Best Cooling Fluid for a Loop

alan whitaker · 12 Dec 2010 at 11:33

Hi All
Need to fill my system with fluid, I was thinking of one of the none-conductive ones.
Which is the best one to go for.

Di ionised water. They all become conductive anyway.

+1. Do not waste money on anything other than de-ionized water. Add a silver kill coil and you're good to go.

Hi
Thats 2 against anybody for the none conductive fluids

distilled or deionised water

with pt nuke or silver coil

distilled water + silver kill coil

Hi All.
Well its not looking good for the conductive fluids, anybody with a + for them?

+1 for distilled/de-ionised water + kill coils

Liquid mercury... ...lol nah

Distilled water will do the trick

I am using Aquacomputer Ultra Pure Water and so far i can see any faults.I went for red colour.Its very very red look good.

Pure water isn't electronically conductive is it? I always thought it was impurities in the water which gave it it's electronically conductive properties...

You are correct

I'm running Feser Aqua pure bi-distilled water with silver kill coil and corrosion blocker. Works a treat.

jaffveyda · 13 Dec 2010 at 17:26

I've had that before and it worked great as well.

Using Thermochill ECO6 Clear, its still as good as the day l filled the loop up, just over 4 months ago. I would have used or distilled/de-ionised water + kill coil, but the ECO6 was bought for me, will change to distilled/de-ionised water after a year is up.

Distilled water, I was under the impression that de-ionized water is corrosive and may still have bacteria in it.

You shouldn't need to worry about conductivity if you're careful and check everything.

Deionised water + 10% antifreeze acts as a good corrosion inhibitor and keeps the biological nasties away.

Don't use antifreeze. Not in a modern day watercooling loop
