No. Food dye is not for use in pc watercooling. Lowest I would go is to use antifreeze if no other option is available. Either use proper parts and fluids or don't do watercooling at all.

I do have the EK cryofuel clear but since my pc is red themed I want to make the fluid red. I guess I'll just buy a red concentrate.

That would be best option. EK even makes the blood red one.

ek makes a few red fluids. But if you really want dump that food coloring in and enjoy it for a short period.

Pastel red concentrate? Or blood red cryofuel?

Didn't know they sold that in a concentrate version. Running that fluid in both of my rigs at the moment. Want to go back to pastel in atleast one though.
