Mayhems Aurora vs Ek´s UV

[The_Governour]

SO far I have allways just used distilled water with colored tubing as from what I have read then its the best and most clean for the system.

Now, I am in the making of a new project with a large WC unit in a gaming desk and where I have ordered white tubing, and also I will have my second system WC this time around with clear tubing.

For my second system then I have ordered some EK EKOOLANT UV LIME GREEN PREMIX but then looking around my eye caught the MAYHEMS AURORA that looks amazing.

Question is: how good is this Aurora? and vs the EK´s Premix? Would it be worth it changing my white tubing for my in-pc game desk? The WC loop there is big with 2 x 270 photon res + 1 x 480 rad + 2 x 360 rads.

The Aurora coolant does look amazing, but it's not recommended to leave it in loops for extended periods of time because it causes issues when the particles in the suspension are deposited. I'd definitely stick with the EK premix otherwise you'd need to change the coolant far too often.

Here is an excerpt from Mayhems' website:

Aurora is "NOT" made for use in a home system. It has been developed for show System's (modding) and Photo work. If looking for a fluid for a Home system / Gaming system please use Mayhems X1 or Mayhems Pastel range of fluids there are fully tested and working in any kind of loop.
