How much Water Wetter?

Xplo · 22 May 2006 at 14:30

About to get my WC up and running. I have a 92.1 w/ Waterchill block and a MCP650. Only have one block on the loop. Ive got a 25ml bottle of Water Wetter but was wondering how much of it i should put in? Is there a ratio of Water Wetter : Distilled water I should try and follow?

Water wetter reduces the effects of surface tension and cohesion of the water (making the water wetter... geddit?

). reduced cohesion = better contact with waterblock = better cooling

I'm not sure if there's such a thing as too much Waterwetter I'd do what the instructions say, usually it's somthing like 25ml added to a litre or 500ml or somthing. It's certianly possible to have too little... (no real adverse afects though)

There should be instructions on the bottle/syringe it came with.

I got a 10ml syringe which is something like 1 part water wetter to 32 parts water.

Edit: But typically too much won't make too much difference, I don't think?

I sure hope not.. i've got about 1 part in 10 too much in my system... but it's running cooler than when it was just water... admitedly we're talking single degrees at load, but every little helps

btw... nice sig jidh007
