Best Anti-Freeze to Tint Orange?

[PerlAddict]

I've had some Cooler Master 80mm Blue LED fans lying around in a box for a while, so I just opened them. The led's are extremely easy to get to ... I could just clip the wires right off them and solder on a new one without much fuss at all. Be a little painstaking doing that for 11 fans (so 44 LEDs/88 tiny little wires), but it'd be easy.

I think I may just do that. =D Buy a bunch of fans and just replace the LEDs. Is 5mm the standard size, you think? I know I've seen some 3mm ones around, too. Not sure what size Cooler Master uses in its TLF-S12 120mm LED fans.

Though I may look at those SilenX fans some more, too. They're just expensive as all get out. =(

Would just replacing the Blue LEDs with Orange ones work? I know different colors have different power requirements and whatnot.

I have the Orange Dex-Cool in my loop. But at about 8%-10% it is basically clear. When I bought it I asked the guy at NAPA for red antifreeze and he gave me this stuff.

I didn't tell him it was going in my computer though

Awesome. I'll just pick up some of that, then. Are there different types of Dex-Cool? I think I saw some Prestone at Walmart last night, but I didnt notice if it was Dex-Cool or not.

I'll post pics of what I have and how it looks in my loop/the gallon of the stuff I made up when I was setting my system up...give me a sec. BTW, this is a 10% solution.

^^^ same stuff I have.

The cap on my orange dex cool was also orange, if that helps any.

EDIT
Herr Rogers used 15% and ended up with a nice orange flavor. To me its worth the loss in cooling capacity to use 5% more af, but to temp nazis it probably isn't worth it.

I like yours better - I saw his today and wanted to make sure I didn't get that dark. I figured the less opaque the anti-freeze is, the more the orange UV dye will shine.

The dye will shine no matter what, I'm sure. But less antifreeze is easier on your pump.

I've got orange anti freeze and orange UV dye in mine, I'm pleased with how it turned out.

exact same stuff i got to do a orange water loop for a friends setup. looks great with a dfi lp mobo behind it.

I don't really know, Probably 15% anti freeze if I had to guess. I kinda just put in enough to give it good color, then I added some orange dye I got from SVC. I do know I ended up using more dye that I thought I would.
