    What tubing / coolant do you use for your loop?

    I used to use colored tubing and liquid, but since I opened up my block and saw the staining/plastic, I just use clear tubing / distilled water.

    Anyone use anything different? What's been your experience with it?

    I would only recommend distilled clear water liquid with colored tubing and anti kink-coils on top of them for better eye-candy. This way you don't have to worry about dye or stains. Also, a bit off topic, it's not a good idea to get a cheap water pump (learned that the hard way) and always buy it separately.

    I used EKWB hard tubing and their clear coolant.
    Never again creating a custom hardline PC. It takes too long to assemble (took me 10 days) and then you have to completely drain it if you want to upgrade. Now I just go AIO and honestly new NZXT Kraken AIO look amazing.

    It looks nice but it lacks the 3d mode Kraken has like at 00:58 in this video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xfAE748oa7I

    But it lags cool fans out of the box. If you want RGB fans, you have to buy them extra

    I can see how it would matter to some, but to me it doesn't. I bought extra fans.
