Fluid?

[Guest]

I am planning to get an H220x in my new PC. I want to get some clear tubing and RED fluid. I have seen some horrors on forums of what happens with pre mixed fluid. I am pretty sure that the H220x has a silver coil so that should help. What should I use? I don't want to end up buying all new parts due to corrosion. I was thinking maybe distilled water with some kind of dye. If you guys don't have a definitive answer, I can always ask around at Microcenter when I buy the parts. By the way the CPU is a 5820k.

It's ok to use dye in your loop when u go distilled water, but don't forget about kill coil and biocide (both).

I would reccomend this dye. If you won't use too much of it, it will be fine, just check your loop once a year (when replacing liquid) if temps are ok.

UPD: Also UV dye is a great way for leaktest, 'cause u'll see all the leaks immediatly.

Thanks so much.

Thanks so much.

Np, but don't forget about anti corrosive adds also.

You can try to put some droplets of dye on a water block, then close it and wait for 18-24 hours. If it won't get dark in a place of contact with dye, then it's ok. If does, just clean it with toothbrush and ketchup.
