philbrown23 Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Well I've been seing water cooling coolant all over the place and am wondering if there is a big difference between just plain water and coolant? If so how BIG of a difference? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClayMeow Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 you can't use just plain water, you need a mix. Typically you do something like 70% pure water (aka. not from tap) and 30% coolant (like antifreeze). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so how BIG of a difference? You need some type of corrosion preventative and a biocide and the rest distilled water. I personally use Pentosin G11 Coolant Additive and "PT_Nuke" Concentrated Biocide. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I bought like th thermaltake liquid coolant or some other liquid coolant would I still have to add anything or are those ready right out of the bottle?

Don't buy coolant, it's pointless. Distilled water + zerex and I haven't touched it in a year now. Before that, it was a year before I cleaned it last.
