    You should be also aware that Supremacy can only support compression fittings up to 10mm (3/8"), this only applies in case you are not using SLI.

    That's no distilled water bro. that's pure alcohol! I use it to clean the chips before applying the heatsinks. I get distilled water from Car battery shops, very cheap and cost only 2 riyals per liter !

    I ordered my Supreme HF bridge edition directly from EKWB !

    Distilled water for cooling or cleaning?

    Distilled or Deionized (UK) or even really good RO water is close enough to use. I'd use my RO from my workplace, a huge system. Our Conductivity is in the low 20's, meaning all the buildup stuff is gone.

    I use alcohol and Artic clean to clean chip surfaces, especially on any Vram Vreg etc surfaces. Alcohol will not clean the slimy Tpad stuff off. I also use Sekisui T-tape for any heatsink. Best stuff.

    ya i use Artic clean to clean chips and vram, as for Sekisui tape i see they only come in .14 thickness i ask because some companies like EK use different thicknesses for different parts like vram .5mm and vrig 1.5mm .

    Yep, I use what a full cover block maker calls for. But when it's individual heatsinks like in the pic above, Sekisui Ttape is best. And the EK/Koolance/XSPC isn't sticky tape, it's pads, or called Tpad vs Ttape vs Tpaste.

    How much do you pay for it? Do you get it from Dhabab street, cause the one I use seems to lack in quality ?

    i have RO water from my work - 9-12 microSm/cm but i doubt that distilled water from nearest gas-station will be good enough
    edit: i mean that "simple" distilled water _as good as_ my RO water in loop. i just have accces to RO so no need to buy distilled water...

    Still, your money. The difference between your Feser water and distilled off a pharmacy shelf, or Deionized (UK) or really good RO water will make not one iota of diff in a WC loop. It's not a lab making pharmacuticals, it's just a WC loop.

    Like a car, the gas we have causes corrosion to pumps/hoses etc. I'm sure you can buy Petrol for $75 a gallon if it bothers you that much.

    Just a comparison, but a good one.
