I recently installed liquid cooling on my computer and need a disinfectant.
here is my system:
rad: alphacool xt45
gpu: EK-FC1080 GTX G1 - Nickel
tubing: ek Duraclear
res: xspc tank v3
pump: alphacool vpp655 pwm
coolant: tap water
please help me choose a coolant because i am sort of a noob at water cooling.
ekwb recommended the EK-CoolStream SE 240 (Slim Dual) radiator but i thought i could get a better one for the same price. on ek's cooling configurator it said the system would be 27c at idle while mine is 32c. i bought the alphacool nexXxos xt45 because it seemed better in every way because it had more fpi, and it was a full copper radiator. was i wrong, or is ekwb's estimate incorrect?
i made a custom loop, and i just hooked it up and ran heaven benchmark at extreme settings. i notices a buzzing sound like zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz coming from the gpu. i notice that there is a air bubble in the gpu waterblock but this is my first time watercooling so i dont know if that effects performance. i was getting around 76c on my 1070 i dont know if that is good or not but here are some pictures.
I am very sick right now so sorry if this is brief. Can I use tap water with red food coloring and leave it in my loop for a week until I have a metal coil disinfection thing?
Probably a problem with the motherboard. I don't know for sure, but that's my best bet. Might want to call your motherboard manufacturer and talk to them about it.
Look at this thing https://modmymods.com/alphacool-nexxxos-xt45-full-copper-60mm-single-radiator-14222.html
i was planning on doing a mod where I puta small rad on the PS3 cover of my case. I was wondering How much performance it would have.
