hey what's up guys Jays two-cent here we're going to kind of round out science week here the week I stayed home from CES with making our own custom coolants if you will custom colors and stuff to kind of show you guys how to do that you're not always going to find that exact color that you are after and after I showed you guys mixing the dye in the coolant for our the Primo Cho clear that I'm using inside of skunkworks you guys requested some more on this topic so today we're going to go ahead and continue the week of science water cooling parts for skunk works were provided by performance pcs for the largest online selection of PC modding and water cooling parts head to performance pcs calm as you guys can see here I've already mixed some colors I've got some green going on here and we'll mix this again to show you guys how I did it in my little test loop I figured before I tear this thing apart one keep that going but I'm going to go ahead and show you guys an alternative here to the pastel because pastel isn't the only fluid on the market that is opaque in fact Premo chill makes one they sent this to me a year ago actually it's been sitting on the shelf it's the exact same one that Paul's hardware used in his arctic panther I had two of these bottles I gave one to him and that's the white that he used in his loop I don't know if he changed it out but the initial white that was used was this and I think he might have changed it to the pastel I'm not entirely sure but this is the Primo qu yang sickle this one's actually a prototype the run date on this one was 130 2015 so this has been sitting on the shelf for a year but I figured to go ahead and try it so we can show you guys how to mix some custom opaque stuff as well as some custom clear stuff I'm starting to like the clear once again because it's kind of shiny but anyway let's go ahead and mix this bad boy and show you guys how we're going to do this today now first things first the products were using here as I already said this is the yang sickle from primo chill again this is a prototype you're going to want to check their website for whatever the latest product is they do still have this on their website and various different colors already mixed but it does show that they're all sold out so I don't know if maybe they just haven't I mean this is this was a prototype so I don't know they're still developing on this but for sake of today's video we're just using this as an example so you're definitely going to want to check and see exactly what their current product is in fact you can even see right here it even says for testing purposes only that's what it says right there keep out of reach of children definitely don't drink it guys this isn't milk don't mistake it for milk now we are using Mayhem's dyes here and like I said I I like their dye I've been using their dye for a long time I'll probably continue to use their dye but they sent me a lot of different colors here in fact this was one of their ways of saying sorry for you know the way that they were being you know dickholes on the internet so I've got more dyes here to play with so this is gonna be fun we've got a lot of different colors some UV reactive stuff some non reactive stuff now the one thing I do like about the Primo chill here is they're insanely concentrated liquid premix actually mixes into a gallon not just a leader but a gallon so you're going to add this to your use distilled water and you're going to add this and this is purified water but that's because this is just an empty container I'm using you're going to mix or add this to the bottle and then you're going to fill the bottle to the top and that's going to be basically your mix so we'll go ahead and do that now it also says to make sure you shake up the bottle real good because it could have had overtime of sitting on the shelf some stuff fall out to the bottom did you definitely know what make sure you shake that up and I've already done that as well but we did it again for good measure it looks just like milk it's what's so cool about this stuff we've already done that milk test you guys haven't seen that video make sure you go and look at it I did it on Monday of this week and now we are just going to slowly add our distilled water until we're at the top kind of sounds like we're peeing in a bottle here now we're going to give this a good shake for a while to make sure it is completely mixed up make sure that cap doesn't pop up because it's not a screw cap this is a pop cap and not like a pop cap bobble head either and there is our white but before we do this we're going to go ahead and drain this loop here and we are going to play around with some of the clears to show you guys you know how much diet takes to clear or to dye clear fluid versus the opaque stuff the opaque stuff takes a lot more dye so let's go ahead and drain this loop and let's start all over now if we're going to be using like distilled water you're still going to have to add some sort of a biocide I use PT nuke just in a slow and loop this size I would use one maybe two drops and a bigger loop three drops no more than that or will dye your tubes and stuff sort of an aqua color you definitely don't want that now one of the cool things that's about these dyes is just like art you can mix these so that you can get any custom color that you want so let's do this let's start with hmmm so let's going to start with the pink I think the pink will be kind of neat I don't know exactly what suspect I've never done a pink loop so one drop that's how much one drop will actually change the color of the loop as you can see that's a very light sort of a rosy color and as it mixes in it's going to kind of get darker it's going to take a little bit for it all to mix in and then you can just add more drops to increase the intensity of the color that's looking really good I should say UV colors well I think I should do a loop like this for a little Jay hmm there will become a point though we're adding more drops no longer darkens the color and the important thing to note about that is anything more that you add is just adding unnecessary dye to the fluid so let's do like three or four more drops here so as you can see we got sort of a hot pink there and that's actually kind of cool looking by itself now one thing you can also you know obviously do is this is a UV color so if we were to add UV light here so let's do this let me hook up a UV light here real quick so you can see that it's got a little bit of UV reaction here as we use the UV LEDs now UV LEDs are never going to give off as much UV light as say a cathode or a true blacklight so keep that in mind to the intensity here is going to be affected by the light source but that's kind of a neat color green is still ultimately like the best when it comes to showing off at night when it comes to UV colors so I'm going to do now is I'm just going to add a couple of drops of let's say I don't know blue let's see what happens I put some of this ocean blue dye in here now if you mix non UV dyes with UV dyes you remove some of the UV of the loop so as you can see we're sort of starting to get a custom purpley color here it's quite dark actually but also to keep in mind too if you start adding a lot of these dark colors to bright colors it's going to ultimately turn a pretty dark color but that's just two drops that was just two drops of the blue and you can see just how much it actually changed color inside of the loop but ultimately I want to see how well we're gonna do with this guy so let's flush this guy out again all right so we got the yangtze cool all in here and i think i want to mix me a nice green now I'm going to start with the the regular green here's just a UV green dye and we've also got the laser green I'm a huge fan of the laser green but I don't know how much dye it's gonna actually take to dye this and start with the laser green so we'll see how one drop does here actually was a bit of a squirt but whatever I squared it into it but as you can see it sort of absorbs it up and it doesn't change color all that much so you've got to use a lot of this to actually change its colour but as you can see once you start changing its color it looks really really good but you're probably going to end up using close to an entire bottle to get this thing to change the color that you want I don't think it's gonna get much darker than that though because that quite honestly is it's it's really bright on the camera here let me darken that up a little bit so you can kind of see what looks closer to what I'm seeing here so you can see it's not really getting any darker that's pretty much the colour of it and as you can see by the cap - it's a very bright colour on the cap now if we want to make this darker we can of course take a darker green and mix that in there so as you can see we're starting to get a bit of a sort of like an Nvidia green going on here so it changes the tone of it a little bit now I'm going to take this emerald green put a couple of drops of that in there this is going to darken it up just a tad so now we're starting to really get that sort of a sort of a ninja turtle news color going on here that's pretty cool there we'll let that mix in that's a pretty neat color right there actually I like that now you can't lighten it back up that's one thing you need to keep in mind is that you cannot lighten it back up if I put in more of the brighter green here you can see nothing's going to happen so once you go to dark there's no real going back from that unless you thin it out and by thinning out you would need to add more white back into the into the mix now I've actually got a system here where I could do that in fact let me go ahead and demonstrate that now where if I take and this was the purple that I drained right here let me widen this out this was the purple that I drained right here from the previous you know mix that we just did but if I take this to my drain loop here and just kind of you know put that in the cap right there and I've got it going under the desk if I just barely crack the valve here for draining it this will start to go down just a little bit and I can start adding back some white which will get me the brighter color so that I can kind of start over if I got a little bit too dark but in order for this to work you would have to have a way to be able to add back to the mix I'm doing right now as well as have a drain on the bottom there so now as you can see we've got a much brighter green that we had just a second ago now unfortunately we're going to reuse that purple anyway but look at the color it turned to now yeah it's kind of like a kale smoothie color but now you can see we're much brighter again and we can kind of start over on mixing in our color if we wanted if we wanted to go just maybe quite as dark as we did a moment ago now it is also a you this is also a UV dye a lot of what the ones that we use were UV so let's see how well it reacts since we did act add in some that are not UV reactive oh yeah look at that you can see here you're getting some pretty cool you get some pretty cool glow on that it's really hard to pick up on the camera but yeah it's it's glowing big-time and then that's what you would end up with is this nice glowing fluid here but it doesn't pick up very good on camera unfortunately now that method I showed you for thinning it out is also the same way I'm flushing out this loop here by using distilled water I'm barely cracking the valve just enough for the LeWitt the fluid level to start to drop slowly and then I just keep adding water to the reservoir it takes about two gallons for loop this size to completely turn back clear with this sickled stuff but if I just cracking the valve it's not all going out the valve as you can see it's getting thinner even as I'm talking to you some of its going through the loop and thinning out more with the distilled water and then oops I just build some of it it's going out of the valve down into my other catch container so as you can see this is how I've been actually flushing out these loops in between and this is a really good way to make sure you get you know all of the old color out once it turns completely clear then you're good to move on to the next test but you can see just how fast it's actually changing color here back to clear another important thing to keep in mind tune as you can see it's almost back to completely clear do not let the level go down so that the pump ends up going that's bad you don't want to damage your pump doing this but you can see this wasn't really all that hard and if you have access to the top of the reservoir you could use it by just using a funnel at the end of a tube stick the tube in the reservoir and then as long as your drain is at the very bottom of your loop then this is this is actually a really easy way to flush out your loop you guys have been asking how I do it this is how I do it all right let's do this then let's them let's mix up some custom color here shall we let's go for I don't know like a like a gunmetal color so I'm not sure exactly the I'm just going to play with this quite honestly I'm just going to mix it so it's putting some more emerald green this is a whole different color to green though than what I used earlier so it's going to look much much much different now I'm going to mix in some blood red your deep red dye they call it that's a weird color huh but you can see it starting to turn a little bit well that's really red huh um let's try some blue now so happens we put a little bit of blue dye in here give it a little bit of metal tone ah I think we're getting it it's gonna be kind of hard to see but we're gonna have to once that all mixes in yeah we're starting to get a little bit of a metally color but it's very blue at the moment so let's try mixing in a little bit more green stem we'll try a different shade of green let's try some of the brighter red color and see what happens that and I think I think we might have gotten it I know how well the cameras picking it up but this is like a gunmetal color here it's add a little bit of yellow to it just because see what happens hmm I want to put just a couple of drops of dark blue in here three drops do that that's an interesting color to be sure it's like a it's very grey and how well it picks up on camera that is definitely a gray color so you can even make the the tubes look very metallic if you wanted all right now I'm curious in trying to mix one more color I want to see if I can get a color that would match skunkworks as new orange seemed really good so I'm going to start with the brighter orange color here the same dye that I used in the what the Primo Cheil clear the pure clear we're just going to go ahead make ourselves a base Orange now I know pastel already has an orange the problem is that the orange that they have is way too way too light you guys know I have a bit of a burnt orange color going on inside of skunkworks see this is very similar to the orange color that they already have right here you can see I'm using a lot of orange here the problem with this is it's just too bright this is just way too bright so we put a little bit more orange in here and see if it goes any darker yeah see it's it's still just a little bit too bright for what skunkworks would need but we can darken that up a little bit by adding in some reds we mix this into the top some of it sits at the top with the way that this reservoir is that's really not a bad color right there but we need we need a little bit darker so I'm going to start with the brighter red here just put a couple of drops in that's not too bad and then I think I'm going to put just one or two drops of the deep red now I'm not even going to need the yellow I don't think one to put two drops of the deep red in there let that mix in maybe put a couple drops of yellow just to see what happens okay more than a couple drops I guess so this is such a bright diet expect a whole lot to happen I was curious still mixing in anyway so there you go there's a perfect example of how you can mix your own colors and not have to really rely on what's readily available this is like this color right here actually matches pretty well with the RAM and the sleeving so this is a color I would have actually considered putting into skunkworks without hesitation but because this is a prototype fluid you know I'm not going to do that and as you know the something in my loop is still causing the pastels to change color so I'm not going to bother trying I'm going to let this run inside this test loop for a bit though and just kind of see what happens to it well that's fun I've always wanted to mix up my own custom colors and stuff and I really wish that I could use this in skunk works because I do kind of I do really like the way that this looks but again with everything's going on in that loop I don't want to mess with that right now but maybe in the future if we can find some coolant that is going to play nicely with the copper mix of metals that's going on in my loop and not start changing colors on me especially due to the high heat of the GPU loop maybe we'll play around doing this in the future now guys I know I'm not the first one to ever do this and I know that there's more videos on YouTube showing people do this but I figured I'd have to show my audience because you guys know I love water cooling and it just was fun to do I've never actually sat here and played with this massive amount of dyes and seeing what colors we could come up with I mean it's the it's like any color in the color wheels possible so I just showed you a few today but if let's say you're a girl you want like a purple or a pink or whatever color if that's more your thing then you can do that if you want custom Reds or blues or yellows or greens any tint or shade of that color it's possible and as you can see I showed you how you can kind of recover if you mess up a little bit and start over without wasting too much fluid anyway guys thanks for watching today's video time to get on out of here and as always if you guys want see more scientific type videos like this Regis are playing around experimenting let me know what you guys want to see me do I think one of the highest recommended tests right now is different materials for Tim like peanut butter or Nutella and stuff like that that sounds awfully messy and I don't know the ramifications of that getting down into the sock it could be but I don't know maybe we'll do it if we get enough requests maybe we'll do it maybe I'll take a chance at ruining some hardware for the sake of science alright guys time to get out of here thanks for watching we'll see you in the next video and I've got multi-coloured fingers now
