Fluid XP Strikes Again lol?

[Spencer1590]

Sup guys, i was just looking into performancepcs and see a link to the new fluidxp+nano fluid, and i just put my face like this 44 USD?!! for 32oz

omg, did this one is the real thing, or gonna happen the same that in petras video?.

Here is the Link http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...ducts_id=25161

Is 32oz enough for most loops?

2 x Fluid XP+ Nano-Fluid Liquid Cooling Fluid 32 oz.
Sub-Total: $89.98
United Parcel Service (1 x 4.00lbs) (Ground): $13.31
Total: $103.29

Don't spill any

"In more detail nano-technology is a water based coolant can pick up both positive and negative ions from various components of the cooling system and become electrically conductive over time."

That's a Ummmm, yeah... that's a pretty sad use of the english language and fairly narrow minded.

"Simply the Nano-Technology stops ions from attaching themselves to the coolant, creating a molecular barrier around the coolant. Unlike other coolants which contain harmful substances like ethylene glycol, which have salts that corrode and become conductive, Nano-Fluid is all Eco based with non-ionic corrosive inhibitors, which contain no salts and no corrosive properties."

Geeze, its Eco-based! Even more natural than distilled water :/ But then I had a good laugh under "Environmentally Friendly / Non-Toxic" section:

* Almost No Handling Risks

Lol

Don't spill any

2 block + triple rad + small rez + 11 ID tubing uses way less [if you kee tubing short]

Not that I'd pay that kind of money for a fancy bottle of what is about as efficient as water >.>

I was under the impression that "nanofluid" was something completely else?

I seem to recall that it was about energy transmission, not about corrosion inhibition...

I might have my facts mixed though...

Nano Nano?



The advertising possibilities are mind boggling.

[belmontrich]

ok is that cheap or is that stiff?

[MrToad]

Didn't have my facts mixed:

and...

http://www.osti.gov/bridge/servlets/...able/11048.pdf

They just added a hyphen and coined a whole new marketing concept. Oh well...

Personally, in that price tag, as some fellow member suggested, I'd rather use Jägermeister as coolant, and lick it if I have a leak/spillage

[Power_VANO]

No-one should buy it if he/she is reasonable, if you'd like to get answer its crap, you can buy a waterblock for 45$

[Sadasius]

WOW!!! What a freakin deal...I'll buy 10 bottles please!

[NaeKuh]

"How does it work? Simply the Nano-Technology stops ions from attaching themselves to the coolant, creating a molecular barrier around the coolant. Unlike other coolants which contain harmful substances like ethylene glycol, which have salts that corrode and become conductive, Nano-Fluid is all Eco based with non-ionic corrosive inhibitors, which contain no salts and no corrosive properties. "

Okey then how the hell is water suposed to exchange heat?

Since when was ethylene glycol responsible for corrosion? Having high concentration actually helps prevent it.

Can we say LOAD OF BULL.

Someone please shoot FluidXP. Infact Someone Tell hank to pull the description. Its so miss leading.

[Petra]

Hmm, that stuff is more expensive than the motherboards that I blew up... something's wrong here

Amusingly enough, FluidXP contacted me a while back asking that I try this stuff out and provide them with feedback... a few e-mails later, we got to the point where I started asking for real information about the coolant so that I could put together some useful tests. After that, they completely disappeared. Go figure

[ILikeCosmosS]

i would rather buy some primochill or feser dye then that stuff !
it is just pointless!

[Spencer1590]

Lol, i think this just a failure again

[zeroibis]

I think they might come up with a new version that has biodegradable containers for only $20 bucks more, so that the lefties can sleep at night. lol

They already have the ECO conscious folks covered.


I used FluidXP in my first build ... the midnight blue was the most gorgeous color. Of course, it didn't look very good when it gunked up my chipset block, which then overheated my system, which then caused a crack in my reservoir, which then leaked in my case ... I think you get the idea. But, gotta say again, it was beeeuuutiful

[Tsaroth]

Is that the color the conservationists bleed after hey slit their wrists due to the bottles not being made out of recyclable plastics?

[Martinm210]

Hmmm

And what two specifications defines a coolant's ability to store and remove heat?

That would be specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity.

Until a coolant manufacturer is openly willing to post these two critical specifications and how it compares to water you can pretty much guarantee it's worse.

Marketing BS at work...science...what's that?

While nano fluid does show some promise, there's also no mention as to what the concentration of nanofluid is...it could be one drop for all they've provided.

I'd be willing to wager money your $0.89/gallon grocery store distilled water thermally performs better....that's robbery right there.

Wow...$45 bucks for antifreeze and block clogging dyes that'll make your computer cool worse, your pump flow less, and fry your computer if it leaks anyway?...Failure is expensive these days.

[relttem]

I think the only thing that might be remotely NANO in this stuff is the pigment used to dye it blue. We (Ice Dragon) are thinking about getting some and pitting it against our REAL nanofluid to see how it performs.

Waste of time.

It's just water+corrosion inhibitor+dye, with a lot of marketing verbal diarrhea.

If your nanofluid performs ever so slightly better than distilled+biocide (as did this one), it already performs better than this flavour of Fluid XP.

Awesome, now how long before they market that I can run my car on it

that is our stuff..that was our first iteration..our next iteration, which we hope to send out to the same testers really soon, should be even better.

Looking forward to some real science indeed

Right now, the only coolants that would be more efficient than distilled water are either hazardous, nocive, or ridiculously expensive. Some of them a combination of the three.

[pwolfe]

relttem, is your stuff ever going to be available to the public? They are even coming out with a white version of theirs.
