I was in the same position. I'm in Japan and ordered mine direct from Primochill. I have a 360 and a 240 rad, and one bottle (almost exactly) was enough. You're of course using larger rads though.

I just bit the bullet and paid the insane shipping costs.

Feel free to set up a new post and talk about your planned loop! Love to see what you have in mind, and add feedback if you're open to it!

I know you aren't asking this question, but I just need to warn you and make sure you know what you are getting into. I currently have it in my system and love it, but you're taking a risk.

First question, are you putting it in NEW loop parts? Or are you switching coolants in an existing system? If it's new parts, you're at less of a risk.

Be sure to use the reboot cleanser if it is an existing loop. I did, and so far so good. No issues.

There are a TON of videos out there of issues with this coolant. From it simply falling apart, to it creating build up in loops.

I choose to use it anyways, knowing the risks. I love how it looks. I plan on draining and refilling the loop every 4 months to be on the safe side. So if you haven't designed your loop yet, be sure to include a really good drain port.

I've done plenty of research into it and know the risks. Pretty much all the big issues I've seen are due to people not being cautious enough with it. It's not going to screw up if there's nothing wrong to screw it up.

I'm doing a brand new PETG hard tubing loop (my first custom water cooling loop) and I'll use the SysPrep for at least 12 hours as recommended. The parts I have so far are an EK PE 480 radiator and a Phobya 450 reservoir.

I don't know if I'll actually be able to get my hands on some Vue though. I feel like it'd possibly take around 3 bottles or more to fill my loop, and with import costs, then refilling every 4-6 months or so, it could end up costing the same amount as an entry level PC every year, just for some pretty coolant...

So I'm hoping someone knows where to get some closer to the actual price, in the UK.
