

Is that all ?

The product page says no more than 3 weeks, although Michael (mayhem) himself says there is no risk of build ups within the system.

I'll be making a thread with my build in it, and I'll update it weekly on how things are looking: Except for Rad and Pump I can see in everything else so any build up's, blockages and yada yada will be obvious.

That's the max mick has even saying but he said it lasts for 12 months I think.

I've prep'd a thread for the Aurora coolant testing, located here:

According to Mike (Mayhem) on this forum he has it running for 6 months no problem in his system:

Also just got confirmation of delivery of the Aurora for Tuesday along with my barbs. Hopefully WCUK can get me some clamps by then too: I ordered 1/2" OD clips instead of 3/4" OD clips :rolleyes:
