Is there any good red dye for water cooling?

[lancer420]

This is a question i asked several months ago but i never really got an answer so i decided to ask it again. The title says it all, I'm looking for good red dye for water cooling. I'd like a bright and vibrant red, not a darker red. Thanks!

well, you can use mayhems or primochill dyes.
Though red one is problematic in general. You should frequently change it to avoid break down of the coolant and clogging of the microfins.
Kinda nasty to clean and to do so you need to take the blocks apart.

Why do I have to take the blocks apart? Wouldn't flushing it out a few times be sufficient?

taking apart required only if you have a clogging.
which is pretty common with red dyes.

How do I take it apart then? And how often should I change the fluid to prevent clogging?

how, really depends on the blocks you have.
how often, hard to tell, but definitely more frequently than once a year.
