Hi there,

I saw that lots of people had problems with pastel like changing colors and making gunk. Some say that is made by using different materials inside. If I'm going using everything from ek (only fittings and tubing form primochill, will I get into any problems? Also how often do I need to change it?

 

Thanks

You should be replacing watercooling fluid every 6-12 months

If you do this there should be no colour changing or deposit issues

I would follow Endermans suggestion at 6-12 months. but i would also suggest erring on the side of caution and plan out a budget for regular 6 month intervals. planning out the budget for a fixed interval will make saving that much easier and if something happens that forces you to wait you'll have up to another 6 months to save again and make the replacement without having to stress over whether or not your fluid is still legit

With mayhems Pastal its really hit or miss. Your suppose to change every 6-12 months but some people have to do it much sooner then 6 months, others could go a lot longer.
