Pastel can be made UV active. How ever its a pain to do and not cheap. Pastel UV white is UV Blue under UV light.

When i get more free time to develop ill look into it more but unfortunately i don't have much time available as im run ragged doing every thing else.

i would recommend ec6 uv blue.looks nice and does not cause any reaction problems with nickle.

Neither does X1 or Pastel

Source: Gregor @ EK

iirc he said X1, Pastel, EC6, Phobya and some other premix fluids were tested and fine with EN Nickel blocks.

that's because we sent ek a Shoot load of stuff to test and we all so test for them

Doesn't look quite as nice as Mayhems IMO

Also, the mayhems dye dropper bottles requires a lot fewer drops to get a really nice deep colour. The EK ones require 100ml where the mayhems needs only about 3 drops for similar effects

Since the Mayhems dye only needs a few drops, does that mean there's no real way it could leave residue in blocks and tubing? Have read some tales of colour separating and needing to be cleaned out?

It can still leave stains, but not too bad, it's relatively easy to clean off blocks, although it did take GRegor some time to clean it all off and he used some metal polish

Cool, its just stains at least is it? I mainly want to avoid any of the problems where residue can actually block things. I figure with three drops or whatever that can't cause any problems even it all separated?

Never had anything blocked using mayhems dyes

That's a showpiece, not a 24/7 coolant.

Yup. I would have got it otherwise. Veering towards the UV Blue premix

Considering how much I (and then in turn, you) upgrade our graphics cards, the dropper will be a LOT cheaper

Really? Damn I've been using it as 24/7. Seems to be alright though my blocks aren't that dirty on the inside it's just eventually the pearl starts to slowly drop apart from inside the res.

hat's why it isn't a 24/7 thing

AFAIK, Mick said using it for too long/with high restriction will mean it's just concentrated X1, i'm sure he'll comment soon

muffles · 22 Jul 2012 at 19:11

Sounds good

muffles · 22 Jul 2012 at 19:20

(to the no blocking)

The pearl gets caught in areas of deadwater etc (not blocks I'm led to believe).

From the official description:

Aurora is not designed for constant use. It has been developed for show System's (modding) and Photo work. The life span of Aurora Coolants is around 6months. Please keep this in mind when ordering. If looking for a fluid for a Home system / Gaming system please use Mayhems X1 or Mayhems Pastel range of fluids there are fully tested and working in any kind of loop.
