Coolant amount for high restriction loop?

[hacgumyu]

I am watercooling the CPU, NB and GPU. with single pump and 2x120mm radiator. How much % of coolant I should add to the distill water?

I brought G11 blue coolant from audi/VW dealer

D-Tek Fusion
MCW30 NB
MCW60 GPU
D5 pump
Black Ice Xtreme II

I hear less coolant is better for high restriction loop, but how much? 10%? or 20%...etc

thanks

Without dissimilar metals in the loop, you don't even have to add anything but antialgae additive. If you add something like G11, then I'd say below 10%.

what is a good antialgae product? is something I could find in petco fish tank product shelf?

You actually don't need pentosin, unless you live in Siberia or something, and/or you have aluminum with copper or brass ;)

[hacgumyu]

without pentosin isn't that water gets hot, and only rely on fans and radiator to cooling?

where to get anti algae locally?

I'm not sure what you mean there, are you saying performance will be worse? If so, then no, because coolant actually decreases thermal conductivity and heat capacity ;)

Anymore than 5% and you will most likely lose performance...

As stated above with no mixing of metals, just a algae additive would be needed.

well then don't use it dude;D

Yup, I'll be using the wonderful stuff called dye ;) and PTNuke.
I seriously need to find a way to get all these potential waterblocks milled...faster...sooner.

here ya go, not to hijack the thread, but this should get you where you need to be on those blocks.

Continuing hijack...
I have access to one at school, however the time I can use it is somewhat limited...teacher doesn't just stay after school for hours helping some kid mill a waterblock.
