i'll be draining my w/c set up when i get my new conroe system,and was just wondering which w/cing fluid/solution to buy when gettin it back up and running?

Currently using the stuff that came with my swiftech kit,but dont really have a clue what to buy,or stuff thats recomended.

Been having a quick look round the net and found these sort of fluids

Alphacool Water Additive Tec-Protect-Ultra 1 WaterWetter or

Alphacool Water additive Tec-Protect-UV blue 1L (Ready for use)

would these be of any use? or is there anythin else out there?

cheers in advance

De-ionised water and Zerex

Deionised or distilled water (same thing) and Zerex, Swiftech HydrX, or water wetter.

from what ive read on the net water wetter can be pretty harmful to your loop so id try n avoid it personally

As far as I'm aware Water Wetter has a nasty smell and also leaves stains on your tubing/blocks (more so compared to other additives).

While it is debatable wether a man should wear pink, pink in your PC due to water wetter is definately wrong.

Should be safe from the smell now, as the manufacturers Redline have stopped supplying Water Wetter to watercooling stockists a few months ago as they have not tested it in the PC watercooling environment.
