CoolMaster Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 are they overall pretty safe though? or if I dont like risk? should I avoid them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigen Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 i dont really see a risk, just test the system out of your case by itself to decifer leaks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanksta Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 made a self built setup with home made res before no, risk, just check for leaks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravy Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 are they overall pretty safe though?or if I dont like risk? should I avoid them? 460671[/snapback] they do take a good bit of time to set up and get going initially, and there is a good deal of maintenance compared to air, always need to check things once a month or so for potential leaks, use distilled water, not tap water, distilled water is supposed to be non-conductive in pure form, don't use antifreeze, it tends to clog things up, and wont make it run any cooler, just add 10% Redline Water Wetter and a few drops of some sort of aquarium anti-growth stuff to keep the slimy stuff out, oh, and add these things after it is pretty much full of water, i messed up the first time and put the water wetter in first and then the water and it took hours to bleed the foam and bubbles.....

CoolMaster Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 but overall it's pretty safe right? and is it super super hard to set up? or not really? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 I just setup my water this weekend, and it was pretty gay to setup (mainly because i placed things in bad spots and I had bad tubing). I'm using 85% distilled, 15% antifreeze + about 4 ounces of alcohol for algae. The water flows through the tubes effortlessly enough that I can constantly hear the water swishing around in my 5.5in bay res. It is pretty safe when you get it running. the only thing that I dont like is draining, but it can be done without spilling or leaking. One thing i do recommend is to take the time to use hose clamps, it made me so much more confident of my wc. I've ran it non-stop since saturday night, andi've had no glitches.
