ok lets end this argument here

[mrt88]

theres a lot of talk about what everyone use's in there water loops, so lets here it- what do you use and why
let the bitching commence

 

[Pneumonic]

thats nearly as bad as asking 4 or 2 cores....

 

[Cob]

DI water, Zerex and a few drops of anti-algae.


Meh.

 

[psychas]

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...e=Feser One UV Reactive Coolant 1 Litre (Blue)

is me bad

 

[Monkey Puzzle]

Battery water, ~ 1/10th ethylene glycol (have an Al-top apogee GTX) and purple UV dye.

 

[Ace Modder]

Wee-Wee, make a nice yellow colour, plus the smell stops anyone else wanting to use my system

 

[***F1ZZY***]

Don't mix metals. (no aluminium parts)
Use coloured tubes if you want bling.
Use DI or distilled water only plus a few drops of anti-algae (can get from aquarium shop)
Put nothing else in it.

haha best one yet

forgot to say im on Feser One red (he holds his head in shame) lol

I'm on Qualitex Ice Water - Proper medical grade distilled water (deionized, micropore filtered then reflux distilled) with an anti-algal agent, and guaranteed non-conductive for PC use.

 

[zero-one]

Where do you get that from WJA96? (assuming it's not a competitor of course!)

 

[pastymuncher]

De-ionised water from Halfords with Zerex. Cheap and cheerful but it works great.

Mixed metals too and no problems at all!! Been going for 2.5 years now.

 

[w3bbo]

Distilled or Di-ionised, 2 drops of Iodine/PT_Nuke/Biocide.

 

[WJA96]

It's very much a competitor unfortunately, but not a UK based one at the moment.

 

[surge]

Ultrapure water (from Millipore system, resistivity > 16 megohm cm) + a very small amount of red G12 corrosion inhibitor

 

[Greebo]

Feser UV Purple - I know I could do it cheaper but a litre cost me £8 and it works, it looks nice, it glows in the dark

 

[Cupra]

feser1 im lazy

 

[Jokester]

Feser 1 cause of mixed metals.

 

[ZedPowered]

Feser One Black

 

[booyaka]

going to be using some De-ionised water from Halfords and will get some pt nuke

The only issue with PT Nuke is that it's copper sulphate and it massively increases the conductivity of the cooling fluid. A non-metallic anti-microbial like iodine or a phenol is a much better bet.
