Quick Q, what is the shelf-life of the pastel? Officially and unofficially?

I've got a bottle of Pastel white that I never used, from 2011 I think. I'm coming up to giving the custom loop an overhaul. Am I too late to use the Pastel white? Its never been opened.

Oh man, just got my rads a couple of weeks ago.
Wouldve love the white versions to match my theme!
:(

I noticed the finish on the black seems to scratch or smudge very easily though.
 
Yeh it does the rad above is just one we painted. You can paint the black ones but the ones above were primed before paining which is what we are selling.
 
Erm we had some one use self tappers and go straight threw the screw guard .... We sat there palm facing our self for a few hours.
 
if i use the EK Water Blocks EK-Supremacy EVO with Mayhems Aurora 2 silver or any of them do i need to take the plate out of the block as per aurora 1, beens there is a difference in partical size now. plus can i use this as a normal system eg: games, editing and so on, as previous version it was just for show.

We recommend you remove the plate all the time so that it creates a higher turbulent flow. You only lose 1c to 2c by removing the plate.

You you use a simple system Aurora can last upwards of 1 year plus but only if the system is built for it. If it is not, it wont last that long. There is no "it will last this long" as Aurora is unpredictable in its nature alone.

what are the signs to change fluid, temp rise, it will only be on a system of 2 rads cpu+gpu
 
We always recommend 1 rad, 1 cpu block or gpu block, 1 pump and 1 tube res nothing more. Keeping it simple helps a lot. You know when you need to clean out due to the fact the aurora seems to disappear.

Mayhems Aurora is a fickle coolant, Its made for looks and looks alone, how ever if and only if you build you system around arouna you can get it to last a very long time. If your not prepared to go to these lengths then aurora wont last in the system. We did not make aurora for the normal user we made X1 and XT1 for them, Then pastel for modders and Aurora for show case PCs.
 
Hey,
is there any significant difference between your pre mixed pastel and using the concentrate with DI from a garage?
There's not much in the price difference from what I see, but it does make it easier to carry home from work :p
