Custom Loop Colour Scheme?

Hi guys.

I already have a custom water loop in my system integrating my cpu and gpu.

My blocks and fittings are black,with clear tubing and white liquid.

 

However I am changing my tubing soon due to it getting dirty and I'm replacing my motherboard.

 

I'm unsure on what to do.. I want to stay neutral because I have rgb lighting etc..

 

I'm thinking of either:

-Black blocks

-Clear tubing

-Black liquid

-White fittings

-MSI 97a Krait edition mobo

 

OR

 

Keep the same config I have now (white liquid, black everything else)

 

I'm also using a fractal design define R4 case.

 

Any suggestions would be welcome:)

 

Thanks!

I hear bad things about clear tubing, something about decaying tubes that cause build up 3: Consider going for colored tubes?

I was thinking about that too.. In which case the question is the same, just white or black tubing/fittings?

If you get black liquid you won't be able to tell if stuff is corroding into it so easily. I'd colour the tubes not the liquid.

If you make a post contradicting mine that doesn't directly address my claims, or cites 'facts' without evidence, I'm probably not going to bother responding to it, because you probably didn't bother reading my post properly, and because life is too short. It doesn't mean I don't have an answer for you. It means I'm not dignifying you with a response.

Ok thanks,

 

In which case, white tubes and black blocks+fittings or white fittings and black tubes and blocks?

I would go for white fittings with black tubes and blocks.

Then find a way to add a little white here and there, like a cable or a fan.

As that is the color scheme of the motherboard, mostly black with a few white details.

I speak my mind, sorry if thats a problem.
