Coolest Liquid to put in a Watercooling System?

[hookid]

What is the coolest liquid you can put it a water cooling system?

[nikhsub1]

Distilled water, period.

better than antifreeze?

[ReD.SkY]

now do you mean coolest as in temperature? or as in the level of popularity?

[Overconfidence]

better than antifreeze?
Yes.

You have a lot of reading to do. This has been covered maybe 1000000000000000000000000000 times before. Nothing is better than water, save mercury or some NASA stuff.

3M has somethign that it better than water but its 200 dollars per liter.

do u know what it is by any chance?

i heard its good to mix antifreeze and ditilled water

10% anti
90% distilled

In an all copper watercooling system, 100% distilled is better.

i will be using the water heatsink thing made by evercool (silver knight), i decided to give it a try:stick:

nanoparticle suspension of copper in water... maybe. But that raises the issue of the copper settling out of suspension.

for budgets less than NASAs: water
for budgets greater than NASAs: whatever NASA uses.

lol basicly a trillion dollar budget...

Then, I'd say screw the water, buy phase ;)

[Kayin]

They normally stick to perflouroctane, hydrofluoroether, or in rare circumstances Midel 7030. None are cheap new, but reclaimed flourinert has been available for as low as 15 dollars a liter.

None are "better" than water at cooling, but a spill from any of them will do exactly jack :banana::banana::banana::banana: to your gear. That's the beauty of them.

hookid...just use distilled water bruh! Unless of course you are doing that mix metals dance with your gear.

hookid your avatar is way cool! :woot:

You owe me a new keyboard if mine stops working from me spilling coffe on it as a result of laughing at your avatar. :D

Ok...coolest as in temperature? Distilled Water. It's one of the building blocks of life for a reason. If it's good enough for billions of years of evolution to use, it's good enough for your cooling loops. (please, no evolution/intelligent design flames...)

Coolest as in spiffiest? Distilled water and some additive in it. What the additive is depends on your tastes. If you're chilling the water, anti-freeze is good (it also kills little nasties). If you have lights, UV reactive dye is cool.

Everything else is only a pale shadow. And yes, there are certain things you could replace water with (flourinert, ect) that would work decently, they add cost.

Just my $0.02

its worce then pure water.....

I say screw phase and make a chiller.

To the OP, if by coolest you mean awsome then pure water because its the best performer. If by coolest you mean coldest then in a chiller methanol cut with water since you need very little of methanol and gett o keep more water meaning better performance.

That made no sense.

You mean because you can chill it?

Sorry yes thats what I mean, for a chiller coolant that is the best mix. Post edited.
