Kurald Galain goes Hardline, What coolant?

[Curufinwe_wins]

Hey there... Kurald Galain is going full custom water cooling soon (well as soon as this shit is ordered and comes in). 

 

I already know basically what my plans are for all the pieces:

 

Primochill PETG 1/2in

Primochill revolver 3/8 x 1/2 fittings x10

EK-Supremacy Evo x99

EK Nickel+Acetal TF5 blocks

EK-FC dual parallel 3-slot

EK-XRES 140 D5

Alphacool Nexxxos ST30 420 rad (going up top)

Not decided on the 280 rad I want in front... (feel free to recommend one, but please don't recommend a non-280 size as I want to move around my current fans).

 

 

But I'm not sure what coolant I want to be using... I have heard mixed things about the Ek-ekcoolant, and the feedback Jay has had makes me much less interested in Mayhem's lineup (although I probably wouldn't have touched pastels anyways).

 

So what is a coolant you guys would recommend (besides DI water for the love of god)?

yea... Mayhem needs to figure out their dyes first, and I'm not sure I want to copy arctic panther here...

Also got a 280 rad recommendation?

That setup looks good, fluid wise if your asking me, Mayhems is a bit of a toss up right now since some are experiencing issues with their pastel fluids, however not all them are affected as much. There was a thread on this here that we were discussing about it if your interested:

Personally I'm using pastel white without any real problems, while my loop has been up for about 5-6 months now there are small particles from the fluid that cling to the to top edge of my res, but not major settling or precipitation.

@ThatOneRussian Sorry to bother you two, but obviously you will understand the value of an additional pair of eyes here...

 

Anything you guys see that doesn't make sense? Two rad, cpu+2xgpu loop.

Overall everything looks good, one thing with hardline is adding a drain system or dedicating an extra rad port as a drain with a valve is another good option. You have more than enough radspace for the CPU and dual GPU.
