[Skinnee Labs] Coolant/Fluid - Thermal Performance

[rjkoneill]

hi there

i have nanofluid in my rig and it performs better than distilled, not really sure why your results came up like that.

it takes a few days to settle down. admittedly, my temps were a little higher when i first filled the loop but i put that down to the blooeding process [and the newley added GTX480]

also, it is slightly more viscous than water with sort of an oily property to it, i found that i needed to turn my pump up slightly to get best results.

fluid goes in the res and is cloudy



fluid goes clear after a few days and works better [i noticed a 4'C-6'C drop in temps across all 6 cores of my cpu and a 3'c drop on the gpu but again put this down to air in the loop/ambient temp change]
the suspended cloudyness disappears



fluid level in res remains the same, therefore its not really likely that i had/or have trapped air in the loop

quite surprised as my d5 on the 5th setting pushes fluid far faster than the 2x 18w ddc with EK tops that i had prior to that.

i just find it really odd how the fluid that has performed the best in all of my testing, is by far and away the worst in this test.
