** Official Mayhems Development Log **

mlwood, have you used any of the monsoon lightport fittings with your fluid? I'm interested to see how brightly the lights shine through the fluid :)
 
Hi mark :D

The only pics I found were using pastel which wouldn't show much light through, I'll probably be sticking to x1 clear.
 
Weve just had a load of monsoon fittings sent and plasticizer free tubing how ever its all down at these warehouse (delivered to the wrong section of mayhems). So hopefully i will get it all in the next few days. Im not sure what is in the pack yet but we will be running full tests on both the tubing and the monsoon fittings and reporting back on it all. It will how ever take a couple of weeks testing as when we test tubing we do 20 tests on it and each test takes 3 hours (60 hrs testing in total). The fitting swill be testing before going into a live loop and then will go into a live loop. thats all i can say for now.

Be all right with a light or slightly see through colour fluid I imagine, but yes pastels would not work too well, as it is too opaque.

Look forward to seeing your results, the tubing from Monsoon too? I did notice they had tubing listed on their products page :)
 
Yeh it all just arrived. My mouth dropped and the tubing OMG... OMG ooooooo never been so excited over tubing before. Whoot and the fittings well ... i posted on the monsoon post go take a look.
 
First issue found with durelene tubing and compression fitting. The durelene tubing is very soft and can easily be pulled out of compression fittings due to how soft the walls are. How ever got to say i love the way this stuff bends but you going to have to do some planning before using it. I'll commence the torture testing today.

no the tubing is soft so you don't need to pull to hard. its running fine though we've just built my daughters pc up with it all in about 20 min. As long as you not stupid it all runs fine :).

Very girly indeed :)

I'm going to be using Mayhem's Pastel Red for my main rig.

For the other I'm thinking of using either the X1- Clear 1ltr with the red dye.

or

XT-1 150ml Red Coolant with 1L Ultra Pure H20.

Would you recommend one over the other?

I was thinking the X1- Clear 1ltr with the red dye may be easier to tailor to my liking.

Is there anything else I should be aware of?
 
I actually don't have a Fav coolant to me there all diffrent kettle of fish type thing.

XT-1 is less viscus and better at cooling, X1 is more echo friendly, Pastel well is for looks.

When you work with coolants day in day out you get used to them and nothing to me stands out to be the best of the best.
 
Since I only really need 1L I think I'll probably go for the X1 and a bottle of dye. Although saying that it works out around about the same to buy the XT-1 and 1L of Ultra Pure H20..

Hmm.. I'll maybe end up tossing a coin :)
 
So when I'm mixing XT-1 with the Ultra Pure H20 it's ok to be approximate with the measuring? I don't have speakers plugged in to this pc so I can't hear what's going on in the mixing video. You used roughly a third of the bottle to make up the L?
