Introduction and Technical Specifications
Promochill’s Vue coolant is one of the most innovative products offered by them so far with the promise of a unique visual experience sure to enhance any water cooling build…
Introduction
The newly released Vue Coolant is the latest coolant product from Primochill, offering one of their most unique products to date. Their Vue Coolant shows as a solid color at rest and fractalizes when in motion, creating a random visualization with your water loop under power. The coolant is water based and tested by Primochill as safe for any same metal copper based loops, as well as safe to use with acrylic components. Currently, Primochill offers Vue coolant in a large variety of colors all with an MRSP of $24.95 for a 1 quart container.

One of the coolest properties of Primochill's Vue coolant is its fractalization properties when in motion. The fluid shown is at rest on the left and in motion on the right. Notice how random patterns emerge in the right bottle, forming unique visuals. The visualizations are caused by particles in suspension in the coolant itself.

Primochill currently offers their Vue coolant in the 18 colors shown, ranging from dark red (Crimson) to Yellow with even more colors promised in the future. They have ensured that the Vue coolant will fit in almost any system build imaginable with their broad color palette.

To best prep an existing system and cooling loop for use with their Vue coolant, Primochill developed System Reboot. You simply add the bottle's contents to a gallon of distilled water and run it through your loop for up to 24hrs. It was designed to remove any residue or staining from your system components, leaving them like new. Primochill designed this cleaning agent specifically for Vue system preparation because of the Vue coolant's fragile nature when exposed to other coolant compounds.

“However, do not let that
“However, do not let that dissuade you from trying this coolant out”
Actually, please do.
It’s a boutique coolant, that you can only use for a limited amount of time before it eventually will gunk up your loop. It has has unbearable prepping and it WILL gunk up after 6+ months anyway, even if you force yourself not to use the system for more than 8 hours straight.
It’s only good for taking pictures for the internet, nobody in their right mind should use it for a PC that’s going to stay put for months.
For a simple and problem free
For a simple and problem free loop I say go with distilled water, but this fluid hasn’t been on the market for six months. How do you know what will happen? Are there posts of people with this stuff breaking down and causing problems in their loops?

I'm using it in my main rig currently, (started in January) and plan to do a followup on my experiences after the 6 month mark. Its still good after a month and a half…
A person would have to be
A person would have to be crazy to gunk up their expensive all-copper loop with this sludge, unless they are in it for looks only, not cooling performance or high overclocks. Should PCPer even review stuff like this? Only as a warning, to avoid this toxic waste…
Actually its quite the
Actually its quite the opposite from reports I so far read or watched. Fluid seems to be quite abrasive and gunking may be least of the worries (at least short term). Problems may arise with plating of the blocks. If it is not top notch this thing can ‘clean’ the surface in no time.
I was ready to try it – I stress TRY. But if manufacturer itself warns about prolonged use then its not good enough for me. It seems only slightly more useful than garbage like Mayhems Aurora ‘goo’ thingy which was good for a day or two. Moved away from any opaque fluids anyway. To say its potential minefield is understatement of galactic proportions.

unless you feel like being a tester i would avoid this stuff for now.
