How much liquid do you need....

[brighttail]

for a 270mm Cylindar reservoir, 2 x 420mm radiators, 2x GPUs, 1 CPU, 1 MOBO(cooling chips) and a D5 pump that is separate from the reservoir?

 

I ask cause if i'm going to use colour liquid they come in 1 litre bottles and I 'm trying to figure roughly how much i'd need.

 

Oh the case is enthoo primo so it is big. The pump will be under the HD bay.

 

Thanks,

Not sure, because the amount of tubing you use also plays a role. Just fill up your system with distilled water, then drain and measure it.

Go through this process with distilled water:

This^

Or you could order a bunch of dye and make the coolant yourself.

That is a good idea, unfortunately i am in Canada so I have to order this stuff outside the country. I was kinda hoping to get everything all in one  go. 

 

3 liters? 4, ?  6? How much is too much? I don't mind ordering a couple extra liters for top ups and incase I have an issue.

It would depend on how thick those 420mm rads are, if they're skinny ones 1.5-2.5 liters should be a good approx. I know for a 360 x 60mm rads can take 0.5liter for one item alone to just to give some perspective.

 

As for places to purchase things I would suggest Dazmode they're based in Canada and have basically everything you'll need, NCIX is another but unless you want to wait 3-4weeks it's not the best.

i used 2.5 liters for a 420 x 45mm, 280x 60mm, cpu, dual gpu, dual bay res and some tubing. Hope this helps.
I also use the enthoo primo so amount of tubing is approximately the same.

btw, where are you putting that second 420? I would guess the bottom but that doesn't fit unless you're planning on removing the metal plate in front of the HDD and 5.25" bays.

i would suggest somewhere around 3 liters should give you some spare if in doubt get 4

I was actually just looking at this.  I may have to deal with a 280 or 320 and just make it thicker. 

 

Thanks.. i'll probably get 4l to be on the safe side.

Distilled water from Walmart and you are gtg!! Distilled water is better than any premixed coolant imo.

I did a 280 in the bottom, you can go push pull with an 80mm rad without reaching the top of the PSU shroud.

I second this. Distilled and a piece of .999 silver.

[Joshua Ondangan]

if you're using distilled water just grab 4 liter bottle x2 and you're good to go. you can even drink it if you want (the left overs).

 

not sure about prices but in my area I can buy it next door 1.76$ (78 pesos) If I recall right it's the 4 liter ones.

Are you trying to kill the guy?

Drinking distilled water will fuck up your stomach by osmosis.

you'll end up in the hospital for that.

Wilkins Distilled water can at least be consumed mate and so does absolute distilled water

 

dunno about other distilled water so answer is no I'm not trying to kill the guy.

I think i'm going with the clear tubing.  Now the question about Mayhem's liquid or Dye.  I heard liquids do not stain as much. Anyone know if Mayhems has a biocide included? I can just add a few drops i know.

Btw this is how it looks with my possible routing.  BTW i'm getting a second Asus Poseidon

it would be your choice to go clear tubing but those adv lrt blood red if I recall right is the name is looking pretty sexy.

This is absolutely incorrect.

The absence of minerals in distilled water will make the cells in the stomach wall take up so much water to the point that they burst.

This is due to the extreme difference between dissolved molecules in the cells and in the distilled water (osmosis).

 

(of course this does not apply when one takes just one sip, but drinking this stuff in large quantities will make your stomach burst)

If you are so sure that it's safe please try. Get yourself that Darwin award mate.

lol when my daughter was new born we use wilkins distilled water then mixed up milk powder.

 

I've drank wilkins distilled water for a long time and guess what I'm still alive. IDK where you get this but you can drink it and not die or get sick or something.

 

a lot of people here actually drink distilled water (normally the middle class or higher class one since 78php (1.76$) is already expensive for the lower class. since purified water is much cheaper.

these might be some random talks and some are not in English but come here in the country you'd see the majority of people drink it.

 

It may be different to where you're from but in here we drink the bejesus out of it. (well not really but you get my drift >.<)

 

edit: it may not be the best but it is drinkable.

 

although if talking about mineral water I tend to go to a brand called Masafi I don't know I just like it more than others. (used to drink this when I was working in the middle east).

 

this is actually a good read.

distilled water may not be the best due to the absent of other stuff but it does not mean you will kill a person or get them sick.

not like you drink it 24/7 too due to the fact it's more expensive than what normal people buy.

You mixed it with milk powder and thus dissolved stuff into it. Then it does not apply.

It is in fact true that people drink this stuff in places where the water is so contaminated that you have to, but even then they will add salts afterwards to make it drinkable again.

 

Please don't go drinking it pure.

I've drank it pure and so does people not 24/7 but we've drank it and we are fine. I have't tried adding salt to it or anything.

 

 

most of the time I just buy the 4 liter one and drink and a lot of people here do actually >.< but it's not like we chugle it down in 1 sitting

I looked up some info on that wilkins water of yours.

It's purified via distillation and then has minerals re-added to make it drinkable. (like loads of other bottled waters).

This stuff is basically cleaned tap water.

The distilled water I use in the laboratory and the stuff one should put in their loop is what I am talking about and is NOT safe for consumption.

the one used in lab could be different but I've used this water in the loop and I'm not having any problems at least water wise but the stuff I put inside.

using wilkins or absolute distilled water works in custom water cooling loop.

 

but anyways guess we were talking about 2 different things >.< anyways we can move on.

O and sorry OP for derailing this thread.
Too bad peeps don't know what actual distilled water is.
