p0tter Report post Posted June 13, 2005 I should have all my parts for the system this weekend, expect the water additive. I have some Reline water wetter hanging out in my garage (works well for cars :nod: ). I wouldnt mind UV dye, but looking for the best performance. Thanks !

eBoy0 Report post Posted June 14, 2005 I'd say HydrX(it's UV reactive) ummm water weter or w/e leaves residue in the cpu/gpu blocks, causing resistance. Yah, hyrdx would be your best bet, it's like 1.99$ a bottle, 1 bottle for every litter i think. Also, it kills like algae and stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eBoy0 Report post Posted June 14, 2005 Thanks, Ill order a bottle today. Might need more than a bottle. I know i did, i guess it all depends on your how long your loop is. BTW this thing is like a 20oz bottle, don't let the picture fool you in size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lowfat Report post Posted June 20, 2005 The best additive is none. However if you mix any types of metals (i.e. use copper as well as aluminum) then you'll want something to combat corrision like antifreeze. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kamel Report post Posted June 21, 2005 the best thing to do is water wetter and a bit of anti-freeze together. for water die, don't use any for about the first month to make finding deposits and build up easier, but if you are sure you're not getting any corrosion or anything, get you a flourescent highlighter at your local walmart and squeeze the ink into your res. this will cause everything in your system to be stained of course, but gives about the best results as far as changing the color of your water to what you want. you can chose to be less hard core than that, but all in all people will say that water wetter sucks. that's not true, it can decrease your temps by up to 5C -- what sucks is water wetter and water straight up, nothing else. if you add some anti-freeze, it will keep your system nice and happy and corrosion free.
