Is it any good?

[Patriote]

Yeah i already seen it. On Performance PCs lol

And no it's not good. It's more for the "bling bling" factor than performance.

[GeoffP]

OK.

Just surfing, found it, looked interesting. Oh well.

Although I have not used that product specifically, after my nightmare experience with Fluid XP+ (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=109392), I'm now a fan-boy of de-ionized water. :lol:

[GeoffP]

Haven't heard of de-ionized water. Is it a purer form of distilled water?

some countries refer to it as that, distilled water. get distilled with a 9/1 mix of Pentosin, you'll be good to go. you won't run into some of the problems you can with Fluid XP, but PC Ice still isn't worth it.

PC Ice is to thick, cuts down on flow rate thus performance in my experience.

Deionized and distilled water are NOT the same. Deionized water is the best to use and distilled next.;)

right, only problem is, It become reionized after about 2 days in your loop from what I've read on the subject.

that's why I go with distilled,

Same here!

But PC-ICE revealed itself to be better than Fluid-XP. It would not clog my Storm, stain my tubing, leave depots of whatever it did with Fluid-XP but still it wouldn't be as good as distilled water. So now it's Distilled water and some additives.

If you do want de-ionied anyway, look at your local grocery store. The label will say something like: "Prepared by de-ionization" It was right next to the distilled water jugs and about the same price.

[lowboy]

I use distilled also easier to find. Agree that over time deionized will pick up ion's from metal in loop but IMHO 2days is a little quick to pick up enough for harm. But as you see many many opinions here on forum.:)

[GeoffP]

Yep, understand.

I can get distilled water out of my local shopping centre.

What about additives, can you guys recommend any.

I believe you can get additives that help the water circuit and protect the gear a bit AND then you can get coloured additives as well that just "pimp" up the loop a bit.

A lot of people use Pentosin, as it gives with loop a nice blue color and is pretty much everything you'd need to add to distilled.

[GeoffP]

Yep, Pentosin G11 additive seems the go. Will add it to my "still to order" list. thanks..
