Mayhems Pastel Sunset Yellow Concerntrate Mixing help

[PeggersXtreme]

Hi,

 

I have just received my Mayhems concentrate coolant in the mail and wanted to know if Deionised water was suitable for the mix or does it need to be Distilled as I can't find any stores where I live that sell Distilled only Deionised

 

Thanks

Distilled is preferred as it has most impurities removed so it's as close to pure water as you are going to get. Have you checked your local pharmacy they usually have distilled water.

Distilled is better since de-ionized water tends to strip ions from the metal parts in the loop, but it's still better than having no distilled water.

I haven't checked a pharmacy yet but thanks for the idea I will check on my way home from work tomorrow Also my set up has two 360mm rads and two 480mm rads I was planning doing a 360mm and a 480mm loop for my two Titan X's and a 360mm and a 480mm loop for my CPU (5960X) would this be better than a single loop with parallel pumps the pumps are Alphacool D5 vario's

If you are able to do a dual loop setup I would definitely do it but it does take more effort to maintain so keep that in mind.

A dual loop you could do but it's mainly be for aesthetics, there isn't much difference if you were to separate them since you do have more than enough rad space for all those components.

Yeah I went a bit overkill with the radiators but I am hoping to run my fans super slow and even have some of them off when not needed to reduce noise so I thought the more radiator space the more surface area the heat would have to dissipate

True, it does make it nice to idle things when at max load or later down the line for 4 way SLI  B)

Found distilled water the pharmacy only had really small bottles so I looked around and found a science store that sold chemicals such as sulphuric acid and other sciency stuff lol. They had 5 litre bottles of distilled water   Thanks for the tip to check pharmacies though I would have never thought of that also gave me the idea to check the other place. (UK pharmacies are tiny compared to the ones in the U.S. probably why they don't sell bigger bottles of it here)
