Best RED coolant?

I'm on the verge of ordering all my watercooling parts and I'm debating what coolant to go with. I do want it to be red as that's going to be the theme of the build. I don't want to go with colored tubing like Primochill LRT but rather colored coolant. I've heard positive and negative things about Primochill Ice and Feser One coolant, but Feser's red looks more like a pink then a red. Also a lot of mixed reviews on Fluid Xp+ Nanofluid, some say it's great, others mention clogging.

So what does everyone think the best colored coolant is in terms of performance and actual color? It has to be red!

Red tubing is the bed red coolant. You want dyes? Be prepared for the chance of many problems.

The blood red fluid XP I had in Hellmouth was in great shape when I drained it. If you use it, use the LT stuff as it is already thinned down. this is IF you must have red coolant.

Use red LRT tubing with fluid xp blood red or clear LRT tubing with it? I'd prefer clear tubing.

How long was the coolant in there when you drained it?

some people just warn against colored fluids as they cause problems from time to time and its not worth it for most of us to chance somthing going amuck in our loop.

that said I would use colored tube aswell..

Couple years. Also had blood red in my old clinic duality server for a couple years running 24/7 and it came out fine.

No gunk or reside left over? And did you say you used LRT tubing? I was thinking of using tygon with fluid xp+nano.

With that fluid I used Tygon and Fluid XP LT (not nano). Or maybe it was Fluid XP EXt cut with distilled water. same thing

no. have not tried it so i cannot comment.

Alright thanks for the help.

Colonel_Volx: One you can buy is still worse then distilled. I doubt that prototype one that was tested by IIRC Vapor(or skinnee?) is available for public. +temp gains were minimal, and color milk-white, not red.

Recommend you use red primochill LRT and pure distilled + silver kill coil. I'm concerned that the dyes will stain your loop if not. Been there, done that.

I'll say it again.

dyes?

New red coolant from Thermochill. Haven't seen it myself but alot of folks have been waiting for this to come out. EC6 is nice stuff (I've used the UV green and about to use the blue).
