    Sounds COOL

    I would never build another computer without the fluids

    Makes a much more integrated system for future complexities. I cannot transfer my thoughts all that simply but I think that it marks a transition from machine to organic systems using the circulatory as well as the electronic systems.

    I will shut-up now

    Anyway glad you got it going! You can now help others set theirs up!

    Just curious for responses here:

    I have a Thermaltake BigWater cooling system which uses this coolant:


    The Thermaltake Big Water UV Sensitive Coolant is a 500cc bottle of refill fluid for your Big Water or other water cooling system. The UV dye within this Coolant reacts under ultra violet light with a glowing effect. This Coolant is safe for use with all metals and prevents rust and contamination. The main active ingredient in the Coolant is Ethylene Glycol which is an anti freeze used in most automobiles. It has improved heat transfer properties greater than normal water which is why this product can help to improve the performance of your water cooling system.

    My question is my supply tank is about half full/empty and I want to refill it.

    The Thermaltake Coolant is online for $12 USD per pint (plus shipping).

    Thermaltake claims: "The main active ingredient in the Coolant is Ethylene Glycol which is an anti freeze used in most automobiles."

    Anti Freeze for automobiles is usually cut 50/50 with distilled water. Most brands can be had at less that $20 USD a gallon (thus making 2 gallons cut or 16 pints) (hope my math is correct )

    Most differences in anti freeze that I see deal with the corrosive protection ingredients added to Ethylene Glycol.

    Most commercial antifreeze formulations include corrosion inhibiting compounds, and a colored dye (commonly a green, red or blue fluorescent) to aid in identification. A 1:1 dilution with water is usually used, resulting in a freezing point of approximately −40 °F (−40 °C). In warmer areas weaker dilutions are used.

    So what I am thinking is to put automotive anti-freeze into my Thermaltake.

    Am I crazy or what?

    Thanks Mike!

    I also posted on another forum that helped me when I first set up my cooling system and they said this is standard procedure in the cooling world.

    They suggested Zerex Racing Super Coolant plus Distilled water.

    The above site also has some other interesting info on liquid cooling.
