Coolant Discoloration?

Hello forum.  I was wondering if my EK Pastel Red coolant is discolored...

 

I just installed everything and the loop has been stable for about a week.

 

Is it worth checking to make sure no gunk has entered the loop, or is this normal?

 

Also, my temps have seemed a little high.

 

Running PRIME95 8 workers on max heat, I am getting 65 degrees C on cpu.  Pump is turned up to max.

 

CPU is 2nd block in loop.

65 seems a little high. What's your radiator configuration?

240 in front and 360 in top although the fans arent hooked up to the top rad because I need a female to female 3 pin to connect 3 fan pcb to aquaero :(

 

And that would explain the temperatures. Once you get them hooked up, your temperatures should be fine, then.
