What colour for this loop?

TheNoviceModder · 25 Mar 2015 at 09:07

So, I'm currently running my system on simple bottled water. I wanna colour it up though & want something that'll either match or compliment my colour scheme. So, based on this picture, what do you guys suggest would look good in here?

black

I think you'll find it hard to match the gold, you might be better with black.

I find it terribly disconcerting that that asus usb appears to be floating......

Try Mayhems oil black for it.

Make sure to get something that will add protection from corrosion/aliens not just dye.

+1 for Black

There was a build log where someone had used a black/metallic grey combo that remained separate within the loop (not describing it well) I'll see if I can find the log as that could look sweet in your build...

Don't mayhems make personalized dye (on request) for builders if you send them a sample of the colour you're trying to achieve?

Purple!

Bart_Hunt · 25 Mar 2015 at 13:21

Lol, Disco

Black or Sunset Yellow

Well gold is 51/43/0 r/g/b so maybe you could make it up from the dye? Then use black to darken it till it looks like a thick gold? You'd only need 3 dyes at max to get a good gold.

You can make it simplier racios of 17/14/0 but the colour won't be as golden.

me personly i would just use clear coolant it looks fine the way it is. Some times simple is elegant.

I've sent them a message asking them about this service. If possible I'll ask for a few samples of different colours they make up for me & I'll decide then which one looks best.

I was considering Sunset Yellow actually

If you find the log/thread, post it to this thread please. I'm really intrigued!

Yeah, I like elegant things, especially with pc's. But with this build, I'd love to give the coolant a liquid gold look. A golden aurora coolant would be perfect!

Ive got you message and respond over emails now

Ok, lots of searching but found it: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18619726&page=7

It's Jameswalt1's epic "Parvum Warfare" build. If you don't have time to read through, he used Mayhems Aurora 2 mixed with Mayhems Oil Black concentrate to get the effect. A black/gold mix (if possible) would look awesome!

Oh, yeah I get what you mean now aha. I imagined something completely different but yeah that's kind of what I've got in mind, but golden! Something special may be happening soon btw, so keep an eye out on my build log over the next few days

Luggs · 28 Mar 2015 at 13:30

Look forward to it! I thought instead of picking between black and gold, you could have both with something like this...

Go for clear. You'll thank me if you ever spill on the carpet

BTW I hope you mean distilled water rather than bottled drinking water. You definitely need some anti-corrosion additive even if it is distilled.
