    My post is a little confusing I know...I didn't dye the fluid initially, my Pure PC fluid was clear the first 2 times I did the loop, the water was turning yellow before any dye(red gunk in the fusion block). On the 3rd build I flushed and filled with Prue PC and added the dye(I thought it might help, pee water lookd bad), it didn't really do much right away, after about a week or so it started to get darker, orangeish in color. There is no way DYE caused this issue it was a galvanic reaction that started before I added any dye.

    I want to post a pic but I also don't want to hurt swiftech rep or piss Gabe off as I'd like them to send me a new top. I'll probably know what their position is later today.

    Galvanic my arse! Galvanic is a blueish gray color, not orange. If it's really not the dye as you claim, you've got something none of us have seen before.

    Well others say different, http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...180445&page=56
    Look at post 1397.

    My GTX top had a whole bunch of chips and cracks in it which were not protected by the coating they use. I think the sludge you see in the picture was corrision that turned orange after the dye was added. Here's a pic of the top with the sludge cleaned off, are you still going to tell me that's not corrision caused by mixed metals?
