overclocking coolant

[breamy1990]

ive just filled one of my loops up with plain uncoloured fesar one coolant

now rather than drain it to refill with coloured coolant (loop looks boring when its just clear)

im thinking off adding red food die, so i have a red/blue theme, if i added it would i notice any difference ? or would i be fine doing it ?

Food die often settles out into little bits which can then clog your block and pump.

or at the very least stain your tubing quite badly, I recall using it once then draining my loop, the water came out clear and the tubes stayed red!

you can get feser UV active dye which might be a better idea, just be warned, red is a very hard colour to achieve in watercooling, you might be better off buying proper blood red feser or you may end up with wishy washy pink.
