I tok use pure distill water only or with kill coil or silver coil will cause ek nickel to flake?

Ytd chk wif scorpia pricing on coolant
first thing tell amargadon then ask gt ek or mayhem concentration price arnd $35-$39. Later chking wif other shops their pricing

If u buying from ppcs, might as well get from there.

U can check with Adeep91 at vrz. He also selling coolant, only a matter of whether he gt stocks or not.

Not using nickel already. decided to go full copper. haha

Im nt using distiled water. Using aqc clear coolant with kill coil.

Do add a kill coil in ur res. Whether to add biocide or nt is up to u, but since u using distilled, then jus add bah. Depend on jill coil alone isnt enough,unless u using coolant which have biocide added le.

icic.. i thinking of pure distilled water then add mayhem X1 dye + kill coil.
read online, they say don't mix kill coil with biocide.
probably add 2 kill coil in different part of the loop.

Monsoon silver bullet is jus plated only. Web say recommend replace every 6 months. get proper coil put in res better

Don't leh. I see u wan nickel csq I also decide to change back from copper acetal. Forum say issue had been fixed and some still encounter maybe improper use of coolant. Wad ek recommend anything from ek and mayhem if insist to use distilled water and kill coil/silver coil then go copper.

haha Nickel more chio right. its plated and i read they experienced flaking when use with mayhem or something.
so i went to change to copper.
I should be ordering Mayhem X1 Yellow dye with distilled water.

recently Alphacool rads got alot of issue. alot of junk inside the rad. Very hard to flush out then have to buy the Mayhem Proclean kit to remove the junk. damn sian. thought of changing to EK XTX but alot more ex and lesser ports too.

let's see how.

On the sidenote, my plastic cable clip from ebay has arrived. will post photo of it tonight. lol. Photobucket bandwidth overload. tonight will reset.

lol. i change from copper to nickel. they say they solve the nickel issue.
some pro told me that copper once touch by human skin, cause of oil, will turn black. LOL.

let's hope the nickel helps.
now wait for EK to release their gpu blocks for gtx970 as well as the FC bridge.

anyway, current config of my fans is

top 360 RAD, fan pushing air thru the rad and out of case. (Easier to clean, unscrew the fan and clean) or should put the fans ontop of the rad and pull air out of the case?

bottom 240 RAD, fans ontop of rad to push air out of the case from the bottom vents. Front 2x140mm and back 1x140mm (all included fans by 750D) to feed air into the case.
but cannot customise the yellow rings. sian. unless i go buy the AF140 and sell the original fans

Nope. Nothing added. Yea I have access to industrial grade demin water so far ok for me.
Not sure if distill water is the same though.

Of cos the conductivity of the water goes up the moment I add it to the loop but I guess the process removes most of the bio stuffs so no issue so far.
