So i'm building basically the same system as the one from the $2000 build guide linus did but im doing it in an air 540 and im water cooling it

 

i have it all planed out i am going to use Crystal Link but i cant decide on the color of the coolant the build is going to be fully black but i dont know what to get a Ice white Coolant or a Black coolant so i kinda need some help deciding what will look better

 

thanks guys

I think Ice white would look good.

why not get white or black tubes and use distilled+biocide?

i don't like that normal tubing i think it looks to clunky that's why i am going with crystal link so i can keep everything nice and tidy also i don't like colored tube because if i ever want to change the color it means i have to replace all the tube! thanks for the suggestion thought :)

I just have to ask; Do you know what you're getting yourself into with acrylic tubing?

I wouldn't go with crystal link for the whole thing I would only use it for the tight spots in the CPU and motherboard area and GPU but not for a whole system because bitspower donesn't really make big sizes so you will need heaps of different types of fittings.

I was going to ask same thing as @Ghost. :) A complete Crys Link build would be a very advanced project. But, given that, I think the white coolant would pop. The black would just be lost in the rest of the black and be pretty "meh".

I vote for white. I think black on black would just look bad and hide all the work you did.
