!!! WARNING !!!
DO NOT USE WITH ALUMINUM COOLING LOOP PARTS
!!! WARNING !!!
They have already shipped the first few waves of pre-orders. The next wave is expected to ship on January 15th 2018. Four colors still aren't available at all, and as of January 10th there is no ETA on those.
NOTE: VUE is a show coolant. PrimoChill recommends it not be run more than eight consecutive hours. If you run your system 24/7, avoid using VUE. This coolant requires lots of rest (they recommend overnight) for best results.
STEPS FOR BEST RESULTS (NEW LOOP WITH NO PREVIOUS COOLANT):
1. Run PrimoChill SysPrep treatment using recommended methods.
2. Fill loop with PrimoChill VUE coolant.
3. Enjoy your VUE Coolant Experience™.
STEPS FOR BEST RESULTS (EXISTING LOOP):
1. Drain previous coolant.
2. Make sure each component is thoroughly hand washed and dried.
3. Run PrimoChill System Reboot treatment using recommended methods. Follow steps on System Reboot Instructions tab closely. Method 2 is preferred, as it gives a higher concentration of System Reboot for better cleaning.
4. Fill loop with PrimoChill VUE coolant.
5. Enjoy your VUE Coolant Experience™.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE ABOVE STEPS CAN RESULT IN UNDESIRED VUE PERFORMANCE.
Post your experiences and questions/comments in this thread! Pics and video encouraged! We love loop-filling porn here ... especially the slow-motion kind!
My next build will be in February, and I'll be using VUE in that. I plan on really testing out the longevity, keeping it in for as long as possible -- hopefully a year (at which point I'll likely build a new system).
I would think that as long as you have enough radiator space to handle the heat from your components, then the coolant wouldn't get warm enough to cause color change. That may be a wrong assumption though, as I don't know what VUE's safe operating temps are -- it's not in the info available on the site.
Is this in a new loop or a loop with previous coolant in it? The site says VUE has a high attraction to dyes and will leach them out of loop components, and they highly recommend using their System Reboot on loops that had dyed coolant in them.

They're still working that out, I think it will hit amazon first over there. Other resellers seem to be waiting to see how well it does before they stock it.
Vue pre-orders came out literally 1 week after I finished filling my new hard loop with Red Pastel haha
So I'll be looking forward to vicariously living through all you guys, and will use this time for ya'll to post all your results and tests over time.
At this point in time, since I do some cryptomining with my main rig during off-hours, it's on pretty much 24/7 and under load 10+ hours a day so I suppose Vue isn't the best option for me until cryptomining slows down a bit more. Still excited to wait a few months and see how it all works out with you guys, I'll definitely be a buyer in the future!
Edit: Anyone have thoughts on whether the system reboot and/or sysprep would still be a good system cleaner before using other fluids (such as Mayhems fluid). Blitz is a bit hard to find, and I like the thought of 2 separate $6 cleaners instead of a $50 blitz kit that I can barely find in stock.
I've ordered some Vue as of last week. Primochill do send to Australia. It's expensive to ship, but I'm doing a flush and 6700k -> 7700k upgrade around the start of December
Ended up going for the Teal, so hopefully it turns out nice.
Probably going to get my Vue delivered today.
Sucks I have to pay €45 customs taxes. Luckily I split the order with a mate. It's turning into damn expensive coolant after the tax.
