hmmmm ill look into it. but its really hard for me to get things shipped here at this time...
Hi,
Yeah fluid or premixed is usually expensive to ship anywhere really
Auto parts stores are usually all over the place though
I've read also people using anti freeze too but soft tubing wise that can be unforgiving if it melts the tubing
The water wetter is only a few cap fulls per quart or gallon jp= Jpmboy didn't respond back with a mixture he uses.
So I took the entire loop apart, took the CPU and GPU and pump apart. The CPU block was a little gunked up. Cleaned that out, and tested flow rate. Seems to be ok. I flushed the system when I had it apart with regular water, put it all back together, flushed it with distilled water, then filled. No leaks. Did not put anything in the water. Just pure distilled water. Temps seemed to have dropped a bit. I have to see what's up in my bios, but running 5 mins of realbench stress got a Max of 72c on 2 cores. Before, all cores we're hitting 75-80c. Next time I take this loop apart, probably to put a 90° angle fitting in it, I'll lap the block. Temps are also about 5°F warmer in my room now too.
Hi,
Yeah must of had something in the radiators... unless you added something to the d water before ?
EK rads are pretty filthy that I remember.
I only use distilled water. Nothing with any additives. You can put a silver coil in your rezzy if you have any concerns.
Yeah idk, maybe I did. But it's clean now. Water is clear and I don't see anything floating around.
What does a silver coil do?
Prevents any microbial or organic growth in water loop. Cheap and easy

Hi,
EK didn't send a silver coil with the all aluminum water kit ?
Maybe it's not recommended to use one ?
