I need lots of info about this, mostly, how dangerous is it for your system. Does it often leak? Is there a way to keep it from leaking, or to keep it from short out the Mobo?
I need a more powerfull cooling unit, and I've been leaning towards watercooling for a long time...just haven't been brave enough to take the step. Also, what are good brands? Thanks! -------------------- ![]() -----------------------Live The Day At Hand----------------------- |

37% Ethelyene Glycol is used as a standard coolant mixture in car coolant systems. This proportion will increase the boil-temp to 105°C. If you buy pre-mix the water in it is aready (in australia) distilled for you. I belive Ethelyene Glycol is also an anti-corrosive, but don't quote me on that.
Also the notion of ever getting pure water is a bit of a misnomer. This is because water self-ionises forming H20 --> H+ & OH- in solution. I can't remember the dilution rate, but basically water will be conductive because even if you purify it and deionise it, it's just going to reionise spontaneously. Really the immoral of the story is make sure you get a good waterblock and very good seals. Then put screw-ring seals over the seals just to make sure. and have fun! -------------------- |
