UV die FADES???

I use blue FrozenCPU dye & I have not noticed fading at all. The only thing really is that I use water wetter so the tubes get cloudy & that is the only kind of "fading" I notice.

Ok you need to try using Rit Whitener & Brightener instead of blue UV dye you get from FrozenCPU and other places. Its a laundry treatment thats in a powder form and all you do is pour a little bit in your t-line or res and it looks awsome and lasts FOREVER plus it smells good. 
I ran it in my old system and never noticed any effect on my temps or anything plus you can get it at your local grocery store for about $1.50 a box. Heres a couple pics of my old system with the Rit in it(scroll down a little)

Ok. I dunno what kinda crap dye u used if it went in a matter of hours. I got some wildfire and gave the blue to a friend, whos been using it for several months now. And his water is still as blue as the day he put it in. (actually just asked him coz i found what u said disturbing)
Wildfire is actually the best dye ive used to date.

thank you for thye welcome. Sorry if my tone seems a bit ofensive. English isnt my first language, and sometimes i do mistakes. What i meant is; Im sorry i got a bad batch of dye, my personal experience with wildfire dye is of orange,yellow,blue andinvisible blue. Maybe i was just lucky, but neiother me or the friend who got the blue from me has had any fading so far, and its been 2 1/2-3months now.
Hope that is more civil to say, and yet again i appologize for the clumpsy statement earlier.

i got some orange dye from wildfire 2 days ago. still looks sweet, and still glows.
used to have orange coolant with highlighter dye in it and now it looks like tang
.
my only guess to fading is possibly some chemical reaction. some of the people using the blue dye also used water wetter. from what i've read, water wetter has a base chemical, kind of like a detergent, it would make sense that mixing other solutions would cause a break down in the structure of that solution into seperate ions.
i would recommend trying the dye in water in a cup to see if it fades.
