Tubing and coolant ?

[paulstung]

Yes another tubing and coolant question . I'm going to be buying everyrhing needed for a full loop , cpu only , and want to go all black hose with yellow coolant . The Lund pom plex res is all black with an awesome little window to show off color . My scheme is all black everything hose fittings and internals ,with yellow as an accent matching the MPower motherboard .So the yellow needs to be as close a match to that as possible .Cheers guys ...

I would suggest using Distilled water and a kill coil instead of colored coolant especially since you will be using colored tubing already. And the only portion of the coolant that you will see is thru a little window on the res.

With that said, Mayhems Pastel Yellow would probably be your best match.

I found this disclaimer on Mayhems website.
"Do not use Mayhems Pastel with Primochill tubing or Tygon tubing as Mayhems Pastel seems to react with it changing the color of the tubing to a greenish color. This is not the fault of Primochill, Tygon or Mayhems it is just a incompatibility issue. Pastel works fine with XSPC, Thermochill, Clear Flex, Masterclear and a few other brands."

So far for my order I have found the lund res and they sell a light module to take a 5mm led , so like you said clear coolant , with an led . I will order 2 modules for twin 5mm led's to get the best color. I'm going for the D5 vario with the Koolance Laing D5 top ,what size braid would i need ? for the pump wires

To add to the above, pastel doesn't work with masterkleer or clearflex either, it's just the effect isn't as bad as primochill/tygon

I would not use anything larger than 1/8 inch(3mm) sleeving for the pump wires.
