So I ordered a nice custom water cooling kit, but I have 2 questions.

1. Can I mix a biocode (a bottle of deadwater) and a killcoil together?
2. Is it ok to have a pre mixed coolant with no dyes, and would that make it cooler?

Thanks!

1. Yes. You only need a few drops.

2. This is what you do, distilled water, kill coil/biocide, and colored tubing.

Yes, biocides and silver mix, just be sparing with the deadwater, only use the amount they tell you to
No, any premix will be less capable of heat transfer than plain distilled water

Would it be bad if I took a drank out of the water before I installed it? I'm serious, would my spit me a bad coolant? I wanted to taste distilled water, but I don't want to have to go buy another thing of it.

Pour a little into a glass then, it won't hurt you but there are microbes in your saliva which will be bad for the loop,
anything living in the loop is bad

Distilled water sounds good .

Its just water with all the minerals etc distilled out of them, you knew that though right?

Yeah, but still I hate the taste of water with minerals. I never tasted it though, this is the only "coolant" i can drink .

Then it might not be distilled . You never know what they do to it .

Well, if we're ever in a survival situation with our PC's we can always drink the distilled water!

On biocide and silver is there a brand of choice.
I have seen a stop fitting with a siver bullet that looks cool.

Until you find out someone put biocide in it....

That's why we use silver kill coils!

Too many people use Feser One, it does not seem that bad but enough and now people use it that water cooling systems will not be a reliable source of water!

I just put some of the distilled water in tea and it made the tea taste epic .

the way this thread is developing, w/ survival skills being questioned...I wonder what life would be like when the river beds dry up and all you have is stone...

Then it will be time to drain your loop . Any water cooled PCs would be worth so much.

Water from a loop tastes horrible I can tell you that.

Tried to drain my loop through the res, had the ingenious idea of putting a bit of tubing through the fill port and sucking to create pressure and for it to drain that way. Didnt work and with the tubing and the various metals seeping into the water, didn't taste that good.

My modem is dead so I'm restricted to the mobile but this thread got funny lol,

[Lutfij]

*back on topic, yeah it doesn't get better than distilled in all aspects of a loop.
