Whats up with the Aquaduct?

[rogueagent6]

I guess a mans word is his bond has gone out of favor.

Your maturity, or lack thereof amuses me.

Unfortunately the answer is yes and no. If you RTFM it simply isn't a problem. BTW, AC isn't the only one that has aluminum in their wc equipment.

Your point is?

Read further down under Protection. Shield the metals to keep the reaction from occuring. AC Fluid ring a bell? Medical grade hard anodizing ring a bell?

Anodizing wears out, additives don't last forever...

Sorry, but if you read the whole thread you will see that the OP ran it without an anti-corrosive protection. Furthermore I claim shenanigans on those pics. Now just how in the hell did that gooey looking stuff grow all the way across a tube that had water flowing through it? I think someone dropped that in a beaker and added some juice to make a point.

Good job, way to make enemies.

I think you mean Aqua Computers, correct? AquaPC is a member of this forum and is a dealer in water cooling parts. How many squirrels does it take to hide away a months supply of chestnuts? I guess it is back to being called liar's and charlatans, heh?

Since you obviously haven't figured it out, this is XtremeSystems... We will strive to achieve that last 1-2 C.

Nope, but I have no need to know because it ing works.

Since you're so sure, you care to back it up with factual data?

I can't about the process used, but on the [H]ardForum their is a thread about this where someone from AC commented on where they have the hard anodizing done. IIRC it is a company called A.G. Rhodes whose primary operations is in working with medical grade processes. From what I recall they spend about 5-7 Euro's a part to have their hard anodizing done. They don't use the local yokels plating company down the street that charges 0.5 Euro's per part due to QC issues.

Fair enough.

Nope because I'm not the manufacturer. I'm just a user, but as I pointed out all manufacturers of consumer equipment in the EU have to warranty their products for two (2) years IIRC.

If I remember correctly, all the components I've ever purchased have been warrantied for longer than two years. Now, if that AC product fails outside of the warranty and takes other components out because it failed, what are you going to do? If I paid what you did for that setup, I would expect it to be warrantied for at least as long as a CPU/Video card/Hard drive.

Now where is my ostrich pic when I need it. Conversely there are way to many traffic fatalities and serious accidents associated with driving cars as well. Are you also suggesting that you do not drive as well? Of course not because the chances of getting hit while doing everything your supposed to do is minimal.

No, but flying is statistically safer than driving. That's what I liken your argument to. There are less factors in play in a custom brass/copper system than your AC setup, therefore fewer chances for failure.

BTW, I don't give a rats ass what happens to someone else's loop because the couldn't RTFM. Besides we are talking about my loop, right? If you look at the link above for theseeker's box you will see that he has been mixing metals for about three years now. Guess what? No corrosion....

So please start another thread if you want to turn the flame on.

I think you already turned it on.

1. Your maturity, or lack thereof amuses me.
2. Your point is?
3. Anodizing wears out, additives don't last forever...

1. Glad your amused so easily.
2. It should have been obvious. What part of it don't you understand?
3. As I said before RTFM If it wears out in the next 5-10 years who cares? Besides it isn't in a wear environment.
4. I call them the way I see them.
5. Well actually it wasn't 1-2 C. I was just being nice. What we (those who run this kind of equipment) have actually seen is a 1 to 1.5 C difference. Those who have made real life observations think that it appears to be closer to about 1 C. See various links and posts in this thread. Besides do you really think that a 1 C difference will make any difference in the ability to use your computer? See the post a few back from R1ckCa1n.
6. Several thousand users that haven't had a problem. In Europe the mixing of metals is almost commonplace. Here in the states it is gaining ground because what you are saying has been proven time and time again by the users themselves that have tried it. What else do you want? I actually have three metals in my loop (silver, aluminum, and copper).
7. See, you can add 1 and 1 and make 2.
8. I could care less as I'm not connected with the manufacturer or their distribution network in any way. Besides your issue is one of value. Personally I think gold is crap and prefer platinum, but that doesn't mean gold is crap to everyone else. Sounds to me like this isn't your cup of tea so don't buy it. However, don't dis it just because you don't like it's look or it doesn't hold to your belief system.
9. Your the one talking about chance. I'm the one talking about the way it is.
10. Oh well, it will make for an interesting thread. What cracks me up is that every time there is one of these kinds of threads on the internet the AC distributors in the English speaking world say that sales take a sharp up turn. Those AC guys in Germany have had to buy four more CNC's since December 2006 just to keep up with the demand.

1C difference from what? A superstar Thermochill/Laing/D-Tek/Swiftech build? or from the venerable Thermaltake rigs?

How does the lack of interaction between Silver and Copper make your point?

Just like how you've been giving your opinions "freely" on other people's equipment which you have admitted to not having used, what makes your equipment so special that he's not allowed to voice his comments on it?

Glad to be of service. They'll need all the help they can get.
