Okay, so I would like to admit that I already have built a beast gaming PC with an overclocked i5 6600K and an (also overclocked) MSI GTX 1070. However, I am planning on selling this PC off next year to buy parts for my next PC, which will have an AMD Ryzen 7, or an Intel Core i7 (or if they release another i9 line). This PC will have a fully custom water cooling loop, and it will be themed around the Tron character, Rinzler, who has a black and orange color scheme. Basically, I need a water coolant that is A: Orange, and B: Looks like the picture i've added (basically, I want it to kinda have that "glow" effect that the water coolant in the picture has). Links and suggestions are all I need my dudes. Thanks!

 

(EDIT: This PC is not mine, its just what i want my coolant to look like)

Pretty sure that "glow" is just some strategically placed lights and possibly(most likely) some editing. I mean look at the bottom two PCI slots, and cables on the 24pin, they have the same "glow" as the liquid has.

 

Edit - actually there is purple in there, so i'ma have a guess that it's using UV lights :P

Clear coolant with UV reactive dyes is your best option. You'll need UV lighting in the case as well to make it glow. Mix dyes until you get the colour you want. I'd advise mixing before filling the loop, rather than trying to add the dyes once the loop is filled. If you cock up the dyes, you don't have to drain the whole loop that way.

you need UV lights and a UV reactive liquid to get this glow effect, tough i donlt know if the result will be as vibrant as the pic you posted!

There are quite a few UV coolants out there. Looks like just a basic yellow or orange UV coolant and the purple/blue colored lights would be the Blacklight/UV-A light that causes the reaction for the glowing effect.

Could you maybe recommend some coolant brands that would sell this type of coolant in orange?

Could you possibly recommend (link) me a good long-lasting brand of UV LED strips? Thanks!

Take a look at Mayhems, they're really the go-to for coolants.

CableMod's WideBeam RGB/UV strips are good.
