EKWB's corporate ego won't let them go anywhere near the $50 mark for any of their stuff. Even the fucking fittings are $35

Okay. There are a few problems with how you express your opinion. The first is assuming I'm a total idiot. This is literally the same tubing they use in your basic Asetek AiO. It's made by the same company. The second is assuming I didn't already flush the tubing. The third is alcohol, especially isopropyl, is extremely deadly to bacteria and growth. Adding a few drops into the reservoir during filling prevents any bacteria from even beginning to grow. But yeah, let's completely ignore the 3 years I've been doing this and the 13 years of PC experience I have, and let some chesty teenager express his opinion on the Internet like he owns it. If you haven't read already read the post: I worked in plastic engineering in college. I was rushing, and not paying attention when I was cleaning my reservoir. I know full well that alcohol is bad for acrylic and what grows in ethylene glycol and what doesn't. The clog in Linus's loop was due to a local floral fungus, not anything that Linus had done. Since he put the loop in the fucking bathtub and had a giant plastic bin as a reservoir. It's the middle of winter and there is nothing growing at all. Maybe next time do some fucking research before you get schooled again. FURTHERMORE; the antifreeze I use comes with a biocide already mixed in. So yeah. Being a pedantic toad will get you nowhere. Assuming I'm a rookie and an idiot is a huge mistake. I didn't ask for your judgement or your opinion, take your high and might attitude elsewhere. If you're gonna act like an asshole, go away. that was a whole room with multiple people in an uncontrolled environment. Again, go be high and mighty somewhere else. Judging by your post history you think you are better than everyone else. You aren't. But I am.

it's highly toxic to most living things. I have another custom loop I built running on a 4790K build and it's been running for 8 months without issue. Sold this thing a whole back but I keep in touch with the new owner.

It's still actively moving fluid, but the big pump overpowers it. Think of it more as a failsafe. When I get the replacement pump in, I'm going to run both my "broken" one and the replacement for this reason. I have an actual CPU block coming in on Friday, but I want to use my desktop while I wait so this is doing the job just fine. Lowered it to 4.5Ghz at 1.32v. Under 70c.

antifreeze. ethylene glycol is extremely toxic. nothing could grow in there if it tried. but also a few drops of alcohol wont hurt

makes it easier to read

First the reservoir broke. They're sending me a replacement, but I want a working PC, soooooo... I used a short PVC pipe to "fix" it. The tubes are just kitchen sink hose, 10ft for $7 at Lowes. That wasn't good enough, had some issues, like leaking 1 drop per hour. Not bad but didn't want an escalation. So I just grabbed a similarly sized rubber joint with hose clamps. Works better and no leaks Just waiting for a real CPU block and my second 1070. Front radiator is push-pull, top radiator is Push.

With an avatar like that, I'm not surprised that's your only true comment contribution to this entire website. Yes I know where it's from. Cougar makes some decent cases. I have an MX-330 myself. But cougar needs to take that abhorrent trash off the market immediately. That's not a case. It's a parts stand.

You need less money

no, I got 10 feet from Lowes for $7. It's fiberglass reinforced clear vinyl I think, same shit used in most AiOs. yeah I got one of my 240mm rads from a $50 AiO off ebay and the other off amazon for $20. Combined those with the $35 pump from amazon and the $7 tubing its easy tbh, and you can use basic antifreeze. Most AF is ethylene glycol/water premix, the EG is an anti corrosive that lets you mix metals. I am using 2 aluminum rads and a copper block atm. 75c on all 6 cores at 4.6ghz 1.4v.

I work in a lot of different fields, I worked in plastics engineering while in college

it's brand new lmao

Read the very first sentence of Post #1. The answer to your question is that it doesn't matter whether it's for PC cooling or toilets. It's fucking PVC. It's plastic. It doesn't matter.
