Hey,

I've been thinking about watercooling and i was wondering if you needed to use distilled water with the concentrates you can buy (mayhems specifically). I assumed that you do because of all the other things in tap/mains water so just clarifying.

Thanks

yes always use distilled water, tapwater clogs up blocks and such....

For Mayhems, it's mostly ease and looks. To get distilled water (fully distilled) is quite hard in some of the countries our members live in, so coolant is an easier solution.

as always you don't have to but i really recommend you do.

 

also a corsair or any other pre-made pre-filled water-cooling loop is good.
