Eh. Did Alex/APES build you rig?

As for the colour, pale white or turn yellowish ?
*
yes alex was the one that builded the wc setup biggrin.gif
Not to say pale or yellowish but it dosen't look as white as it first was. Couldn't find review on this but Alex told me this was the downside going with mayhem pastel.
Performance wise it still is as cool as it was from day 1 smile.gif

infernoaswen Thanks for the info, copied for future reference. ^^ So it is not advisable to add dye into pastel I assume? sad.gif

Yeah, from me. haha! You shouldn't see plasticiser from using acrylic tubing. But algae is a possibility if the biocide effect runs off.

You CAN add dye into pastel. In fact, Mayhems dye is compatible with pretty much all their products. They use white base and dye to make all sorts of colours. Just not advisable to add biocide to your pastel coolant (or any Mayhems coolants for that matter).

BTW, UV reactive white, IINM has a slight yellow tinge compared to ice white, causing it to look not as bright as ice white.
*
Ohhh if I add white dye can ah? Make it more white? lol. At night the pastel still look as great as it was just that when in morning or there's light around it look a little bit yellow tinge like u said. smile.gif

Alex bought it from pristine via me laugh.gif There is nothing to worry about plasticizer, thats the advantages of using acrylic tubing biggrin.gif

You can add dye into it, shouldn't be a problem but I dont see why you would want to add dye to white pastel. If the colour combination didn't turn out to your liking then you are stucked with whatever colour you have laugh.gif Dye contains just dye, it should be safe. Just dont  need to add biocide.

Usually we use dye for distilled water like in my loop smile.gif
*
haha no wonder~~ despite its little yellow on the morning it still is a beauty at night. Can't stop looking at it before going to bed haha.
Neways the lifespan should be roughly around 2-3 years right? But should change loop once in every 5-6months?

Good to know you like the colour.

2-3 years is actually kinda possibly overexpecting. Lifespan is about a year-ish. You don't NEED to flush/clean/rinse your loop unless you have a good reason to, but it's a good habit if you wanna just check to see if everything is fine. Or if you've got temperature issues and want to see the cause.

Some guys run maintenance on their loops once a year or once after 18 months. Depends.

Just keep an eye on your coolant, you'll need to top up after awhile due to evaporation.
*
ohhh so I guess I should wait and see. biggrin.gif When got enough fund to add on 2nd rad that time then need to flush ba. Btw those coolant once is removed from the system then can't be used already right? smile.gif
Also I read somewhere on Mayhem website state that the coolant is toxic hence not suitable to just flush into toilet or drain, how to dispose it then?

Yeah. When you add a 2nd rad, clean your loop.

If you want to reuse, can. But make sure it's clean and looks the same as day 1.

Locally I don't know any "safe" way to dispose of the coolant. Overseas they have their rules and stuff. Here, I'd just say dilute it with A LOT of water and just flush it in the drain/toilet. sweat.gif

SGT > Corsair SP in terms of performance vs noise. Aesthetics wise Corsair SP > SGT no doubt.

Price wise, they both are about the same. So it depends on you.

* I have used SP performance edition, quiet edition & also SGT. SGT pushes a lot of air at lower noise (although still a bit noisy for me), Corsair SP Performance edition pushes as much air as SGT but with the sound of a jet and Corsair SP quiet edition pushes decent amount of air at a very silent noise. Run it at 10v and its like not running at all, you cant hear it at all.
*
mind sharing if slow down the Corsair SP Performance edition will it be as quiet as the Quiet Edition? And if using those SP 120 in pull config aesthetics wise no difference ba? Using mine in pull so cannot see the sexy ring T_T

No it wont, even running at 7v it is still loud for me. Not as silent as the quiet editions.

ohh sad.gif Btw any other cheaper high static pressure fans for Rads ah? aside of SGT and SP120, they really kinda cost a lot lol.

Yeah, I have the helix. Let me know when you want them and I'll confirm the price for you. smile.gif

sure sure! smile.gif Oh ya wanna ask usually the temperature would be 3-4 degrees higher than room temperature right? As in when cold boot.
Eg Room Temperature around 23-24C
Rig CPU temperature 27-30C
Rig GPU temperature 30C

Something like that should be normal right? smile.gif

How did you get your temperature readings? Before Windows boot or after? Also, idle temperatures can actually match room temps. I got mine 1-2 degrees lower than my room temperature before. But that's idle temps.
Haven't held a Helix before, so I can't say for sure.

If GT can have the white coloured fans I'll go for it biggrin.gif Dono why I love the colour contrast of White and Black fans. :/ Personal preference I guess biggrin.gif
I was thinking of spraying the SP120 fans to white but I'd guess that'll spoil the performance ba doh.gif

Hi guys, its me again. doh.gif
Wanna ask if I want to drain my loop, where should I start as I'm using arcylic tubing as shown in the pic below.
Do note that the setup was assembled by APES but due to some reasons I decided to do it myself better, don't want to hassle send it over there and back.
Cuz I'm planning to sell it off the rig but seems price isn't attractive enough so I might wanna let go parts by parts.

What I have in mind is remove PSU first, put a bowl directly below the GPU area. Open the compression fittings and let it flow out.
Is it right that way?
Also aside of that, if I remove all the wc stuff and put it aside, can I re-use the arcylic tubing again? Say if I kept it air tight plastic bag.
