Need water cooling help!

Hey guys!

Just need some urgent help.

My computer just shut down randomly before and wouldn't power back on.

I took off the side to find that my tubes were empty! I dont have any distilled water or de-ionized at home.

Do you think britta filtered water which has been boiled will be okay for a temporary solution?
Thanks

It'll be OK for a while, but really you shouldn't.

Awesome, I'll only put "just enough" in, shouldnt be in there for more than a 12 hrs any way

Should be fine for a while TBH. The worst part is if you have hard or very alkaline water, but the filter should take most of the impurities out if its new.

You might want to investigate why the tubes were suddenly empty first.

Unplug all components except pump and leak test for a while.

Yeah, you've got a leak, first thing to do is find where that water is going.
