First time water cooler .

[paulstung]

I have spent the weekend playing with my toys , and fitted a CPU loop . Buy all accounts it went well , I didn't run into any problems . All apart from the block being bloody awful , and awkward . All made worse for there were no instructions . The end tank was a bit big and wouldn't fit straight in , without cutting the bottom of the bay cover , in order to be able to access the top fittings

I set it all up on Saturday let it run for about 20 hours , came back and all was dry . So set about rebuilding the rig . overall I,m pleased with the result except the hose color . With having an MPower mobo , I thought I would use the yellow , from that , and use Viper fans , yellow hose and black fittings . But from the shop I used they only had uv yellow ( I wanted to use 1 shop to be sure it all came together ) That's an easy fix with a dye so no biggie . I didn't get round to taking many pics , but here are a couple for now.

Alphacool Nexxxos Monsta 240
2 x Noctua NFP12's
2 x Akasa Viper S- flow 120
1 Akasa Viper s flow

You've done a good job there mate, if you want a proper yellow then I would suggest grabbing 1 or 2 bottles of Mayhems Pastel Sunset Yellow:

I've been using it for a year and it was exactly what I wanted in my loop. Seeing's as your loops is brand new you shouldn't have any issues just draining, rinsing with some DI water then putting the pastel yellow in, I think it'll give you the effect you're looking for

EDIT: Ah you're using UV yellow tubing.. Hmmm, in which case you'd need to get some clear tubing to get the most out of the pastel.

I have just ordered some Mayhems yellow dye for now , just as an easy fix . I have been hearing loads of people having bad experiences with the pastels lately . Did a read somewhere that he has joined forces with another guy / company ? not sure ...
