Any one had any experience with these yet? Only just come across these and am curious, whats the consensus?

I will swap my actual ones to the black ones soon.

Want some for a build in an orange prodigy, they are low profile for compression fittings. Just giving me the heeby jeebies as the coolant im thinking about is one of those sexy mayhem pastels.....never used a full color coolant before. Just nervous lol

I have white versions of these with pastel mayhems. They look rather nice Mayhems pastel blue and orange in my case.

They look the dogs, i bought 3 packs of 6 and another 2, they aren't cheap! The 'wrench' doesn't fit around 7/16 tubing though which is a ball ache...

The blue is staining the tubing pretty bad though, but that's not entirely unexpected tbh.

What did you use to tighten it up in the end? I have been looking at the orange pastel for the orange case. Going to try and squeeze my old 5970 into it as it just sat gathering dust lol. Bad zoo with the hosing size as that was what I was going to go with. I'm sure I'll find a way.

I used Tygon 7/16 R3603 and I hand tightened them.. Believe me when I say just pinching them up with fingers is sufficient.. you can't pull the tube out lol.

If you fancy the Mayhems Gigabyte Orange, I highly advise picking up a bottle each of Yellow, Orange, and Red dropper bottle dye. It's a bit of a weak colour straight out the bottle, nothing like any of the product shots show at all.

I got mine filled and was quite disappointed, emailed them direct after having a chat with Ayd at Specialtech and got a yellow and red in the post completely free which arrived in a few days, super impressed. A few drops of yellow to sharpen the colour and red to deepen it and it's much more like what I wanted.

You read my mind lol my next question was going to be what the standard shade was like as I wanted to make it quite rich to match the almost rediculous shade of orange the case is. Thanks for that

 

[SuB]

Then i'd definitely pickup the yellow and red dye. The red will make it very pink but the yellow will pull it back to a lovely rich orange

Thanks for the heads up, when I finally pull my finger out and have some time (xmas hols lol ) il post a pic of the fittings and the coolant in action

no problem, i'll be putting my rig up for display in due course as well
