Nanofluid tested with three different temperatures on a Q6600

@SirHeck,

That's interesting. But do you realize that this thread is not about the FluidXP product?

I do like the idea of a fluid for cooling that does have the potential for biologic fouling, can be used for an extended period and has very good heat absorbing properties. I'm currently using distilled water plus Petra's PT Nuke, a cpu block, pump and a 240 rad / res combo. No separate reservoir. I like the simplicity of it, no bling, just very good and simple liquid cooling. The one draw back is pump speed. I have a D5 vario and anything higher than 3, puts a lot of air into the loop. A separate larger res would help to keep the air out of the loop at higher pumps speeds. I recently purchased one of Swiftech's MCR Drive 360 Rads. The slightly higher heat absorption capacity of the nanofluid could help a lot in a very simple loop. Simple in that there is no larger separate res and a smaller volume of liquid coolant.

So far the distilled water loop is fine. After 12 months, there's no fouling, temps are very good and the loop water is clear. Distilled is cheap and readily available where I live. I may have already found the ideal coolant.
