Translucent White Coolant?

[DieHardPC]

Just out of interest, I was looking at some beautiful builds with white coolant, but I was just wondering wether it would be possible to create a coolant that was somewhere between pastel white and clear?

I'm not a cooling expert at all, but wouldn't that be very simple to do? I'd assume it's just water with a few drops of white paint.

I guess so, but all the white concentrates I can find also have chemical inhibitors, so I was just thinking wether I can add less concentrate and still prevent biochemical growth, or in simpler words, can I add less inhibitors than usual into distilled water and still achieve the same effect

I guess it would be possible to use a clear premix and a small amount of dye (not paint), but it may affect the effectiveness of the coolant

paint? PAINT? i mean ok if you don't love your components i guess

I think he meant dye

a small amount of white dye would make it cloudy-clear but should not affect the coolant unduly, not in the way a pearlescent would

Ok, well thanks, another shower thought solved

There isn't really a translucent white coolant but if you want something different there are pearlescent coolants like Primochill Vue which has reflective particles. Just be warned however even in best scenario Vue and other similar particle coolants tend to be very different to maintain and keep long term compared to pastel or transparent fluids.

der8auer used diluted EKWB CryoFuel Solid in his latest build, you can see it pretty well in this video

Just mix ek cryo fluid (or equivalent) with distilled water. You don't actually need inhibitors so don't worry about diluting them out of the solution. If you are still slightly paranoid, you can always drop in a silver kill coil.
