Hello LTT peoples of the internetz,

 

Just wanted to share my new cooling setup and show some results on 7600k + 8700k. This is pretty much "proof of concept". I do need some refinements. Hope you enjoy.

 

Parts

1x 2005 radiator from dodge dakota

 

2x 1080mm US robotics fan banks 48V DC

 

1x Swiftech block, pump, reservoir

 

All plumbing is mostly 3/8" tubing used for hot tubs with some fancy reduction to tie into rad

 

Hope you enjoy

Might be worried about galvanic corrosion, is that an alu or steel rad?

Want to custom loop?  Ask me more if you are curious

Aluminum Radiator.

 

Secret sauce is the windshield wiper fluid, been using it for 3 years in other loops. It doesn't corrode or create any unwanted mold/ bio film. Its only downside is at normal ambient temps the washer fluid has poor thermal exchange (worse than tap water)

If u use windshield wiper fluid it akts as a biocide cause it's got some type of alchohol in it (isopropyl or methanol)

Yes you are correct.

 

methyl hydrate is the active ingredient :)
