Yes you wont get corrosion if you have stuff like copper, nickel or brass. Just stay away from aluminum.

so wich would i need for having nickel copper bras ?

distilled + glycol ?
or distilled + killcoil ?

If you haven't aluminium in loop (and as you mentioned - all your components are nickel/copper/brass/stainless steel), any coolant will do, as you don't need to care about corrosion. What i can advise - distilled with something to prevent algae growth. For example - killcoil or few drops of some biocide (eg. PHN copper). Glycol sounds like some antifreeze? No need for that (see above). It will just worsen thermal transfer properties of coolant.

Although I'm not sure about this, I remember reading something about glycol and a gunky buildup being related, or something like that.

Protection? Protect me from what?.... Well most people are not aware until it is too late, but little micro organisms love to water cool as much as you do! Usually it is too late to do anything but drain your system, do a massive cleaning and start all over again. But hopefully this time you will use PrimoChill's latest water cooling fluid innovation, Liquid Utopia.

Liquid Utopia is designed for PRO users wanting minimal additive in their cooling loop of De-ionized Water or Distilled Water***. It offers a full line of protection against algae and corrosion when adding to your new or existing cooling loops*. The proprietary blend of ingredients used in PrimoChill's Liquid Utopia are specially formulated to provide a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent, capable of eliminating and maintaining the microbiological growth found in closed loop water cooling systems.

Liquid Utopia also boasts "PLT" (preventive layer technology), which used on a clean install will help protect your system well into the future. Liquid Utopia has also been formulated to protect ferrous and non-ferrous metals from corrosion, which is especially important in today's higher performance mixed metals water cooling systems.

The "PLT" sounds like it forms some sort of layer on your parts to protect against any microbes from making a home. The thing is, we've seen in the past where things that leave "layers" tend to stay there and need extra work to get rid of them, if you don't, they'll build up and create a layer that doesn't transfer heat to well and there go your temps.

Hmm my coolant is still blue, ill see what damage (if any) has been done to my system, i know it left horrible blue marks on my table. that primochill stuff looks good

Yeah, I don't like the sound of that layer stuff. Stick with a killcoil or PTNuke.

That term "layer" seems like marketing jargon referring to nothing more than a wetting agent. Best results are straight distilled, distilled with kill coil/PT Nuke and if you want color, LRT tubing.

finaly decided to ditch colored crap asswell.
i had a gunk in my ek supreme HF full nickel after 1 month or less usage.

flow dropped from 3 liter per min or even 3,1 liter per min to 2,5 2,6 liter per min sudenly.

now if pre ordered colored tubing and new reservoir while at it.

still running fine with koolance blocks

anyone expriences with thermochil ec6 clear uv coolant ?

and no i dont got uv dye's in it just the clear bottle off water so my guess i should't worry about any kind off gunk or some sort thats caused by uv dye's ?

reason i'm asking cous it say's clear uv on bottle makes me wonder does it have a uv dye in it or does it just mean its good to use with uv dye's cous i dont care about that.

wow. guys hope I don't have the same problem as you guys as I bought feaser before reading this for my 24/7 liquid cooling of my i7 950 CPU with DD-MCP water block. I will report back soon. I just hope it'll last longer than 8 months. :)

Not to resurrect an old thread, but

I just looked at my res today and notice white stringy flakes in it. I flushed the cooling system completely couple of weeks ago as I was adding evga gtx 580 hydrocopper 2 to my system. I am using fesser one clear UV coolant, been using it for over a year before. Not sure what those flakes are... As far as I know evga uses swiftech waterblock for their gtx 580s. Is there a chance of a reaction between new card and my cpu waterblock Heatkiller 3.0? Or my rads? Algae growth?
I am afraid that I would need to disassemble my new gtx 580 to clean it now, is there a way to flush it??? Should I just refill it after I flush it with same fesser one fluid?

Wow this is a flashback.

Yeah. Probably should have made a new thread. Sounds like you're having classic dye problems, not reactions.

My apologies,
Stumbled upon this through Google.
Thank you for your reply though. I'll get to flushing.

i been running feser dye for a year with out anything clogging, maybe because i flush my system every 3 months?

If you flush every three months, you're not running the same fluid for over a year ;)

Here is my Feser One F1 UV Blue Experience

Yeah buddy, vinegar and salt = back to new.

Guy's years ago I bought a bottle of Midnight Blue Fluid XP ULTRA. It's the kind that is concentrated and I mix it 1 part with 3-4 parts distilled. I've used it in prolly 5 different loops, and I have never once had any build-up, corrosion, color fade, or algae. Also It only very very slightly stains the tubing.

To bad you can't get the ULTRA anymore:(
