Whats up with the Aquaduct?

[Top Nurse]

oh wait... your telling me the side alu has contact with the coolant? So its mixing metals then?

Blah this might change everything then. I was hopping it was just a bling. But if its touching the alu and your going to mix metals.


Honestly my intentions in this product was exactly like iany says. Dual it up with 2 aquaducts. Make them look like speakers on a HTPC. Have one do the CPU/BOARD, The other GFX cards. It would look dayam professional and hella nice, but if its mixing metals.

We have recently seen the downfall of another closely held false belief related to tubing size. I can tell you there are thousands of people world wide who are doing this day in and day out with no problems.

Before you go on about heavy mixtures of automotive concoctions to keep this from happening let me tell you about the AC Fluid additive I use (and comes with this kit). I mix 98% distilled water and 2% of AC Fluid together. As you can imagine a 2% mix of just about anything isn't going to seriously degrade the cooling potential of water.

AC Fluid is a pure anti-corrosion product. It doesn't do anything, but prevent corrosion. Another similar product is InnovaProtect from Innovatek. Do you really think that two of the largest producers of water cooling equipment in the world would be selling aluminum and copper based systems if they thought there was the slightest chance in hell that there would be corrosion? In Europe manufacturers have to warranty their products for a minimum of two years per the European Union.

So as I posted elsewhere today please believe me that there isn't any corrosion in my Aqua Computer systems and give me the benefit of the doubt till someone "proves" what I am talking about. It probably doesn't matter to you, but AC uses a company to do their hard anodizing, that is primarily involved in the medical field and has extremely high standards about their processes. They don't use the plating company down the street that does the cheapest job.

BTW, you guys got a lot more moula than I do if your thinking of a pair of Aquaduct's for a HTPC.
