Posted January 11, 2014 Hi guys, What do you guys think about these 2 coolants?

Posted January 11, 2014 IMO mayhem pastel looks incredible with good lighting. The colour is opaque so it looks like as if you've used a colour tubing. If you're going for aesthetics then mayhem pastel is the one to go. Ice dragon fluid is expensive because it lasts longer in your loop. Either is a good coolant to use.

No, you can buy 1lt of ice dragon fir the price of a 250ml mayhems, mayhems is much more expensive. The lighting in my system is a NZXT Hue so it is pretty good i wonder if mayhems will make a noticeable diffrence because i care about looks alot and willing to spend more on better looks but i dont want to waste money too.

Posted January 11, 2014 That 250ml of Mayhems is a concentrate that gives you 1 liter with 750ml of distilled water. So unless distilled water is expensive where you are from, the Mayhems is cheaper.

So unless distilled water is expensive where you are from, the Mayhems is cheaper. Ohh i didnt know that i ve read a lot of good things about mayhems so if the price is equal i will pick mayhems anyday should i get the mayhems h20 water to go with it? And also how much water do i use with that 250ml mayhems i linked? (like is it 3ml to 1ml which would equal 250 to 750 = 1lt) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 11, 2014 If you have easy, inexpensive access to distilled water then just buy that- no need for fancy pure water. It is a 1:3 ratio of pastel concentrate to water as mentioned on the product page. Sponsored Build log (In Progress): The Utterly Imbalanced CaseLabs TX10-D build(s)!

Posted January 12, 2014 Ice dragon really comes into the frey at higher temps, I have tried Mayhems variant as mayhems and ice dragon are partners. I'd stick with pastel mate.

Posted January 12, 2014 You can use the mayhems water, it's just distilled water that has been filtered extra times. Do not use mineral or tap water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
