What coolant / Dye?

Dominic-Toretto · 29 Apr 2018 at 23:23

Hey,

I love the look of Mayhems Aurora but I see it is only for show use.

Primochill vue looks very similar but has terrible reviews. What is a good coolant / dye that can be run 24/7 with out worries of it clogging up after a week?

Thanks

Mayhem's X1 Clear is a worth a look, good price too on OCUK

You can then use the Mayhem's dyes to colour to your tastes

Yeah I've just bought some Mayhem's Pastel for my new build, though they can be an issue for some people and may need block cleaning on long term use, but I personally like them

Mayhems pastel can be used daily, had the white in my system for several years (I stick with white after maintenance flushes) and it's not caused any issues.

I've used deionised water plus mayhems pastel for 4 years. No clogging at all - but after a year or so it does leave minor stains.

Any of the Mayhems X1 will work just fine. Been using them for several years now.
About once a year I strip down and flush my system out, which is usually when I change colour. Started on blue, went to green, mis-ordered and ended up with UV red, but have just done an upgrade/rebuild and am running Blood Red.

You do get a bit of build-up if you don't flush the system frequently enough, but we are talking a good year plus...
I will probably go clear on my next build, to further reduce build-up and make better use of the RGBs in the case.

Do I need any kill coil / biocide stuff with the Mayhems pastel range? Or does the Mayhem Pastels already have it pre-mixed.

It's already pre-mixed
