Coolants causing clogs?

I am looking to purchase the Thermaltake C1000 (White) coolant. However, reviews on Amazon seem to suggest that it can clog up your block(s). However, from my past experiences, Amazon reviews have been less than reliable. How accurate is this? Can these coolants really cause problems for your loops?

Yes.  Clear with a dye is pretty much the only way to not get some type of build up in the long run.  Or use colored tubing.

 

Mayhem Pastel is one of those "in theory" the particles that reflect light to create opacity are very fine and won't settle / clog, but long term I personlly think it's unavoidable.
