I appreciate that position, but I believe most coolants have a shelf life anyways. I wonder if it would really be that different.

I just think that it's cool to have a way to somewhat visually represent the temperature change without any controllers, or resources being used. It's like a rainmeter skin on my case ..

What do they use to dye/colour current water cooling liquids? (Also I Understand that it may have different corrosion standards)

I will probably heed that advice, but I may test my luck for the sake of science with a 1050ti I have kicking around.

at a particular temperature "in this case" 25°C (77°F). I would imagine that you could achieve some cool effects if the outside and inside of the fan were to be at different ambient temps. I'm going to give that a peek, thanks! "Thermochromic pigments have a micron size of 0.01" I don't know if it would gum up a pump, or how it would react diluted into a solution that is constantly moving. Would be cool to test this stuff though.

Good point, however, removing the "I" component. Could a manufacturer get my intended result?

I was just watching a video about Thermochromic Pigments. I started wondering, What if I were to paint some of my PC parts with this stuff? Even just the fans? https://www.technoglowproducts.com/thermochromic-pigment/ "Thermochromic pigment change color or become invisible at a particular temperature in this case 25°C (77°F). Some may refer to thermochromic pigments as "heat sensitive pigments". Limitless combinations and effects can be achieved with thermochromic powder. Color changing pigments can be used for print, plastic molding, resin casting, painting, screen printing and much more! Cover a design or pattern that will be revealed once the correct temperature is reached. Or even create new colors by mixing thermochromic powder with an already tinted paint and create a color changing effect. Use our clear acrylic paint with glow powder to make your own glow in the dark thermochromic paint. Thermochromic pigments have a micron size of 0.01 and are encapsulated. Encapsulation makes it waterproof so it won't be destroyed or dry out the medium you chose to mix it into. It is non-toxic but should never be ingested or put in direct contact with the eyes, nasal or ear passages, or mouth." I don't know much about thermodynamics, but I am wondering, how would this effect temperatures of certain parts? What other issues may I be concerned about if I try this? Other questions; could a manufacturer make parts (Like watercooling tubes) that have Thermochromic properties?

I stumbled upon the Razer Quartz Edition and thought I would share it as a possible techie Valentines day gift idea.

sources say that Nokia scored the USA/Mexico Wall contract.

Do you think LINUS will do a controller mounted LTE/tablet in a video?

That is terrible, I'd say destroy it but it's probably bulletproof.

After watching the twitch stream today, i got to thinking that if a company were to launch a "Next Generation" gaming phone it would need to bring new features to the market and introduce new innovation rather than just upgraded hardware. My thoughts- A flat joystick in place of the home button, that can also be used for menu navigation outside of games. Trigger bumpers on the corners of the phone that can be enables / disabled depending on your orientation finger fitter buttons on the back of the device that work for game controls as well as OS functions outside of the game. Large Internal/External storage capacity, Fast Wired/Wireless charging, A case that adds extra "controller like" feel when gaming for longer sessions as well as adding as an external battery backup. Fast screen refresh rate Multi Antenna wifi card, possibly a way to have a hardwired connection. What do you think?
