Watercooling fluid

Addicted · 15 Oct 2010 at 17:37

Hey,
I've just been reading up on fluids after getting some Fluid XP+ Extreme Dr Jekyl/Mr Hyde Transformation Formula, and saw that people always say never to use Feser1 because it will seperate and gunk up the blocks etc! I'm kinda worried now as this is my first Wcooling build, but just wondered if anyone had the same experience with this stuff and if they recommend i should change it? I'd rather not obviously change it after spending £26 on it, but if it will eventually screw up the system then i'd rather change it now than later on once the damage is done

Thanks,
Matt

Feser stuff does gunk up your water block.
Distilled water + killcoil
/thread

But if you really want colours buy dye.

Unicorns tears with a strip of unobtainium! Seriously though most would recommend distilled and a silver coil with coloured tubing over pre mixed "coolants" or dyes as these have a nasty tendancy to stain and/or gunk up components in your loop.

As above, distilled water and kill coil. I also got some PT nuke.

ahh, i may have to convert over then!
i've got a few more articles to check out before i switch over, to make sure that it's worth it (as i'd literally be throwing £26 down the drain!), but will be checking for these problems noted with the feser and if they exist, removing asap so i don't stain it etc!
