Swiftech Hydrx - Extreme Duty Coolant UV REACTIVE

[hollaback04]

hi guys, anybody using this coolant? today i took my mcr220 rad out. i saw some clouded white stuff on my tubes , my system is only running for about a month, i used distilled water on it. i need to drill my system and clean the rad asap. planning to purchase another kind of coolant. what coolant do you guys recommend? thx a lot if u can help

[Nate P.]

Pentosin or PT-Nuke w/ dyes.

[Boogerlad]

you gotta flush the rad dude! that's the white stuff. rad flux

[Pedalmonkey]

yeah, did you flush the rad. plus you'll get better temps with straight distiled and a biocide like PT-Nuke. if you want color just put in a dye like Nate said.

One note on using dye, make sure it is pump friendly. Using the wrong kind of dye can gum up a pump serious like.

Petra's dye is supposed to be pretty good. I'm not sure about others though.

frozenCPU dye isn't bad either. Seems to fade though after a short while (month or two at the most).

What about Feser? I'm between Feser and Petra's.

some members have had issues with fesser and I haven't heard of the same with petra's. use the search feature and check fesser in the w/c area and read up. I would stick with what these guys recommend. I water cool my cards but since I tear down my rig at least once a month I never see any difference in coolants or dyes myself.

Could we get some shots of the tubing? Could be it's not because of gunk in the the rad or the fluid but the tubing.

The best coolant in the world is Fluid XP+ Extreme 32 oz. Non Conductive Fluid

No. No it's not.

If you must use a premixed fluid try PC Ice, it seems to leave the leat gunk/residue... but all of them do.

Water+biocide and a BIT of dye... but be careful! dyes stain. If you care about the price of replacing tubing over and over, dye isn't your best bet.

If you dont mix metals then plain distilled and some biocide is the most inexpensive and effective coolant.

[Tsaroth]

Fluid xp is garbage. There are many reviews out there and other people's opinion that that stuff is just bad.

The old PC-ICE used particulant dyes and that's why it seemed to block up the pump a bit, any particulant dye will do that.

The new PC-ICE is a bit different. If you want a colored stuff without having to use dye etc then PC-ICE is probably a good idea.

Best stuff performance wise like already posted if probably distilled with pt-nuke from petrastechshop.com
