I have picked up two different types of Solution from Dazmode I picked up a Bottle of Ice Dragon and a Bottle of Feser One UV – Reactive – Non Conductive Color: Red now i have been doing a bit of reading that the Feser one liuid on some forums saying it will gunk up my blocks and restrict water flow mind you this post was in 2010
What lies beneath!!

i would think they have come a long way since then i want to keep with my theme inside my case now but with the uv lights i just bought and red feser liquid

I have clear hose and will be ordeering some red from Dazmode as the one I got from Aquq Tunning is not the right size

Aquatuning -Your watercooling and modding distributor - Masterkleer tubing PVC 11/8mm (5/16"ID) UV-reactive dark red 3,3m (10ft) "Retail Package" 58014

I have 10 feet of this if any one needs it but any input on this would be appreciated as i want to try and get system rebuilt by this weekend or next

My system now

they haven't
don't use feser it dyes the crap outa your res/tubes and leaves residue all through your system.

if you want color...use water with Mayhem's Dye and a biocide.

Mayhem's has the highest quality dyes on the market right now
they also work with Ice Dragon on some pastel colors that look amazing...check em out bud, ya wont be disappointed

Another solution would be to go with colored tubing and distilled/deionized water with biocide. You won't get the color in your res but your system will remain gunk free. Though you could always place LEDs behind your res to give it color too.

Gonna go with this
PrimoChill PrimoFlex PRO LRT Tubing 7/16" ID 5/8" OD with 3/32" Wall - 10ft Retail Pack - UV Red (PFLEXP10-758-R)
PrimoChill PrimoFlex PRO LRT Tubing 7/16" ID 5/8" OD with 3/32" Wall - 10ft Retail Pack - UV Red (PFLEXP10-758-R) - FrozenCPU.com

and probably use the Ice Dragon in it will still give me the affect i want

I was skeptical about this product but decided to purchase it anyway for the aesthetic of the white liquid to match my theme. When gaming, my GPU runs about 5-10c cooler. I have an i7 2600k and a GTX 580 Classified Hydro Copper in my loop. I was getting temps in the 42-47 range on the GPU while playing games like Battlefield 3 and now my temps are 37-42c.

there is another review in Japanese, but I couldn’t find it again..maybe later. I think there is a swedish one as well..

For the record, relttem is the creator of Ice Dragon...that's important to note. Also, all of the reviews he posted, barring that one in french (which had no methodolgy nor application specific testing), were of a completely unscientific nature.

relttem, since I know you're going to respond: I have no issue with you, nor with your product, but I have begun to take issue with the way it is marketed...you've really gotta be careful with how you go about these things or you'll end up as the next TT in that everyone who knows anything will avoid you and your products...and the WC community has a LONG memory (people are still mad about the TIII's ffs). I have no real interest in debating the merit of your fluid, I just wanted to write that up as a preemptive response, since I do not plan on responding if you respond to this post.

Well got the video card under water now think it looks good so far goning to wait till new hose comes in to setup with Ice Dragon but here is a couple of pics so far

that looks good with all the red. Its tough to get Ice Dragon deep red though if that is what you are going for. I worked for a while trying to get it blood red for OriginPC. I think Mick at Mayhem's has a deep red mix with Ice Dragon and some of his pastel stuff. Lowfat worked hard to get dark blue, and I tried to get the intel blue as well..that was tough.

(and than he walked away into the night) Common now get the narrative right

Sorry for the humor here but I swear I've heard this line before "I'am just going to leave this here and walk away"......I think it was a movie can't remember dammit!
