Adding food dye to watercooling loop.

[Monkey Puzzle]

I'm using 'purple' UV dye, but it comes out a bit pink unless I add lots of antifreeze, which makes it a lovely purple, but at the expense of worse cooling. Are there any downsides to adding a bit of blue food dye to my loop to make the colour a bit manlier?

Honestly haven't a clue, but I wouldn't bother trying it.

it depends what is in the dye and if it is corrosive at all i guess

if in doubt - dont bother tbh

If worried just buy some feser uv purple....looks great

yeah, might have to do that - they don't seem to sell blue food dye at the supermarket. I guess people don't want blue food.

i think it was more of a case of most blue food dyes were found to be carcinogenic (or something that was unhealthy), hence the blue smartie advert.

i would have thought food dye will break down after a while or discolour all your pipes.

It will deffinately dye your pipes and it contains sugar - not something you want to introduce to a system that stays around 35c!
