Questions about Liquid Cooling Systems and Bolt

Wow... Ok first off this reminds me of the old message boards back in the day. Anyways, I have a few questions for the users of liquid cooled systems from DS. I just bought a rig that I'll post below. My questions are:

What coolant do they use in the systems? (I ordered the red.)

The loop looks really easy to disconnect with the quick disconnect they install? Should I put anything on the rest of the rig when I change it once a year?

Has anyone had problems with upgrading the graphics card in the Bolt models? It seems like you would have to pick and choose very carefully when you get a new card in the future.

I CAN'T WAIT!!! I'M SO HYPE!!! My little bro is going to order one in a few months too. Right now our current builds are so old they can barely run Hearthstone at a stable framerate.

Thanks for your time and consideration,

MDK
