Help with liquid coolant

[Umair Shariff]

Heyy guys, I got all of my components and they are working awesome. But now, i want to install watercooling and make it a lot better (read OC)

The question I have is, will I have issues if I use a UV reactive liquid with UV lights all the time?? (The tubes i intend to use are clear Primochills)

I read somewhere that the UV lights damage the tubing, my analyticial side tells me its not true, but my emotional side tells me to confirm it. Please let me know as soon as you can

Uv light will degrade plastics overtime. I don't know how much, is a computer scenario, but in the climbing I do we never leave ropes in the sun or fixed off we don't have to.
It will have no effect on the liquid at all.

It's likely to never effect your tubing, but I would check it after a few months

Ok, thanks for the replies. Just out of curiosity, what pathways would you suggest I take, if I am to achieve blue coolants??

Coloured dyes are not really an option for me, i dont want to clean out all of that gunk from my system, i want to know something different

I would just use blue tubing and distilled water. Custom colored fluids are expensive, and are just dyed water, and will eventually stain parts in a loop
