Mayhems coolant question

[aamirilliyas123]

Is this coolant reliable or is it a bad coolant?

Guys??

Use distilled water with biocide or kill coil.

Don't waste your money on coolants.

I want a black coolant not dislilled water.

Buy black tubing and use pure distilled water OR use transparent tubings with dye, but u may notice, that all dyes are tend to gunk up your loop.

@paprikman

Is this coolant in the link reliable?

Thats all.

[paprikman]

Long shorly: as for me - no. Why:

• you gonna pay 17.25$ for 250ml (even when add distilled water), when u should need nearly 1,5 liters for a simple cpu gpu loop
• risk of ruinning all wc loop because of coolant gunking
• again, pay a lot when you will need to refill your loop

It is always up to u to choose.

To actually answer your question, yes it is reliable. Mayhems is the only colored coolant I would recommend.

 

It has all the biocides and anti-corrosives you'll ever need mixed in and no, it will not gunk up your loop. Mayhems has put a lot of research and thought into their coolants and how they manufacture them including working with Ice Dragon Cooling to develop coolants made from nano-particles too small to gunk up your loop. 

 

What you should know is that: almost all Mayhems coolants have the potential to (permanently) stain your tubing and water blocks. Some water block stains can be removed with a white vinegar + distilled water solution, new tubing can be bought. It is something you'll have to potentially deal with if you really want colored coolant in your loop though.

It's something he'll have to really deal with only if he intends to change his coolant color later or sell off components due to upgrades: i.e. he upgrades his video card, needs a new block and decides to eBay the old card and block together. Otherwise, so long as you continue to use the same coolant color, staining isn't what I would consider a huge concern.

Listen I know your trying to help and all but you're not answering what's being asked, instead you push your own personal opinions on the OP which isn't helpful, Mayhems coolant is pretty damn good, so much so that EK and Ice Dragon have both worked with them for creating coolants. Distilled water needs precautions and even with kill coils in them still need to be changed every so often, a coolant, less so and for the love of god, coolants don't gunk up like they used to!

You water cooling setup is maden to cool your pc, not to look at it. If u wanna risk with coolants - it's up to you, but I won't.

If you're going to go through the trouble of creating a water cooling loop, why not create something that looks good in the process?

It's ok, do it. You can't paint the res, so there comes dyes and premade coolants.

But, as I said, I don't wanna risk, so for me distilled water is the only way to do this.

Not implying it's a huge concern. Just a pretty likely and potentially unwanted side-effect that one should be aware off.

What risk? Other than staining? Distilled water gets murky after a while and you should change it more often than "coolants".

If u would read it properly, u would see: the risk of gunking. If u wanna deal with dyes - use it. I just won't.

[Jedicake]

If you get any gunk in your loop it is most likely the fault of plasticizer leaching from the tubing, that is then dyed by the dye in the loop.

 

There is virtually no risk with dyes. You're going to be doing maintenance on the PC every year or so anyway.

Urm, why would it gunk up?
