That's a great looking loop! However I can't seem to see where it starts & ends

All of them are pretty good, as long as you dont put them in your loop.:ROTF:

I strongly recommend colored tubing, with any kind of dye you are looking at build-ups, separations, clogging, etc... I think unless you are the type of person to tear down your loop every 6 months, you should stick to clean water and silver, seems to work the best. Has worked for me for over a year... Seen too many horror stories about dye to even try it out.

yeah you're right. but thanks for the link :p:

On dyes, I can't tell you which one to get but which one not to get: Aquatuning/Innovatec Protect UV (I had green). It looks amazing, as does the red one, but after only one month I had residue stuck in my heatkiller fins. And if you turned the pump off and let the water sit for a while, there were floating bits settling on the floor of my bay res - they weren't from badly cleaned radiators!

I have seen a lot of pictures of people using G48 (anitfreeze & anti-corrosive) in their system, obviously diluted in distilled water. The colour is very nice, but it's blue.

If you are looking for some awesome Dyes, Check out Mayhem.

Hes lurking somewhere around these forums (hes also got a thread around here somewhere). Ive just been a lurker this past year so I havnt kept up too much but im sure now that ive mentioned it someone after me will post up a link to him for ya ;).

But ya, he makes some custom dyes that are pretty sick and from what ive seen can match just about w/e color scheme you are looking for. So If I were you id talk with him.

Nothing beats dyes , I thought of PrimoChill PrimoFlex PRO LRT Tubing , but still nothing beats dyes at all , but also I'm not the kind who clean his WC every 6 months :S

about Mayhem, this is what I've found
http://www.frozencpu.com/products/12071/ex-liq-156/Mayhem_Liquid_Cooling_Dye_-_Brightest_Available_-_Candy_Red_5mL.html?tl=g30c103s779#blank

but its not dark red , its bright , frozencpu.com doesn't have any other red color for that kind , only Primochill got the Blood red dyes . and I guess they are not safe ?

As far as I have been educated the dye will not break up and clog your system what does that is the additives in premixed solutions. The dye will eventually stain all your watercooling parts, but it can be cleaned off acrylic and metal parts. But tubing will be more difficult to clean.

I can't recall where I saw it but I'm pretty sure Screamer said it was a custom blend of pre-miexes to make that color. I would contact mlwood37 (Mayhem's dye) here and talk it over with him, he should be able to set you on the right path.
