They look amazing in the video dude!
At the moment ive got a crappy Thermaltake ceramic bearing, 400 L/Hour water pump, and
9.5mm ID(3/8") tubing, do you think the pump would be up for the job? Also would a larger tube size be beneficial for the visual effect?

why do these fail ?

X20 750 Pump & Reservoir combo FAIL
Single Slot Pump & Reservoir combo FAIL

The pearl get's stuck in the parts of the res where dead water is. All so the pumps do not have a good over head pressure. Last but not least on the larger res there are air holes in the pump that suck in the pearl and then don't release it so the pearl ends up gathering in the pump and staying there.

It can easily be washed out afterwards how ever because this does happen it fails our tests. We do not advise new users to water cooling use these liquids. We do advise that you first learn your own system before hand and how water cooling works before using them.

in the video above in the blue liquid section im only using a 400 Ltr hour pump with ceramic bearing. as long as the pump is not submersed in a res i do not see a problem. (just checked the specs of the pump it will be fine)

I demand orange!! may try some of the gold when it comes out

the coolant looks awesome in the vid you've confirmed both my blocks will work with it

Patience is a virtue.

Mayhem’s Aurora

Recommended Equipment

3/8” Tubing clear or above
Tube or Drive bay reservoir
GPU water block
CPU none restrictive water block
Any pump above 399 Ltrs Per Hour
Change out liquids every 6 months

*** Do not use Reservoir with pre inbuilt pump. ***

Mayhem’s Aurora +

Recommended Equipment


½” Tubing clear
Tube or Drive bay reservoir
GPU water block
CPU water block
Any pump above 399 Ltrs Per Hour
Change out liquids every 6 months

*** Do not use Reservoir with pre inbuilt pump. ***

All though every effort has been made to test Mayhem’s Aurora rang of fluids we cannot guarantee that the liquid will work in every system. We have tested a wide range of equipment and found that 95% of it works perfectly well with no adverse effects. However we cannot cater for every single setup out there. Aurora and Aurora + is for users who have a clear understanding of water cooling a pc and its iatrical components.

The difference between using normal plain water and Aurora and Aurora + is about 2c to 3c+ increase in temperature. This is very much dependant on your how your own system is set up.

We have found that Mayhem’s Aurora and Mayhem’s Aurora + has had no adverse effect on plated water blocks however normal wear and tear is still taken into account when using our fluids. If a water block has any damage to it on the plating our fluids may escalate this problem however we have not seen this in our testing.

Mayhem’s Aurora and Mayhem’s Aurora + contain no glycols and are based on environmentally friendly vegetable extract. Our testing range has been from 10c to 85c. We do not recommend using Mayhems Aurora or Mayhem’s Aurora + on systems were the temperature of the liquids may go over 90c.

Mayhem’s Aurora and Aurora + Contain patent pending technology.
Mayhem’s Aurora and Aurora + Do not contain any metal.
Mayhem’s Aurora and Aurora + Do not need biocide’s or Inhibitors.

Mayhems offer no guarantee with our liquids and are used at your own risk.

Mayhem's are now taking pre-orders for Mayhem's Aurora and Mayhem's Aurora + from re-sellers only.

ETA for Mayhems is Nov 2011.

I love the concept but I'm a tad wary of filling my loop with it. I'll wait until its been on general release for a good while and for some real-world users to feed back before I try it.

we only do real world tests, and we use real world testers.

But i fully understand your concern

This stuff looks incredible, will probably try it out when I get my second loop up and running. I saw you don't recommend resovoirs with pre built pumps, would this apply to something like the RP-402X2 - Koolance bay resovoirs as well? Considering how the pumps are mounted into the res.

Great job Mick!

Great job Mick!

No that should be fine as the Pumps are not submerged into the reservoirs they are just part of the reservoir. I did try and get Koolance to send me one for testing but they couldn't do that.

Its not easy to under stand some times i know. But any reservoirs were the pump is actually fully submersed is not a good idea. the reason for this is the Pearl gets sucked into the vents of the pump and doesn't get pulled back out. What you will see for the first day or so is some excellent effects but then quickly the pearl literally disappears. When you then flush each part of the system you see the pearl coming out of the side of the pumps inside the reservoir.

So under test these pumps are all fine ->

To confirm we have had testers confirm our findings with Mayhem's Aurora and we happy to say that at normal running temps Aurora and Aurora + is +2c / +3C above water.

There has been no visible signs of clogging and no visible signs of brake downs.

Aurora as of Monday 12/09/2011 has now moved into production stage.

Thank you goes out to

Gilgamesh and VileLasagna and the two other testers (whom are under NDA, you know who you are )
