Water cooling coolant

[kol272]

So i have a question about coolant. I'm planing on building a computer with blue and red LED fans and violet coolant. The only problem is I cant find that color. So my question is can i mix red and blue coolant so i can get violet or is that not recommended and if that is bad then can you link me a store that sells that color coolant?

It isn't generally recommended to use a colored coolant since it can cause blockage over time due to buildup of particles.

A better option would be to buy violet tubing for your setup. It wont make a difference.

I have no knowledge on the mixing of colors being harmful or not though.

I generally don't recommend coolants, either. If anything use colored tubing as mentioned, or if you HAVE to have colored water, use dyes and a growth inhibitor.

Also, DO NOT use pastel fluids. They start losing colour and thickening up. If you really want coloured coolants, just use distilled water and some dyes.
