Non-conductive fluid?

[ITAngel]

Then distilled water and a biocide. 2-3 drops of IanH deadwater. All done, no worries.

Thanks for the links.

I've seen this from numerous dyes and pre-mixes.

Is there any kind of dye that will not gun up like the picture that was posted?

 

[ssjwizard]

Short answer is no, long answer is that some dyes will last longer than others, but in either situation to avoid complications expect to clean your loop far more frequently than loops without dye.

You can find copper sulfate anywhere that has aquarium supplies (pet store, etc)

Let me ask you a question. If Dye is so bad or premix, why does Jayztwocents recommend them? I am just curious as to why.

My best guess; he's sponsored by those companies to recommend them.

What kind of fluid were you using and brand? Nano fluid?

Those aren't my pics, I've only used Distilled water and I and H dead water. I took the liberty of saving those pictures from one of the horror stories ive seen posted here when people use dyes and don't maintain the system. Which, when using dyes you need to do a lot more often then when just using what has been suggested above. Just to be blatantly honest with you, I feel you're totally overthinking this whole thing. If you want color, get colored tubing, either way just use distilled water and silver coil and/or some biocide and call it a day. Forget about all the so called "better" liquids that are out there unless you're mixing metals you need nothing other then what has been suggested.

As just an example, my Fx8350 has been running for the better part of 3 years on just distilled and I and H dead water without issue. I use this rig at least 10 hours a day straight during the week overclocked to 4.7.

Yea true, Thanks! I don't have the PK nuke stuff, can I still build the setup while I order it in?

Go to the pet store and buy some liquid copper sulfate like I mentioned before. That's what PT Nuke is.

Oh okay I will make notes of that. Thanks!, how many drops do you put 2 or 3 once the loop is up and running?

 

[ATMINSIDE]

Typically four drops per quart or liter of water.

 

[ITAngel]

I c cool. thanks!

I first became a fan of it back in the '60s. We used 1 lb. on a 1 acre fishing pond topped with algae. Next day the algae had all sunk to the bottom and the blue gill fishing was a blast.

OP, as its been said, use PrimoChill Advanced color tubing and add some RGB LEDs for more colors if it isn't enough. Colored fluids are more for show rigs at venues and such.

To the OP - If you end up using any EK water cooling blocks you probably want to be aware of the following:

The new Nuke is PHN Nuke. PT was for older loops. PHN is the newer better stuff, I think it has no copper in it.. Deadwater is good, there is another.

Here ya go, all you have to do is add to cart ..........

Distilled water can be had for a buck a gallon at the grocery store

Agree with Manny, we are not putting a man on the moon here

he mentioned in this video that he is not sponsored by them

along with all the other drama and arguments with a customer service rep he got in with mayhams over the pastel fluid that spanned across youtube, twitter, and facebook
mayhams was the brand of orange dye he used in his custom hardline rebuild

he also mixed it with primochill clear fluid but I have no idea on their quality of fluid or if he is sponsored by them
