Which do you prefer?

[Lays]

Do you have any favorite red coolants, if so what are they?  If you have any other suggestions for red coolant, please link it+ tell me what it's called and post a picture if you can, it'd be a great help. (I already have clear tubing, don't suggest red tubing pls)

 

My 2 favorites so far: EK or Mayhems "blood red" or.. Mayhem's Pastel Red.

 

 

Reasoning:

 

 

I'm currently in the process of finding a different color to replace my coolant.   Mayhem's blueberry just doesn't look as good as I thought, due to my red/black motherboard.  I didn't really think things through when I did it, it does look nice as long as you don't see the red on the board, but in my head I know it's there so it bugs me. (OCD op) The more and more I look at my rig, the more I wish I would of done red/black in the first place.

 

I'm planning on redoing my rig with red+black, because it'll look MUCH better. I may even watercool my motherboard while I'm at it. I've also ordered my new power supply yesterday (evga supernova 1000 p2), and will be sleeving myself, or buying some extensions/premade custom cables for it.  

 

 

One quick question though, would it be worth when I drain my loop to get some kind of T fitting, add a drain valve with a barb fitting on it, then attach a tube and run it out the back of my case whenever I need to drain it? I've only had my loop together for like.. 1 month or so, cleaning it out should be a pretty simple process. 

 

 

 

 

Current rig looks:

Distilled water looks the best IMO.

Distilled with Mayhem Dye. I'm sure most will agree.

Which dye? There's deep red & normal red, not quite sure what would match best, I sorta like the see-throughness of the distilled vs coolant. I may go down the road of using dye, I'd need a kill coil+ anti corrosives then right?

 

 

My cables should look a bit like these:

You should totally go for red and black, especially since you have an ROG board!

And go for the normal red imo

I think I may do red dye with distilled water, so it's still see-through, but full of color.  I dunno if I like the look that coolant gives, it almost looks like thick paint in the tubes/res instead of water

Red tubing and distilled water, or you will be throwing parts away in a year once the dye has deposited itself across the inside of your entire loop. Dyes decreasing the cooling capability of the loop and they clog up the waterblocks and coat the tubing. Looks nice for a month or two and then it starts to look a bit rubbish.

I clearly said in the OP and I quote:  " (I already have clear tubing, don't suggest red tubing pls) "

 

I've seen many of people that have had no issues at all with coolants, the majority of the time the culprit seems to be the plasticizer in the tubing that comes off and gunks things up.

Mayhems does not clog and is by far the best dye out there.

I am surprised you are going to the usual red/black build that seems to be the norm these days, your current rig looks pretty good. If anything, you can get a bigger reservoir and do that case some justice. I have a 900D myself but I am finding it small now lol.

It just sorta bugs me that the motherboard doesn't match at all, drives me crazy lol.   You're rig is red/black isnt it? or was it like white/red/black?   I think if I get a bigger res that may help as well, I may get that clean CSQ cpu block instead of my clouded plexi one with the circles, (the site I bought it from made it seem like I was getting the other one) I couldn't be bothered to send it back so I just kept it lol.

Mine is silver(white)/red/black.

Arent mayhem dyes a shot in the dark for if theyll clog etc?

I would do red tubes with distilled water.
