Watercooling What coolant do you use? Show us with pictures!

That's why you've not upgraded for so long, your afraid of spilling a drop! lol!

 

yeah... you'd definitely want some of those no spill decoupler things. Upgrading would be a pain in the ass.

 

Not as much as you'd think. It is 1.79 times the weight of water, but has very low viscosity and once the pump overcomes inertia it is all good.

And it's not just the price --that stuff is incredibly hard to get your hands on.

I designed the whole loop to be removable from the case (pump, res, tubing, blocks) without having to disconnect any parts of the loop. But yes, once you need to change a block... it's a pain. Even more so because it evaporates at room temperature. This is great in case of a spill since your components dry quickly and it leaves no residue, but you cannot just leave fluid to collect in an open tray or container. You need to drain the loop into a container quickly and immediately put an airtight lid/cap on the container.

But the real reason for not upgrading is that I haven't needed to for a long time. However I am working on the next build... found someone who can do some CNC for me.

 

Nice. I've just discovered someone who can do a bit of this and that with cnc. However, I'm so new to the concept of building something from scratch I need to design something first.

 

All paid for in an hrs overtime I bet.

 

Unfortunately in the NHS we don't get paid overtime. :/

 

So is it just paid at your basic hourly rate for any overtime worked?

 

I would suggest Nex doesn't get paid anything if he works extra hours! Just like my job :/

 

NHS or Civil service is likely to be flexitime / hours credit rather than money.

Its all very well but im over 200 hours in credit cos its too busy for me to take time off!

 

I see, thanks for the info. Better book that month+ off sometime when you can Bobby.

 

Ooooo purple like it. Need purple Ram and it's complete

 

Was just testing the temps.. going to strip it all apart shortly for paint

 

You planning on running Aurora long term? I'd be very interested to hear how you get on!

 

I think i'll drain it in a couple of months time to see whats what.. but so far very impressed!

 

I use Mayhems Pastel Red:

 

Cripes, that is a setup and a half!
