You planning to use concentrate with colour? Better do a flush of radiators properly because sometimes alot of impurities in the rad can cause the colour of the water inside to change.
Some rads have more than 2 ports. Alphacool can have up to 7 ports? Only the thin ones has 2 ports. So if in using left side port, out should not be on the left again bah..
Many times, dont think 'distilled' water is actually distilled. Maybe at most filter only
Unless you cincai like me, I just buy battery water LOL from some convenience store at petrol kiosk.
Sent from Huawei NEXUS 6P using GAGT
Even new one need to flush?
Flushing same right? Use distilled water?
Golden rule: res then pump. The order after that do not matter.
For rad, either ports can be inlet/outlet, no specific direction. Only for CPU block then got specific direction that needs to be followed.
For GPU block, the inlet and outlet must be opposite of each other. Otherwise, ur coolant wun flow through the block.
If u wanna use distilled water, get silver coil as well.
Ah thanks. It's the rad that I'm concern about cause after reading, cannot find anything that says which is IN and which is OUT. So I presume either way.
Might not be a good thing to start out just CPU only. Cause the shipping, the tax, may ended up paying more than just shipping everything to one.
Also, when you plan to wc your gpu, you may need to drain out and redo the loop again unless you got excess tubings with QDC connected.
But nevertheless its your choice.
Distilled water cannot anyhow buy. Some distilled water still have ions and impurities left over when distillation takes place. Although by right it should not have. But somehow some residues are left behind.
As what monikernemo mentioned, you will need to add bioxide. You cant add too much nor too little.
Talk to you more when you pass me your chip ba.
As this is my first time, so thought of doing 1 block first.
Because my Predator 240 kena recalled and EKWB giving full refund including shipping cost. So I take it as a chance for me to try custom loop.
The EK coolant concentrate I bought stated already biocide added so no need liao. Only mix with distilled water. So now I not sure where to get distilled water. Those Watsons one or car battery one can trust?
Actually the most heat is produced by gfx card , if u just water cool cpu like no point le
Yes. As mentioned, this is a test run first. To get some experience.
Further down the road, I intend to try hard tubing so now learn the basic first like the setup, installation, flushing, leak test, etc.
Because since married and now with a boy already, I had since given up on night life, chiong with bros, etc etc.
So must find something to do...
