Kill coils and how many per Ltr
Just a little advise to people,
If running silver kill coils in a water cooling loops you should have at least 2 per Ltr you use (1 per 1/2 Ltr). Try to use them in different sections of the loop as well and not all in one place. E.g don't use two in just a res, have one in a res and one in a tube. If you are running a large system then you will need to equate this with the amount of kill coils you need.
Ive seen a few post's were people have about 1 ltr of water and only running 1 kill coil and they get nasties, this is because they don't have enough silver in there loop for the amount of water they run.
All so some thing to let you know is if you have say Ultra pure H20 , or distilled and silver kill coils you lose the none conductivity of the liquids and total dissolved solids (TDS). this is normal all so the PPM (parts per million) and TDS go's up..
I tested a kill coil in 1 ltr of liquid left for 6 months. The liquid at the time of starting was 0.01 TDS / 0Us , after 6 months it had gone to 0.80 TDS / 10.4 Us, this was tested against a standing bottle with nothing in which has moved from the same starting value to 0.05 TDS / 0.09Us. The reason why the bottle with noting in it except water went up is because of plastic leakage and this is normal.
We all so found a rather interesting fact water kept in black / blue bottles or canister leaked more plastic into the water then if using white / natural bottles. This lead me to throw away all my 25 ltr canisters and switch fully to natural / white canisters.

I prefer Mayhems to do it for me 
The OC seems ok, but I would try and bring down the volts. I could hit 4.49 with 2.7 I believe. However when I came back upstairs my pc had rebooted
So yeah, I would try and mess about with voltages etc. Try and lower them and see where you hit a brick wall then go to the safest

If you get this, would you be able to do some videos of the block with this coolant - mobile will be enough. Just would like to see how does this look like.
Have you done sleeving on your psu or these are only extensions?

Really nice system. Liking the black and white colour scheme.
Thank you guys for the feedback on my system I was a labour of love but I really enjoyed it
I am indeed ordering the Mayhems White coolant and once it's here then I will be only too glad to post something up for you to have a look at.
I have to admit that I will probably stay water cooled for future builds also now. It's whisper quiet and just looks the mutts nuts
If I can be of any assistance then please ask away... Though I must confess that Cleeecooo was instrumental in helping me with this build! BIG THANX & SHOUTS to Cleeecooo!!!
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
